Re: [newbie] resizing photos
Thanks! Had never seen that command before. Worked like a charm! - paul On Mon, 2002-09-30 at 17:38, Alastair Scott wrote: On 30 Sep 2002 17:16:24 -0400 Paul Rodriguez [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there a way to resize a bunch of photos at the same time?

I have found that mogrify seems to have trouble compressing photos from my camera (an Olympus 3030z). If I load them into the Gimp first and save them, then when mogrify resamples them they will be a half to a tenth (on small images) the size! Mogrify compresses jpeg's at 75 on a scale of 100. Gimp, by default, also saves jpeg's at 75. So, I wonder if the size difference is a result of undergoing a 25% compression two times? You might try mogrify and specifying a quality of 50 and see if you get comparable results--and save yourself a step. I'm going to try it now.

If I load them into the Gimp first and save them, then when mogrify resamples them they will be a half to a tenth (on small images) the size! This is easier to do than it sounds, providing you have a good bit of RAM in your computer. From the GIMP, open a bunch of images ... I can easily open 50 640x480 images (but then I have 1GB of RAM). They will overlap all over the place on your desktop, but just let 'em finish loading. Then press CTRL+s to save the active image, and CTRL+w to close that window. Repeat until done. Then do your mogrify (see man mogrify) and compare to ones you did without the step of loading into the GIMP. Maybe the mogrify in 9.0 will make this unnecessary. But it's still a LOT faster than resampling them all in the GIMP.

[newbie] resizing photos
Is there a way to resize a bunch of photos at the same time? I have a folder with 42 photos from my digital camera and would like to make them 1/3 the size to put on the web in as few strokes as possible. Ok, at least in an easy and reproducable way. - Paul Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
