I was wondering if there was anyway to do this in 1.3.0
I tried the method that worked in 1.2.1 as discussed in this thread:
http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=464.0
But it did not work, is there any way to implement this in 1.3.0?
resize on upload is in the works for the next version of coppermine.

somehow related: is there a way to have cpg automatically convert all uploaded pics to jpg (normal/thumb/original)?
Yes.
You do it with GD by changinf the write method. (imagepng() becomes imagejpeg())
In IM, you alter the destination filename by changing it's extension to .jpg, which tells image magick to make it a jpeg.
