In drupal 6, I've recently become a fan of using views-slideshow with the image_field module to accomplish things like this. Dealing with the image sizes is going to be a bit tricky, but views slideshow let's you harness the power of views to make arbitrary slideshows. The slideshow rendering pieces are pluggable, and I've seen (but not used) the one that supports thumbnail selection with the slideshow.
I'm not sure If that answers the question, but a solution like content_access with views slideshow and imagefield filefiled module would be what I'd set up today for this.

I've an old D5 web site that I simply use to take technical notes to share with others and a small image gallery of places I've seen that was built with image module.
D5 image module is missing some feature that I'd find useful. Namely I'd like what it consider "original" to be resized anyway.
Furthermore image looks as it is in a permanent dev state and it doesn't have a recent stable version for D6.
I was wondering if someone has an upgrade path to suggest.
I'm ready to reload all the few images I've published with image with another module even if there is no upgrade path but I'm still looking for a good suggestion for an image gallery. These are a few features I'd appreciate: - easy resize - thumbnails - access control (some images should be available just to certain roles) - title and comments for each image - previous/next - integration with taxonomy
thanks
