Photo geeks, help!

I'm building some galleries for a website. Is there an easy way to:

1. Take a bunch of images that you want in a gallery and make them all thumbnail-sized

2. Make those thumbnails clickable so they open a larger image

3. Make a gallery with little arrows so a person can click from one image to the next

4. Create a slideshow in Dreamweaver that does #3 by itself

Thankye!

I do it all by hand. :\ Photoshop, html, sweat. but I think that's easy, perhaps I'm a masochist after all...

I have scripts I wrote to do (1) and (2), but they require access to a Unix/Linux/MacOS system. (Would be trivial to add (3). I’m not sure what you mean by (4).)

The free image viewer IrfanView has a tool to do the former two. It might do the third, too--I don't recall.

There are a bunch of free programs that'll do that for you. Do a Google search on "gallery freeware" and similar terms, and you should find one that fits the bill. I used to have one that did all three perfectly, creating custom galleries, thumbnails and pages in simple html, but I can't remember what it was called. If the name comes back to me, I'll post a link.
