Not much needs to be changed at all. The products.tpl and the products_t.tpl file already use a setting in Admin to set the width of the image, so there is no change there (unless you really want to). The largest change is in the product.tpl file - but it is just replacing the the thumbnail code with some new code.

Also, if you have customized a cart skin, and you have set the image X width, then it will use this setting to generate the thumbs.

Outside of that, you just replace the product_thumbnail.tpl with a new one.

In other words the changes are very very minimal.

In terms of Admin functions and working with images - nothing changes. I think that this is the single most important thing for people to realize. You just upload a nice size image (via whatever method you are used to using - CSV, one at a time...) as the tumbnail for the image. This mod takes care of automatically creating new ones where and when necessary throughout the site. There are no extra buttons to push, no extra processes that you have to start running in the background, no weird way of assigning images to the product. The same goes for the Detail images. Just upload nice one as you normally would.
