Store images there, instead of in the dB or on the file system

The next version will include a third option where documents/images are stored - database, file system and Amazon S3

This is excellent , please will you consider S3 server side encryption (AWS option) of images. Client side image encryption even better

Both methods are presented here:

will there be an easy way for us to store a thumbnail on S3 as well?
and/or ability to resize image before going to S3? (we can do that now for local images)

In one of my apps, I'd hate to throw away the originally submitted hi-res image. So i'd like to keep Original, and then a resized image for general showing on screens, and then a 70x50-ish thumbnail.

The ability to have an Aware phone app upload a big image and end up with three S3 images would be fantastic!

Yes

"and/or ability to resize image before going to S3? (we can do that now for local images)"
Have you seen the "image editing" feature?

"Have you seen the "image editing" feature?"

I mean programmatically.
In my above post, I need access to Original, a more common "usable" size, and thumbnail.

If my main Instance record is a Product...
then I need to store 3 images on S3 somehow when the user uploads a large phone captured image.
In my "PhotoUploadMulti" process, after I create the record to store the uploaded image, do I manually have to IMAGE_RESIZE and create ANOTHER image for my smaller version, THEN again for my thumbnail... thereby manually making my 3 images as 3 different records related to the main Instance ?
Or maybe for each Product, I have 3 Image fields in every instance, and do the same IMAGE_RESIZE stuff for image 2 & 3.

IMGIX allows you to store ONE image and modify the URL for your needs (like to specify a size for display).
With IMGIX I'd just store the main image path and modify the end of the URL and it will resize it for me.
