Software for preparing images for the web

"What do you mean with publishing?

Putting them in a Flickr/Picasa like webalbum or on your own website?

Because in case of Picasa they can change the ""size"" of your image collection in bulk if you like.

Finding a tool that will also upload them to ftp will be harder to find, since a lot of the larger software packages will upload to their own website. Though perhaps you can set up a destination folder that syncs with your ftp. Takes a little bit more time, but get's it done just as well.

Or specify more precisely what it is your wanting to do, so I know what to look for."
