Hello guys!
I am currently doing some projects where I have several thousand of pictures downloaded from the internet and I need to standardize their size to 95x86.
Mostly jpg, a few are gif format. Different sizes too.
I would appreciate it if someone can share how I can resize them using the terminal. I have some experience resizing movies/videos but as far as pictures, no experience whatsoever.
Thank you in advance for any advises.
Regards,
nujinini
Imagemagick is a console app that should work well for getting the job done:
http://www.imagemagick.org/
ImageMagick: Command-line Tools
It might already be installed on your system, depending which distro you run.
ImageMagick: Convert, Edit, Or Compose Bitmap Images can be used for this.
An example looks like this
Of course, there are a lot of options.Code:convert example.gif -resize 95x86 small_example.gif
Knock yourself out :)

Thanks Ozar and Irithori!
ImageMagick doesn't seem to be installed in my jaunty and I'm having a little difficulty getting it as per my output.

I don't know much about jaunty or its repositories, but if the imagemagick package isn't in the repos, you might be able to use the package from one of the other ubuntu releases, or at the very least you should be able to install it from source. You might try googling install imagemagick jaunty for some howto articles where others have installed it.
Thank you Ozar, I think this did it for me. I have it already.Quote:

Can someone please share if its possible at all to do it in the CLI using a *jpeg to do everything in one shot? And also to direct the output to another folder?
Just curious, thanks! Well actually I'm hoping it can be done really :)
Look at using mogrify to resize multiple images:Quote:

I tried mogrify but can't seem to get it right. The error says "no such file" but I am quite sure I have the picture in that folder. In fact I dragged it to the terminal. :confused:
Maybe something is wrong with my syntax? Would appreciate any help please. Thank you!

EDIT: I got it already. I executed
$ sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib
A little googling went a long way. I got the tip from this site.
Thank you for your patience!
