Thumbnails of screenprints with rounded corners & drop shadows?

What software should I be using in Windows XP Pro to produce a small thumbnail (120×80 or smaller) with rounded corners and drop shadows?

Often I want to use a thumbnail of a screen in an article on my (Txp) weblog. It would be a link to the full-size image. However, I’d like for the thumbnail to have a drop shadow and rounded corners.

Any suggestions? Is there any screen print software that has a setting that allows you to take a rectangle from the larger image and automatically put rounded corners and shadows on the thumbnail? I don’t want to screenprint and edit in an image editor every time this need arises.

Thanks.

Photoshop.
You could use elements if you can’t afford much.
