I am not knowlegable using the terminal, yet. Is there a graphic user
interface that will manipulate large jpg files to make them smaller and
usable on the computer?

Using it is very easy. You might want to lean the basics.
I have found imagemagic to be a bit hard to understand.
You can use gimp as a gui image program and there are others too.

Yes, it's called 'konsole' and it renders these amazing fonts *and* it reads
from the keyboard so you can type all kinds of amazing commands (which is
quicker than using menus and buttons) like convert -resize 16x16 blah.jpg



Sorry, couldn't resist. Try Gimp or Krita but I don't know any small
interfaces off-hand.

If its a bit difficult to use, download Grokking The Gimp (its in the
repositories)

Steven,
I totally forgot -- there is an awesome app called "Phatch" (for photo batch)
that's out there. Hardy has it in the repos, but you can get it from the
website (go search) and it's easy to install. It's really pretty damn
amazing.

I had to do a quick resize of a directory full of jpg's so that I could burn then to CD, so that
a bunch of friends could watch them on a TV via a DVD player.
The problem was that the originals were large and taking too long to load - so (after installing
imagemagick):
nigel@laptop:~$ cd path_to_dir
nigel@laptop:~/path_of_dir$ for i in *.jpg; do montage -geometry 800x603 -background black
-quality 95 $i -$i; done
(note: the above is all on one line).

You can change some of the parameters such as the quality. The '-background back' is a nice trick
so that 'portrait' pics have a black background that is invisible when viewed on a TV screen. The
'-geometry 800x603' was acquired by resizing one of my cameras jpg's in the Gimp.

This one-liner will make copies of your originals and prefixing them with a hyphen (-$i

HTH

Blessings,

Nigel

Hmmm the 'phatch' I see in the repositories says:

This package provides a module allowing you to use the SQLite3 self-contained
database engine from within your PHP scripts, eliminating the need for a full
SQL server installation like MySQL or PostgreSQL.

Yeh... I did a search on 'photo batch' and a different phatch came up.
