This would help in managing images.

Instead of having 3 different sizes for each image, images should be dynamically sized based on where it is being displayed. Either a standard width and/or height.

For example, admins can set storefront images to have a set width of 200, shopping cart images can have a set image width of 75, New Product Items can have image height of 50

I am new to MM, so if this could already be done, I'd love to know how to do it.

Instead of listing 3 different images for small, medium, large, it would be useful if we could use the same image/URL and designate the height/width for that image for each product.

Actually, the site would be more consistent if you had limitations in place such that small had a max width of 60 and max height of 60, medium was max 120wx120h, and maybe large has no limitations?

Just an idea...

for most places on the site, I was able to use the robust HTML Templates and add image attributes to the images in question.

Just go to the design, HTML Templates, and look for where the images are displayed (for example, in featured products) and add code like
Code:
width="120"
in the <img tag.

While this does not fully function as a "max height" function, it should work fine considering your original images are typically larger than all the heights/widths you wish to use.

The main drawback is that it may take longer for pages to load as all the images are loaded with the original (larger) size. One way to get around this is if MM implemented some PHP image manipulation software on their servers. I am familiar with "ASPJpeg" for ASP pages, but not sure if it will work on PHP, or what the PHP equivalent would be.

Cheers!
