I am creating photo galleries with LOTS of images per gallery. Wondering what your suggestions are as far as linking to the images that live in and Amazon S3 CloudFront bucket. Considering emfield, or just a simple textfield and doing all the fancy work with views. The images are uploaded to Amazon S3, then a node is created...just need to know how to store the Image URL(s) to a node. There will be original image, large, medium, small, thumb, and square sizes for each image. I need to be able to call each size within different views so just looking for options to saving Image Data via CCK.

Any ideas?

Thanks :)

Using imagecache module you can create some presets (thumbs, medium, large images) of one image that uploaded via image field. See drupal.org/project/imagefield and drupal.org/project/imagecache

thanks, but looking more for an Amazon S3 CCK Field, which I found but the images are still processed on the server instead of just putting the url into the field.

Hey, jjjames. I just started working on setting up a drupal site a few weeks ago. I also happened to take a little EC2 / S3 / Cloudfront class over that time and want to use Cloudfront to store and serve my images the same way you are asking about. It sounds like the option to integrate imagecache with Cloudfront is the best option, but I'm looking for something more simple--setup-wise--than that. I would like to just put a cloudfront URL into an image location field in a gallery and be done with it. Did you every find an answer to your question?
