You won't be able to do that without a major rewrite of the module, which only uses a single storage location.

If you are simply trying to separate the images in order to restrict access according to the user's role, assign images to different taxonomy terms (EG 'admin' and 'user') and use taxonomy access permissions.

If you want more heavy-duty image and permission management, I'd suggest using Menalto Gallery 2 http://gallery.menalto.com/ which integrates with Drupal (including user registration and roles) via the Gallery module. Gallery2 also allows filesystem hierarchical storage of images in the way you request. You can allow each new user to create their own personal gallery.

Hey Halftone,
Thanks mate!, However the admin generated images I want them to go under \public_html\sites\all\themes\xyz\images(related to website and themeing)

and I want user generated to be under files/images (All that stuff) is there any module that can make this possible.
Thanks
