And here's another alternative that I use:
My jpg's are scanned in either Photoshop or Corel Photopaint, and the final
image saved to a max width/height of 800 or 600, depending on the image, since
this is a good size on most browsers, and keeps the jpg file well under 100k
usually.
I then use a shareware program called VuePrint Pro (see www.hamrick.com) which
allows one to set the output width (or height) and quickly save a whole mass of
files in a folder using this size. ie: I limit the width to 100 pixels, so the
thumbnails are lined up nicely. By saving them as GIF instead of jpg, it allows
you to quickly key through each file (hit V to save, Space for next
image) without messing with different filenames. When dealing with large
numbers of thumbnails at once, many browsers seem to handle GIFs faster than
JPGs, and at 100 pixels, there is little difference in size (or quality).
See my photo pages for examples...
