Best Auto Resizing/Cropping of Uploaded Images?

If you go here: http://www.nowpublic.com/tag/Culture

You'll see that each teaser, running down the page, has an image sized/cropped to the exact same size. These images are posted by users from around the world. I assume the resizing/cropping is done automatically. How would you achieve this affect in Drupal - these guys are notoriously using Drupal?

Is this custom php or could you accomplish this with image cache or another module?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes, you can do that with image exact sizes (http://drupal.org/project/image_exact) or imagecache (http://drupal.org/project/imagecache). The page you linked there looks like it uses the Views module and a CCK content type with imagefield and imagecache.

I'm not sure which modules are currently in place at nowpublic but you can ensure the availability of exact-size thumbnails (in multiple standard sizes!) using the imagecache module.

thanks guys!
