From: Chris Robinson 

JAlbum's what I already use for my site generation but the image resizing
sucks (I've tried various combinations - even the "use high quality
scaling" doesn't make much difference) :o(  That's why I used to
resize first using XP's Resize Powertoy.  Apart from that, I love JAlbum -
it's great.

Chris.
