The following from Fookes Software for their Easy Thumbnails product. I've used it for a couple of years - free. Great for getting thumbnails on forums, blogs, etc.
Easy Thumbnails - Produce thumbnails the easy way, quickly, and for free!
Easy Thumbnails is a popular free utility for creating accurate thumbnail images and scaled-down/up copies from a wide range of popular picture formats. An elegant interface makes it a snap to find your images and select them for processing individually, in groups, or in whole folders, using a simple file selector and built-in image viewer. You can use slider controls to rotate images and adjust their contrast, brightness, sharpness and quality, and check out the results with the built-in viewer.

This software can be very useful for scaling down the size of images for theBubbler.com free classifieds, for Member pages and for the Forums.
