Image manipulation on a rack ?
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Im a Linux / Rack newbie, so unsure of what software is installed by default.
I would like to be able to resize all images in a directory on my rack. Many images are around 300k, but I would like to resize them to take around 100k.
Is there an easy way to do this or do i need third party software on my rack ?
I have seen quite a few programs that use Imagemagic but from some other posts this doesnt seem to be a good solution.
Any ideas (hopefully constructive ones)?

Yeah, it would be much easier if you resized your images on your own PC (assuming you are running Windows).
Something similar to Macromedia Fireworks (which I also use) is GIMP (although I'm not sure it will fit your purposes).

There is very little skill in resizing the images on my own PC
The best program in my opinion for mass resizing images is actually thumbnailer by www.smalleranimals.com
The problem is in downloading over 3,000 images, thumbnailing them and then having to reupload them.
There are quite a few scripts out there that let you build entire thumbnail galleries, but none that resize images intelligently (that I have found so far).
Also not sure what libraries are on the rack in the first place that I can use to manioulate images.

Aloha
yikes 3000 images yeah that would be a bit of time
you do not have em locally ????
unless ya did some kind of JS thing that would only show a % but teh size would still be there
ya could use night time to reup and redown your images
sorry can not be of more help for the online script thing
ya check out hotscripts under images or something ???
if ya had a win2k box ya could try this
http://www.aspupload.com/aspjpeg.html
do not think it will work with the raq asp though
but check it out anywayAloha, Chad
