title: Adding different thumnail sizes to products in magento
body: <p>I have a magento store that sells glasses, clothing etc. The problem is that i would like my glasses to have thumbnails that are say 300px X 100px and the clothes to have thumbnails that are 300px X 300px.</p>
  
  <p>I can think of a few different routes I might take but I am unsure of the implications each route would have on the upgradeablity of my store. (currently using Magento 1.4.2 as i dont yet have faith in 1.5.x)</p>
  
  <p><strong>Route 1) Adding Extra image sizes to products</strong></p>
  
  <p>So this route I would somehow add an extra image to my products in the admin area and each product would have a glasses size thumb and a clothing size thumb.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Route 2) Altering the thumbnail size depending on attribute set</strong></p>
  
  <p>I would put some sort of a case statement in the image resizing script to change the size of the thumnail depending on the attribute set the product is using.</p>
  
  <p>If anyone has any other ideas on how this might be accomplished it would be greatly appreciated!</p>
