just use imagemagick or something.

But if what you're trying to do is organize digital photos on your website,
then I heartily recommend 'photoframe'.  A php script that just does everything
for you.

My wife takes hundreds of pictures of our baby every month and I have to
put them up on a website for grandparents every couple of days or else my
phone rings.  With photoframe, it's just an 'scp' and the rest is automatic.
