Epinfo is good for that too.  I rename and set timestamps with it
using above and

epinfo -t -r *.jpg

My script then generate thumbnails and medium sized photos and uses
the original's timestamp for them and the generated html page for the
medium sized photo.  I display last-modified on my photo pages using
server side includes.

for i in `ls *.jpg | egrep -v '(sm|med)' | sed -e 's/.jpg//'`; do touch -r $i.jpg $i-{med,sm}* ; done

Dunno offhand if epinfo works on solaris or not.
