Yebbut, it's commercial, I'm trying to stay away from that path.

PSP != Photoshop, and the Gimp is comparable to both in many ways.

However, I have found an even easier method of doing what I wanted. I 
scan, orient and crop in Gimp, then save the jpgs to a directory.

Then I run a perl script I just wrote which resizes, bevels and 
watermarks all of these pics in one go ready to be uploaded. 
(Imagemagick, PerlMagick and some quite easy perl)

So I'm happy. :)
