    Right I have 250+ photos that all need to be cropped to the same size and converted from 24bit color jpg to a b&w jpg.
    what I'm looking for is a graphics program (be it command line or windows) that will do batch conversions or croppings.
    really really urgent :/
    could do it in my beloved Corel but it seems I'd have to bother to learn Corel-Script which looks horrible to me sad.gif
    thanks n stuff

    Paintshop Pro will batch convert.

    As for the cropping. I don't think PSP does it, however there is a nice program called AutoMate which you can program to do repetitive tasks REALLY easily. Free 30 day workable version as well...

    Just had a quick look in Photoshop 5. It appears to be able to do it under Automate and Fit Image. PSP can't do it (crop I mean), probably will in v6.

    HTH!

    Like I said...

    Try Jasc's Image Robot. You can create image manipulation macros very easily using it.

    Or, you could use Photoshop's actions, though I've never tried somthing like that with it...

    But try Image Robot first. I'm sure you can download an evaluation copy from the Jasc site.

    There U go.

    Paint Shop Pro will batch convert between image types. However, I don't know of any product that will do the cropping as a batch operation.

    Paintshop Pro can Crop.

    Two ways using Automate. Use the mouse movement options to select the area and do a crop to selection.


    The other way is to work out the cropping zone and set it in the Canvas size option.

    Im after doin it a few days ago crop (in the same area of them) and converting in photoshop. In the actions dialogue box u can prgramme macros... ihad like ctrl+s or summat and it did it for each picture. Corel Photopaint can do all pictures at once with its batch thingy too. Paint Shop Pro is free though and as valid as any. Basically nearly all programmes do it no adays..... now im rambling.....STFU!
