For drupal 6, image field was recenly released where it can be integrated with CCK.Probably the most exciting improvement is the addition of upload progress indication. This enhancement requires the PECL uploadprogress PHP extension, but adds a real asset to sites that use FileField for podcasts, videos, or other large files.ImageField is now completely dependent on FileField for its data handling. This means less duplicated, less bugs, and more compatibility between add-on modules. If an add-on module works for FileField, it automatically works for ImageField. This means that ImageField is now purely a "widget" for CCK, not a "field" any more.
Hook file support
Other modules can use FileField's hook_file() implementation to help determine when and where a file is in use. This means modules like the new FileField Sources module can reuse existing images on multiple nodes, even use IMCE to browse existing images and reuse them (as long as the files are assigned an FID in the database).
