This URL is 404 .

These are the options I use to generate Web images and thumbnails:

for f in *.jpg;
do
  nice convert -strip -resize "700x600>" \
  -quality 70 \
  -comment "%c Copyright 1996-2008 http://goatee.net/" -antialias -pointsize 12\
  -font 'helvetica' \
  -fill '#999999' -gravity SouthEast \
  -draw 'text 10,10 " 2008 http://goatee.net/"' \
  $f ./images/$f
  nice convert -strip -resize "160x120" -quality 60  -resize "160x120"  $f ./images/thumbs/$f;
done

oops, sorry, those should have been:

[2] http://impressive.net/software/photo/source/make_variants
   http://impressive.net/software/photo/source/make_variant

(As a rule I always cut and paste URIs to avoid this problem, but
the networking here sucks so I skipped it this time.)

I use another script [3] to add a visible copyright notice in
some cases, e.g. for uploading to facebook; sample output:
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=180212&l=39387&id=858660153

My text is slightly more obnoxious than yours because I want it
to be legible even if the images are scaled down a bit.

I have another script that does bulk uploads to facebook [4];
it calls add_watermark before uploading.
