Tres,

Several perhaps better options are tools intended for command line use:

https://www.imagemagick.org/script/download.php

Or, for considerably more sophisticated image work (with correspondingly
more detailed and opaque documentation) G'MIC (which also has a builtin
tool for use inside GIMP usually packaged with GIMP):

https://gmic.eu/download.shtml

Both of these tools can be scripted.

Regards.
