I not sure if it helps but maybe css would be helpfull to give an answer to 
some of the itens above. I have found a tutorial that shows how to use css to 
make a photo gallery where the rows are filled depending on the layout - 
fixed or liquid. Also css has some tricks to change caps.

Maybe it can help, so here it is.
