I need help writing a script

[Stuffstuff1]

Im entering information for my company and i have a lot of stuff i need to do a lot of photo editing.


Basically i need to change the size of the canvas so that the image is square (Ex 500x500 from 500x458). Height = Width

after i change the canvas the layer needs to be centered

After that the file needs to be saved-as. (Assuming it already had the name 1234) to 1234_Zoom.jpg

Then the image needs to be scaled to 270 x 270 and saved-as 1234_Detail.jpg

last it needs to be scaled again to 138x138 amd saved as 1234_Thumb.Jpg


can this be easily scripted to automate the process? If it takes me about 2 Minutes to do all the work above and i need to repeat it 800 more times.. i think i might be better off making a script.

You really want to use ImageMagick in your script. Then you launch the script over your 800 pictures, have a coffee, and done. Are all pics guaranteed to be smaller than 500x500 originally? Is this for Windows, OSX or Linux?

Windows.


They can be any size. Just as long as i can make them a square with out distorting them its ok.


Ill look at the link and come back
