How to resize on a Linux?

Title says it all. I have an image resizer on my computer, but it just takes out 50% of the image.

There are a number of different ways of doing it. Lots of tools. You could get imagemagick. That can do all kinds of things to images from the command line, including resizing.

After installing the package you can type, for instance,

convert -geometry 640x840 picture.jpg smallpicture.jpg

which copies a file called picture.jpg to a file called smallpicture.jpg with a resolution of 640x480 pixels.

The GIMP undoubtedly can do it and probably xv as well. Sadly, I don't have a unix/linux/freebsd box handy on which I could try it.

Cheers,

If you are used to using Windows Paint, I can recommend the Linux clone Kolourpaint, but it doesn't do bulk resizing (just like Paint... which I for some reason keep using )

The Gimp can be a frightening piece of software for a beginner. You need a lot of time to get into it.
