Normally, when you go to upload a new picture on your blog, you are given four primary insertion options. In addition to the areas for selecting the alignment, alt text, and link information, you can also select the size of the image that you would like to insert in your blog post. These sizes can be adjusted from within the WordPress control panel.
There are four sizes by default: thumbnail, medium, large, and full size. For the most part, you should be able to find the size that you need based on these four options and your ability to customize their respective dimensions from the dashboard. But what if you want more? That’s where the Additional Image Sizes plug-in comes into play.
As you can imagine, this WordPress plug-in lets you define additional image sizes that can be removed and added at will. The user interface is meant to be quite simple and straightforward, so if you already know how to embed new images in your blog posts, you should have no trouble understanding this added functionality.

In the requirements section of the plugin it says that it is also compatible with WordPress 2.9’s image editing features, do you know if the features of this plugin will be rendered useless when wordpress 2.9 comes out?
Thanks,
Jean

I’ve been looking for such a plugin for quite some time. It’s strange nobody created it so far. Having the option to set my of sizes is a real timesaver on my blog.

Hi Jean,
No, the plugin won’t be useless. All that means is that when you resize an image or crop it for instance the plugin will make sure that your oddly sized images are also cropped.
