[Zope] FS Photo product

[Peter Bengtsson]

At the moment I have no problem with the Photo metatype except that I can't
download my whole site and take it home to improve it because the Photo
album section is too big.
But if you think that many Image objects is performancly better than one
Photo object, maybe it is something I should look into.

What? What '"randomly" messed up [dimensions]'? Are the dimensions of the
different sizes not right? (honestly, a resize in a Photo is worse than when
you do it in Photoshop)
