Picturesque seems to be a nice program to make stylish pictures for webpublishing

Taken from the homepage of Acqualia.com.

Picturesque is an application designed to make images look gorgeous for the web.

With an animated “drag and drop” style interface, Picturesque can beautify your images with reflections, soft glows, shadows, delicate curves, strokes and fades in less time than it takes to open Photoshop.

Picturesque can also beautify a whole stack of images in batch with a single click, and includes a set of handy Automator actions.
