Perhaps you could run GIMP from the command line to get it to re-size... You should also consider what quality setting you are using to dump out the JPEG. Maybe imagecopyresampled would have been fine if you cranked up the JPEG output quality setting to a higher value... You'll pay for it in filesize, though. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
