A solution for image management for mobile devices is described which preserves a high resolution copy of the image while accommodating the throughput limitations of a multimedia low bandwidth network infrastructure, an example of which is the Multi-Media Messaging System used in cellular networks. Software in a mobile device sending an image generates a reference for accessing a high resolution copy of the image in network accessible high resolution image storage while sending a low resolution copy of the image with the reference over the multimedia low bandwidth communication path to a recipient device, and the high resolution copy of the image to the network accessible storage over a higher bandwidth communication path suitable for multimedia transfer. The recipient device accesses the high resolution copy of the image using the reference over a high bandwidth communication path suitable for multimedia transfer.
