Upload, crop and resize images

Please read
Image manipulation library - http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/li...e_lib.html
File upload library - http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/li...ading.html

You need just to combine them.

I personally will make a sample model : Model_Images which will cover all possible manipulations over images and I will call it on successfull upload.
