There is an ImageOpReader sitting in JIRA[1] as a contribution, which didn't gain enough interest to be included in the main/block distro. I never got to complete the parts that I don't use, but essentially we generate any sized image (out of really high-res tiff images), including thumbs, for browsing, for computer view and print. I am surprised at how quick the Java2D libraries can be and the caching in Cocoon seems to work nicely (at least for our relatively low traffic sites).
