Mass conversion Poeticy
Is there an openshare program that allows you to do a mass conversion from TIFF to JPEGS. I had someone scan a bunch of slides for me, and they saved them as TIFFS and they are HUGE! I'm looking for a program that will convert them all for me. It takes 5 minutes to open one TIFF file. It's ridiculous.

Dunno if it'll help you with Windows, but I use Imagemagick under Linux for that sort of thing.

What operating system do you use? Also, make sure you keep the TIFFs as a backup.

I found that one too, but wasn't sure if it does mass conversion.

Out of curiosity what scanner did this person use and how much if any did he/she charge? I have a Nikon LS-5000 that I'm using to convert thousands of family slides and I was thinking about using it to make some money on the side when I'm done.

I'm running Windows. It's just taking forever to convert them in Photoshop.

Don't know. They did it as a favor for me. So, free. I work in a Photo lab that can't scan slides, and a lot of people want us to do it. I'm sure there is money in it somewhere.
Nope, doesn't do mass conversion. Fail.>>102529

Does.

I gave you the exact ImageMagick command to do a mass convert/resize, too.

Will try again.

How do I put in all the file names I want converted with this command prompt? I've never done anything like this before (with command prompts/code).

*.TIF

>>102847
File name
PHOTOHOUSE1.tiff
PHOTOHOUSE2.tiff
PHOTOHOUSE3.tiff

Command would be:
mogrify -format jpeg -resize 1024x768 -size 1024x768 *PHOTOHOUSE1.tiff,PHOTOHOUSE2.tiff,PHOTOHOUSE3.tiff
?

Call me stupid, but I'm not really sure how to do this.
>> ac !!VPzQAxYPAMA
>>102853
mogrify -format jpeg -resize 1024x768 -size 1024x768 *.tiff

The '*' means 'Any characters'. So '*.tiff' means 'Any filename ending in .tiff'

Or you could do PHOTOHOUSE*.tiff (or PHOTOHOUSE?.tiff. The '?' matches exactly one character) if there are other .tiff files in the directory that you don't want to convert.

or you could use any of xnview's wonderful programs, specifically Nconvert.

in fact, everyone should use xnview. it's basically an open-source ACDSee. better than picasa (or probably aperture, for that matter) and it's fukken free. god i love the internet.

If command lines are not your thing, you should try IrfanView.

www.irfanview.com

Does conversions between a lot of graphic formats. Also has some very handy batch handling tools, and an easy to use interface. Benn around for about 10 years. Really worthwhile. Tiny exe as well.

I would also suggest this: http://www.faststone.org/
Does some batch processing better than IrfanView.

TIFF > JPEG any time, even if it takes hours to open.

Everytime you save a JPEG it fucks the image up a little more.

I'm torn between the knowledge that I shouldn't feed this troll and the desire to feed this troll...

Ended up using a program called PhotoElf. Saved SOOOO Much time!
