Greetings ...
I'm looking for a good way to reduce the size of my JPG files and make them available on my site in a decent slideshow format. A lot of the tools, like Jalbum, and are pretty rudimentary. I'd like something that looks good and runs low-bandwidth html or maybe JavaScript.
What's a good (free?) option these days? I had SmugMug at one point but found it annoying.
Another thing I am in need of is a way to rename files and add a sequential number in the filename string. I have Lightroom but it seems to totally screw up and can't sequence numbers. I installed v2 of Lightroom and it's a disaster, by the way.
Thanks for any feedback

If you really want freeware then I suggest (on Windows platform) a combination of Picasa and IrfanView.
Picasa is a fine little swiss-army-knife type tool and you can use it to upload images to Picasa Web Albums or SmugMug. You can make copies of whole directories of images to a reduced size and then apply sharpening for the web across all of the copies (but one-at-a-time).
Alternately, IrfanView has batch interpolation/resizing and batch sharpening that, I believe, are much more customizable.
