Hi, What's the proper way to downsize an image?
I want to downsize my 1152x864 image to 500x, so I did: convert -resize 500x screenshot.png screenshot-thumbnail.png I was thinking that the downsized thumbnail should be around 1/4 of the original size, but I am totally wrong: $ identify screenshot* screenshot-thumbnail.png PNG 500x375 500x375+0+0 DirectClass 509kb screenshot.png[1] PNG 1152x864 1152x864+0+0 DirectClass 82kb $ ls -l screenshot* -rw-r--r-- 1 tong tong 521280 03-29 16:54 screenshot-thumbnail.png -rw-r--r-- 1 tong tong 83876 2007-01-01 screenshot.png The size is not smaller but over 6 times bigger. I remember that I need to something extra, so I tried the following, but that didn't help. The thumbnail is the same size as before: convert -size 500x375 -resize 500x screenshot.png screenshot-thumbnail.png Please help.
