Batch Resize Images with Gimp
Most digital cameras nowadays, have resolutions that are far bigger than the normal monitor screen size. On average most point-and-shoot digital cameras have resolution anywhere from 3 megapixels to 10 megapixels. Most monitors these days have resolution of either 1024×768 or the slightly larger 1280×1024 pixels.
If you ever need to upload pictures online to a gallery or to a webpage, you will need to resize your images to fit the screen as well as reduce the image size. If you use Gimp, an image manipulation program, you can use David’s Batch Processor, a Gimp plugin to manage the resizing of multiple images in a single command.
To download the Batch Processor, open your Synaptic Package Manager located under System > Administration. Search for “Gimp Batch” and the result will give you “gimp-plugin-registry.” Install the package. You may need to supply the admin password to continue.
Start Gimp. Access the batch file plugin via the Xtns > Batch Process menu.
You can select a single file or multiple images for our purposes here in this article. Just click over to the Resize tab and choose resize aspect ratio or set the absolute width and height. Click Start to begin the batch process.
So, the next time you have to resize multiple images. Use the Gimp’s Batch Processor, a batch plugin that is capable of resizing multiple images in just a few clicks.
huh …. hmmm … ive heard arguments that gimp rivals photoshop … I seriously doubt that but this type of functionality has been present in Adobe products for sometime.
I can’t afford CS3. Gimp is free. I’ve been extremely happy with Gimp. It may not be as mature as CS3, but for the price. I’ll take it any day. Updates are free, too.
gimp totally rivals photoshop in every way, at least for those of us with a tablet who actually draw, and don’t need to rely on Alien Skin eye candy plugins. In fact, I prefer drawing/painting/digital airbrushing in gimp over photoshop anyday, have for years now… Batch resizing can be done out of gimp using scripts and imagemagick, but it’s nice sometimes to just point and click
LOL i love it when people assume
If anyone wonders, works in 2.6.0.
