Hi Wayne, I tried your way and converted all the image with quality 25. You are right, I couldn't notice any perceptual difference at normal size. The different is noticable only if you magnify the image. I had a total of 14 images of size 2272x1704 (taken by a 4 megapixel digital camera). I reduced them in size (682x511 pixels; or to 30%) and their quality (to 25). The reduced size images were taking a total of 2.7 MB at default quality. But by using quality 25, the disk space usage reduced to 0.608 MB! This is a great improvement. (I am still getting progressive jpegs as the output.) Here is the command I used to do the conversion (it is a one long line): $> for f in *.jpg; do echo "$f"; bn=`basename "$f" .jpg`; convert -resize 30% -quality 25 -interlace plane "$f" ${bn}-small.jpg; done Thanks, ->HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
