Hot Lightbox module will do the rest for you. What actually it does?

The module utomatically creates thumbnail images and save them in /thumbs subdirectory of your directory with images. You select the thumbnail images width and height in the module propertie. Also, you can select quality of the thumbnail images. The module will also create a Lightbox slide show. Click on any thumbnail image will open a larger image in the Lightbox pop-up.
