Hello, I want to create several montages from images in a folder.

So I have one folder, it has for example 300 images in it, and I want to divide them up so that you have several montages that are 10 images wide by 12 high (total montage size being 300x240 (so each image in the montage is 30x20).

I was able to write a script using montage from imagemagick that takes the images and puts them together, but I have a few issues:

1. How do i have it choose random images and get several montages?
2. How do I specify the final image size, or somehow tell it i want 10 images across and 12 down and each image should be 30x20? (and crop out the white borders if the image is not in a 3:2 dimension size.)

--Thanks for the help.

Have you seen this page?
