Batch processing images to PPC resolution

[Guest m80arm]

Anyone know of an easier way to batch process images and changing resolutions.

Basically I have loads of holiday photo's that I want converted to PPC resolution. So instead of 100meg of photos I only have about 30meg and they still look the same.

I currently use paint shop pro for my manipulating. (You wouldn't think I have a degree in multimedia computing :lol: )

Hi,

I used to use Macromedia Fireworks for this... Think there's probably a free trial - try http://www.macromedia.com

Cheers for that.

But I just remembered one - http://www.tucows.com/preview/194967.html

Irfranview lets you do it - and it's free :lol:

Sorry for wasting bandwith :(

If you have XP, you can use Microsoft Image resizer to do it. It is a powertoy that appears on the right click menu. Select all you images, and tell it the size to shrink to (it doesn't destort, it keeps the aspect ratio).

Or direct: http://download.microsoft.com/download/whi...wertoySetup.exe

Works great.

Whenever I copy picture files to my JAM my PC asks me if I want them optimised for PPC automatically and the the pictures look great. AFAIK I don't have any additional software installed on my PC.

I have never really transfered images to the PPC using activesync, only to an SD card using a card reader. Thanks for the tip!

for any lkinux users out there the imagemagick package does the business...

convert -scale 320x240

...so put it into a small bash script, something like...

#!/bin/bash

for file in `ls | grep -v ^_thb_`

do

echo CONVERTING: "$file"

convert -scale 320x240 "$file" "tmp_$file"

mv -f "tmp_$file" "$file"

done
