[16:04] im soo sore [19:42] I have several photo applicaitons. Which will be able to change X x Y pixels to 460 x 284 pixels ? A ImageMagick, B gimp, C Shotwell viewer, D. Shutter, E. FireFox [19:43] I know one of the non gimp ones did, but I cant find the process to do it now. [19:50] i just use gimp, cuz its the only one i know how to use and it can do everything ive needed [19:52] imagemagic can do it === pvl1_ is now known as pvl1 [20:23] imagemagick can do it, and since it's a command like tool it can be easily scripted [20:35] I just did this with imagemagick [20:36] If you're comfortable with the command line, you can do that easily with imagemagick. [20:37] actually today I've been writing a new little image cropping tool. in matlab. :( [20:37] Wow, that sound better than doing gui messing around with each one. [20:37] http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-processing.php [20:38] Just when I was about to ask, you answered first. [20:38] look for "Inline Image Resize" [20:38] Thanks ! [20:39] my cropper is cropping the black edges from stem cell images [20:41] We have a C++ program that does that, but it was proving to be too hard to maintain. [20:42] an auto cropper ? Or do you get to control what part gets selected ? [20:42] It's an auto cropper. [20:44] Do your images all have 'boring' borders that are easily cropped by an algorithm without loosing anything important ? [20:44] I converted 543 lines of C++ into 53 lines of matlab :) [20:44] It's really only the ones from the biologists I deal with. [20:45] It's a sharp enough border that you can find it automatically. [20:45] So, its very predictable what can be cropped from the collections ? [20:45] The guts of the script is only like 5 lines of code. [20:46] from the collections? [20:46] Not so easy with people / scenery pictures. [20:46] These are time lapse movies. There are several thousand images, but they're all extremely similar. [20:47] though this technique would probably work for any pictures with a solid black border. [20:48] a video cropper, spiffy. [20:48] They're similar enough that I only have to find the crop region on the first image, and then I can use it for everything. [20:48] The actual cropping is 2 lines of matlab. [20:50] There's more code to loop over the directory than there is to do the cropping [20:50] Now I'm done croppng, brighness & contrast boosting, and rescaling to 460x approx 284. For the moment, until I have more to do another day. [20:55] Umm, how to enter ImageMagick command line mode ? (and quit too) [21:08] InHisName: If you've installed it from ubuntu, you should just have to run convert(1) from a shell prompt. [21:10] s/from\ ubuntu// [21:11] e.g.: [21:11] [bts@workhorse ~]$ convert --version [21:11] Version: ImageMagick 6.8.8-7 Q16 x86_64 2014-02-18 http://www.imagemagick.org [21:11] Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2014 ImageMagick Studio LLC [21:11] Features: DPC HDRI Modules OpenCL OpenMP [21:11] Delegates: bzlib cairo fontconfig freetype gslib jng jpeg lcms lqr ltdl lzma openexr pangocairo png ps rsvg tiff webp wmf x xml zlib [21:12] InHisName: might help to check out http://www.slideshare.net/bbbart/getting-started-with-imagemagick unless you're trying to do something more advanced
