What App best for bulk download of watermarked images?

WinsomeWorks

I'm not even sure if this is possible. I would like to be able to download a gallery or even just a small batch (5, 10, 30 whatever) of my watermarked images from SmugMug to my home computer a couple times a week. Typically I'd be wanting to download small to large sizes (not tiny or huge). I looked through the list of Apps but by the descriptions could not tell which, if any, could do this for me. I have a PC with Adobe Photoshop (CS 2), and am able to use FF or IE for now. I don't have LightRoom or anything quite like it.

My reason for doing this is that I often need smaller, watermarked, web-friendly versions of a bunch of photos for display on other sites: Etsy, Facebook, Panoramio, NaturePhotographers, etc. I don't yet know how to do a bulk process on them in PS or anything (if anyone has a link to instructions for this, I'd be thrilled) so I'm spending more time than I'd like to do this. I usually go to my Smug gallery, "get a link", then go to the link & copy the photo, then paste it into a folder on my PC... one by one. I'm sure there's a better way to quickly get a watermarked copy. (This is still lots faster than opening PS & watermarking an image one at a time, but it's not optimal, obviously!) Thanks for any instructions. [P.S. I do not have almost zilch experience with Apps, so I would need details that are pretty easy to follow]

I use Fast Stone Photo Resizer to quickly resize and watermark images for upload to various site like you mention. This is done against local originals I keep on my hard drive.

With that said, I believe I saw at least one of the downloads allow you to select which size images to download (which would probably also include the watermark if you are downloading anything but the original).

Also check out the thread about SmugLoader, specifically this entry. I think with the "anonymous access" feature you may be able to do what you want. I would suggest asking on that thread about it.

Thank you, BeachBill-- I'm gonna check them both out....
