I don't have a recommendation for a WYSIWYG HTML editor.  (I don't
edit much HTML anymore, but when I do, I still prefer to do it by
hand.  And I really hate it when an automatic tool sucks in my
neatly formatted HTML and makes a mess of it.)

As for the command line image conversion tools, you probably already
have a complete set installed on your linux box.  The programs in
question are part of the libgr-progs collection.  On my Red Hat 6.0
box, the version number for the RPM is libgr-progs-2.0.13-17.

Here's a complete list of the programs:

Also, there are some useful utilities from libjpeg-6b-9:

    cjpeg djpeg jpegtran rdjpgcom wrjpgcom

Amazing, huh?

Anyway, to do convert a GIF file to a JPEG file, you could do it like
this:

    giftopnm image.gif | cjpeg >image.jpg

And if you wanted to convert a GIF to a PNG, you could do it like this:

    giftopnm image.gif | pnmtopng >image.png

Here's how you'd enlarge a GIF file two and a half times and convert
it to a PNG file:

    giftopnm image.gif | pnmscale 2.5 | pnmsmooth | pnmtopng >bigimage.png

There are lots of command line options associated with these tools
and there are lots of tools.  You can scale your images, change
the aspect ratio, crop them, do gamma correction, etc, etc, etc.
Consult the man pages.  (I've only used a handful of them, but
they're incredibly useful and not that hard to use.)

Hope this helps,

Kevin
