refine image upload experience

[arena]

Here is an example
demo: http://edgedemo.cloudinary.com/
code: http://plugins.jquery.com/cloudinary/

Ideally, the image would show up in the cms as a thumbnail and also show up at the appropriate size (retina, regular or mobile) on the site. Currently, there is no thumbnail.

Also, some users are confused by the need to save the entire form in order for the image to be updated on the site. This is especially true on long forms or when changing an image is the only activity the user was performing on that form. Options:

• intermediate confirm + cancel buttons ("looks good, use it!" and "oops, cancel.")
• clearer messaging that they need to save the form
• optimistically trust the user to get the image right and propagate it to cloudinary as soon as they upload it. If they made a mistake the remedy is to fix it by uploading the old image.
• ... etc.
