Hi Helen, Yes, there is a solution, and it is a slight extension of what you have mentioned.
Thumbnail image placeholder references Full image placeholder. Thumbnail image placeholder has placeholder setting of automatic image resize (it is done via ImageMagik on server side) to your desire width. You will then ask, "Then for each of these image module pages, I will have to manually reference the images?" Answer: yes, unless you have a plugin that retroactively references, and automatically reference on page open, both I had written. Please let me know if the solution works for you. If so, we can talk about delivery of the plugin.
