I often save two sizes for different places as well, when I do I put an S on
the end of the name of the first one. I.E., catsonarug.jpg and
catsonarugS.jpg. Helps me find the right one when I go back later.

I have to save my clients pictures and they are often large, too large
for email or posting, so I save the picture as for eg, 2345 to 2345b.
Saves a lot of time and works good. Then I sent the b item which is
email size.
