Hi all,

I try to find a tool/way to to batch process a directory full of pictures, resizing them and saving them with a new name.

I have only and always 300 dpi tif pictures which have to be resized/ scaled down to 25% of their original size, then the dynamic range has to be checked and eventually changed to min. 0 and max 255 and the dpi has to be set to 75 dpi and the picture has to be saved as tif with a new name to disk.

For now I'm doing that with ADPro for every single file that's why I would like to automate it for a given directory full of pictures.

I had a look but couldn't really find something suitable and I tried to write an arexx script for ADPro to to that but it's to difficult for me.

Perhaps someone has some experience with that, or even has a arexx script for ADPro or some other solution...

Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Regards

Christoph

You could probably make an ARexx script for ADPro to do it (can't help you though, way too many years since I played with ADPro), and most definitely for ImageFX, but you could also use shell tools like the excellent ImageMagick...


- CISC

Well, I'd say netpbm and the SDK.

for i in *.tiff; do tifftopnm $i | pnmscale 0.5 | pnmnorm | pnmtotiff >$i.new; done

That probably does what you want.

You can do this pretty easily with ImageFX. The simple
way is to use the AutoFX tool, select all the frames
you want to process and then just add the effects into
the list. AutoFX will go through and process each one
the way you want, I think the "lite" version of ImageFX
may even work.

Realstar, welcome back

I have been waiting updates to Hypercannon...

I'd like to add to bigfoots answer, a similar approach can work with the "convert" command from ImageMagick. In your script you can

convert -resize 640x480 source.bmp target.jpg

for example.
