Existing users, 
I have no clue why anyone would need a separate application to download individual images from Webshots, since every OS X web browser supports drag and drop. If someone can't figure out drag and drop, then they will be even more hopeless when trying to use WBZ Helper.
What I would love to see is a good application for uploading images to free image hosting sites like Webshots. Both Webshots and Imageshack offer rudimentary apps for this purpose, but we really need something with more sophistication and polish than the existing apps offer. Last I checked, both apps lacked the ability to organize images into albums for uploading, and they could not be used to organize one's already hosted images.

What I need is a good UPloader - versiontracker2007
The REASON is because WebShots protect images with Flash layers, and using the Download button results in files in their proprietary .WBZ format, which GraphicConverter refuses to open (it's not that it just can't open them, it displays a message saying that it knows what the file is, but it refuses to open it because it could be a "copyright" thing; I don't know why this program is immune from the same issue). You CAN'T just drag and drop them off the website. Not anymore anyway.This is a helper app to deal with the stupid .WBZ format. That's all it's there for. It will convert them into the more sane and logical JPEG format, and toss the stupid version out. The same company has the PictureSync program which does uploading to Flickr and other sites (although annoyingly, not .Mac or PicasaWeb).
