Agree with all of the above: dismissing imagemagick, esp. for batch operations, borders on insanity.
It being "versatile" would be an understatement, esp. with its scriptability, being a command line utility.

So upon obtaining help from whichever photo editor application usually gives on the full instructions to do things like trim, resize, or adjust using filters, to an image. That's why I recommend, give it a try with one image. After that you can then work on some way to do this with all the intended files you wish to transform.
Thanks for your comments and input. Yes, I have been in the IT industry since 1974 with Fortran, Assembly etc... You can guess my age now. But, since I engaged with Windows GUI, I am comfortable with it and in my daily activity design and deploy web sites - all GUI.

I adopted the Converseen package for now.

Cheers

convert is your tool to use, part of imagemagick.
It can do virtually everything, as the man pages say:
Code:
 convert  -  convert  between  image formats as well as resize an image,
       blur, crop, despeckle, dither, draw on, flip, join, re-sample, and much
       more.
Just try it

Sounds good, but how can I get it? Where?

Convert is part of imagemagick. If you have imagemagick, you should also have convert.

I found this link, but it offers only source that needs to be compiled. Is there a .Deb file somewhere?

https://www.tecmint.com/install-imag...debian-ubuntu/

Try https://tecadmin.net/install-imagemagick-on-linux/ instead.
Code:
sudo apt install imagemagick
should do the trick. imagemagick is available on Ubuntu and Debian. Admittedly I did not try this on Mint.

I installed ImageMagic following your instructions - all that it has is this image, it has no functionality in it.

In the meantime, I have an app called Converseen - is that what you mean?

Thanks again
Alex

^ As mentioned earlier, you want the "convert" CLI utility.
Also see: https://imagemagick.org/script/comma...processing.php (according to that the CLI utility is actually called "magick", "convert" and "mogrify" are just symlinks to it) and the rest of that site. Lot's of yummy documentation.

So, it is a Terminal CLI option, not a GUI app?

We are going round in circles now.
Good Bye.
