Hi All,

I have been Googling my head off but cannot find a method to stream edit
all the images in a directory and to resize them. I have a large number
of images of up to 3GB in size that I want to put in albums on a
website, but before I do this I need to resize them to a more realistic
configuration.


I know how to do this manually with the GIMP but it becomes tedious for
more than a few images.


Running CentOS 5 as virtualised under XEN as a web server.

TIA

ChrisG

Install ImageMagick and learn about the programs associated with it
(convert(1), mogrify(1) etc).





cheers,

imagemagick can do this, its a command line batch image editor. its a
little tricky to figure out. I note its in the base Centos5 repository.

Try ImageMagick - yum info ImageMagick. It has lots of slick tools for
image manipulation.

I wrote a shell script to do just that, attached below. It requires a couple
of readily available command line tools from the packages:

netpbm-progs
libjpeg

And of course you can tune the scaling and quality to suit your needs.

Have you looked at Jalbum?
http://jalbum.net/
I think it is java, and they have it for windows, linux and mac.
It can even do the thumbnails.

And please don't yell at me with your subject! ;-P

Install ImageMagick and use convert. Something like this will get you
started.


# cd /path/to/pics; mkdir resized
# for i in *.jpg; do convert -resize 50% $i resized/$i; done

Max

for example:

mogrify -size 480x320 *.jpg

will convert all the jpgs to 480x320

mogrify -size 480x320> *.jpg

will resize everything bigger than 480x320 down & leave the smaller stuff alone.
