Image Size Reduction Software

[buzz]

Kind of expensive choice to resize some images.

could get a port of imagemagick off aminet (commandline)

what formats are you working with and are you wanting to thumbnail them or manually (graphically) crop/resize ?

for "automated" image processing I still like ports of commandline tools like imagemagick. a bit bulky for amiga apps, but very powerful.

here's an image i generated back in 2000 on an a1200/030 and vmm (needs ~110mb of ram for the raw 24 bit data)

It was created on an a1200/030 with 10 meg of ram and 1gig of
virtual memory using the latest version of the great
image manipulation software ImageMagick.

the image: http://aminet.net/pix/misc/ExoMontage-L.jpg

(warning - 11mb jpg - ~ 2000px x 18000px)

not a sensible thing to do really, but it was a sort of experiment, and the final result is quite nice to look at. i should think the same image could be generated on a modern pc in a few seconds/mins ;-)

your included Sentry.png was a little bigger (50x52).

original


yours


some resizes with imagemagick (that I have handy on this pc)

(Adaptive Resize)


(resize - point filter)


(resize - Lagrange order 3 filter)


(resize - Lagrange order 4 filter)


(resize - lanczos filter)


(resize - mitchell)


there are other filters / options to scale too http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/resize/ and you could do other processing to improve it

Anyhow, if you could possibly shrink down one of the other models to fit within the specs I mentioned, I'll REALLY be impressed! I always ended up with a bunch of blocks that hardly resembled the original model.

Once you have viewed em on a decent screen, let me know if you prefer any of my scaling ones from yours and if so ill do the resize (please give me a list of sizes for each image as I wasnt sure about the size you wanted for some of them)

Cheers.
