Its quite common when making a site to need a different size image for the first teaser than the rest of the teasers in the list. This job is made more difficult because when the CCK image field is sent to the template it only gives you the end result in the $output variable and does not give you the images path.

Its does however give you a file id in the raw data which you can use to load the file object and get all the information you need create a new image from a different preset.

The best way I have found to export nodes is through the views bonus pack. After installing that you will see a bunch of new options in the feed display. Now you can select the style of CSV file.

I did notice that the headers are not set correctly but you can fix this by opening up views-bonus-export-csv.tpl.php and adding
drupal_set_header('Content-Type: text/x-comma-separated-values; charset=UTF-8');
drupal_set_header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="data.csv"');

The Drupal views system is awesome and delivers graphical query building with fast performance. However from time to time you may wish to add certain complexity to your view that the module just cant deliver.
