First : Perk, sorry I don't know where to put this topic so I've put it here ! You can move it where you want 

Second :

Is there a tool or a script that can resize 100 images to one specified width automatically ?

The images should be resized to a specified width but should retain their look !

Anybody ?

BIG
Thanks

I just did this a bit ago with GD and PHP. Look up the functions for GD and then google Resize Image GD PHP and you'll be able to follow the same path I did.

I was not entirely impressed with the resize. If I went in even increments (-50% etc) it was reasonable, but as soon as I did some different resizing, artifacts and fuzziness started to get bad.

For images that I really needed to look good I wound up creating a workflow in Adobe and hiring my daughter to do it.

libmagick would do you as well.

Doesn't that cost, for the real version VS? I thought I looked at that a couple years ago and it had a price tag... as I recall tho, it looked really good.

Also, as an edit: if you search here for it (it was only a few weeks ago) Nop posted how to use GD in Python and it seems that his access to different rescanning methods was better than in PHP, so if you are willing to use another language, you may get better results from gd.

I'm willing do it the best way ... I don't give it much about quality ! I just want to do it automatically and to leave gimp alone for few weeks !

I'm searching now how to install python on linux 

[nop_90]

for python u use this lib
http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/
If is much easier to use

There is a GD binding for python kiking arround i think (i have never used it)
PIL is the easier to use

thanks nop ! I've just clicked on your last post and saw that you've posted here

Since I'm a n00b in python could you tell me please where should I copy this library ? in usr/bin ?

Poppycock! Why would I recommend payware?

Agreed it didn't make sense... I must be thinking of another lib I was investigating a few years back.

I'm going to give that (and iMagick and MagickWand) a look see... and preference of the two for extensions?

[vsloathe]

MagickWand is a bit more OO. I used them both, imagick calls sometimes return an object that is a MagickWand "wand".

@NYDAz
You do not need to copy it anywhere.
Depending on ur linux distro if i remember correctly on ubuntu (and probably same with debian) you can install it from distutils.
(that is how i installed mine)
Also with ubuntu the binaries are most of the time also same version as source, unlike crap hat and other distros where they are like 400 years out of date.

Ussually for python libs.
Read the readme
But almost all python libs/packages they come with the distutils.
So inside the root directory there is a file call setup.py
a
"python setup.py build"  and then
"sudo python setup.py install" you have to be root
installs it where it supposed to go.

PIL is an exception but most other python packages are distributed with "easy_install" (same idea as ruby gems).
so you just go "sudo easy_install package" and it will DL it off the net, compile it and install.
Even better it will find all the dependency packages and install them also.
You can also use easy_install to install into a user directory.

On the first page of the docs there is an example on how to make thumbnails from a directory

Last time I needed that was when I was still doing pr0n. Anyway...
Photoshop>file>automate>batch
I think that did the trick.
