Here's the explanation:

These are the original images to be cropped in batch, all jpegs, all in the same folder:

(It's a single image here, but these are in fact separate files)

The next step is to create a montage (still done manually):

montage -define jpeg:size=220x -geometry 220x220 *.jpg montage1.png

This past memorial day weekend I took a bunch of pictures which I wanted to post to the web. Web photos are best viewed in 800x600px and I had a lot of them. So I used a simple command to do it.

Code:

for x in `ls -1`;do convert -resize 800x600 $x `echo $x | sed 's/.JPG/.png/'`;done
mkdir web_album
for x in `ls -1 *.png`;do convert $x web_album/`echo $x | sed 's/.png/.jpg/'`;done
rm *.png

Now I don't have to spend all my time in Gimp with that simple batch command.

Installation:

Code:

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

Code:

Usage: (converts each image into an individual pdf)
