How To Resize multiply images to prefered size

If you want to resize multiply images to a other (smaller) size you can use this command.

It's not recommend to enlarge pictures because that will have a negative effect on the quality of the enlarged image.

time find ./ -maxdepth 1 -iname '*.jpg' -exec convert '{}' -resize 500 '../big/{}' \;

* time: gives you the time the command was busy. This is optional.
* -maxdepth option prevent find to dig lower then 1 dir. (see: man find)

To convert my 12.8 Mega pixel photo's to a acceptale size for uploading to my gaallery I resize all pictures to 2304 pixels on the longest side.

find ./ -type f -iname '*.jpg' -exec convert '{}' -resize 2304 './small/{}' \;
