I've created four image fields for a specific field type in my site. These will be sub-images that can be viewed later, so I need thumbnails for each one (save bandwidth, for example). Is there a way that I can have Drupal convert these four images into small 50px x 50px thumbs, and use these thumbs somewhere else?

I think you can use the
I think you can use the image module, it automatically creates thumbnails and preview of each image you upload, or you ca use a specific sofware to resize the image to the desired size

Where do I find these thumbs? I don't see them anywhere, including in the /files/images folder I set.
Image Module
Hey I just Installed this one yesterday. It works great. It depends on the Image_upload module though. My Images show up in that folder.
Did you specify what folder you are using? You also need to make that folder on your server.
I must be missing something.
I must be missing something. I have the images/ folder I specified for these custom image fields, and it does have all of the images I've uploaded. But it by no means has created any thumbnails. I have image_upload installed (it's part of the Image package, along with some other image modules). How have you used the Image module?
imagecache module
imagecache module let's you define presets for different versions of your images, it can scale and crop, integrates nicely with Views.

IMCE module
I'm pretty happy with the IMCE module. When users upload their gigantic 2 meg images out of their cameras I have it set to re-size them down to 500x500 at (jpg-75) and thumbs of 150x150.
I fiddled with it for days, and I'm honestly not sure what's doing it, but I think it's IMCE. Anyway, it's a great solution -- teaching users to re-size the pictures was an exercise in futility.
