Batch converting photos using Imagemagick

Our store has a 7-inch photo frame, with a 2GB stick in it. So we can just drag-and-drop lots of photos onto the stick. But how can we use Imagemagick, the command-line photo editor, to batch-resize a whole bunch of images...perhaps as part of a script? Heres one way to resize a single photo: $ mogrify -sample 480 foldername/filename.jpg Heres one way to resize a whole directory of files from 4000 x 3000 to 400 x 300. $ mogrify -sample 400 foldername/*.jpg This resizes the original(s). Making copies (before the resize) is a separate command: $ mkdir copies $ cp original/image.jpg copies/ $ mogrify -sample 400 copies/image.jpg $ mv copies/image.jpg stick/
