I accidentally discovered 'convert'. It is a command line utility. Changing a file from png to gif works like this
convert aaa.png aaa.gif
Amazingly simple, powerful and effective.
I've since discovered it has an amazing list of options
convert --help
a manual
file:///usr/share/doc/ImageMagick-6.2.8/www/convert.html
and a web site
Does anyone have suggestions for a GUI which works for Centos 5.6 ? In production I run the command line program from PHP with 'exec'.
ImageMagick includes its own GUI:
man display
And see:
man ImageMagick
for a complete list of ImageMagick programs.
The GUI is rather basic -- it is not meant as a anything like a replacement for the likes of GIMP or xv or any of the other other image display and manipulation programs out there. ImageMagick is meant to be a *CLI* workhorse.
Thank you,
Paul.
Currently automatically, rotating when necessary, downsizing photographs to 900 pixels wide (the software calculates the height) and labelling them with the file reference and photograph date - all in one quick operation. Mind boggling options, more than I've ever seen in similar software.
Really amazed :-)
