Gemini,
Try Thumnailer ver 6.4 and use the
the plugins available for it. They
have several that will create edges and drop shadow effects. You can also use Image Fade in the Advanced settings to create quick edge effects. It even allows you to use your own fade effect that can be created in photoshop.
http://www.smalleranimals.com is where the plugins and the program can be gotten.
