Hi Terry,

you might try a program like J-Album ( http://jalbum.net/ or another
one at http://www.through-the-lens.net/ ).
It is free, inserts the captions automatically, does the resizing and
provides lots of templates. It saves a lot of work and the results can
easily look professional.

Thanks, lutz. Yes, had same recommendation from elsewhere couple of
days ago and am experimenting with JAlbum now. Bit daunting, with all
those options, but looks every bit as good as you say!
