Use Nautilus Scripts! I currently have a bunch for image editing, mainly
converting between formats and resizing. For more information, check out
the website: http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/faq.php

I believe imagemagick is installed by default so you should have that.
An example script of mine is to convert to a PNG:

#!/bin/bash

while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do
	picture=$1
	png_file=`echo "$picture" | sed 's/\.\w*$/.png/'`
	/usr/bin/convert -quality 95 -depth 8 "$picture" png:"$png_file"
	shift
done

Using the documentation at the imagemagick website, you can put together
a small script to resize images, add a copyright notice, etc.
Specifically, look at this page:
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php

Now all you have to do is browse to the folder, select the images, and
run the script.

(Nautilus Scripts aren't limited to just image editing, you can automate
most anything with them.)
