Paul,
One program you didn't mention was Picasa, now from Google. They have Linux
versions. In the version of HP software that I have, HP will only do a crop
to fit, whereas Picasa will also do a shrink to fit.

Unless I"ve missed something, Irfanview does not do multiple images, except
as you've noted, for contact sheets.  I have long loved IV and have sent $$$
for support, but it's been pretty stagnant in many ways for a long time. The
Thumbs (T) sub-program is a good example. I still use it from time to time,
but XnView.org has pretty well become my "go to" viewer/manipulator program.
I still keep IV as my default "Open with" when I double click on an image
format file.  Bang! Right there, now.

These other programs and what the OP wanted were options like one 8x10, two
5x7's, wallets, 3 on a page, combos, etc. The HP and Canon programs are
great for that.

Not to diss Linux or the community, but with Windows I have many options for
what I want to do.  I have never found one program of any type that did it
all the ways I liked.  All have strengths, all have weaknesses.  For me,
digiKam is one more, and I am very grateful for what it does better than
other programs.  But I could not live with it alone, Linux or otherwise.

Paul

"Irfanview does not have multi-image options, but it's great for a quick one
off with easily changed size options."

Press T in Irfanview for the Thumbnail view, which does batch resizing, etc.
I believe it will print contact sheets, not sure about the watermarks.
