This is currently not possible as this would duplicate the behavior of the image.module.

pathauto compability should be possible, I'll try to look at this in the next days.

Could you require "Image" module as a requirement and simply create Image nodes once files are uploaded to an Album. While I agree, copying the image module code into Album Photos would duplicate Image Module, I'm unclear on how creating uploads as Image nodes would be duplicating this behavior. If you could elaborate, i'd be interested.

As for add-on modules like Crop and Watermark, this is something we can already do with minor modifications on the theme level. You can install imagecache and imagecache actions modules, then modify the image template to include your imagecache paths. This is what I plan on doing for now. I'll post code here for you, once I actually go ahead and do this.

Ideally, I'd prefer if Photo Albums would allow us to select our imagecache presets (should the module exist) for Thumb, Normal and Full images. Doing this on the theme level is fine for me though, but maybe not for less technical users.

The D7 version uses core image styles. There should module(s) available to add functionality like watermarking etc.
