I'm not sure about any such software that's around (I'm losing track of what
comes out these days...), but there may well be something suitable.

BUT - if you do get a system set up, one of your first tasks will be to set
out clear simple but well defined rules/requirements for image submissions.

If you don't (or if your requirements are in the least bit ambiguous...) you
will end up with everything from 72dpi jpeg thumbnails to 350mb tif files to
.psd files to all sorts of obscure formats, varying sizes, resolutions and
colour spaces.

He says knowingly from experience :-)
