Hi Mark,
Early in the thread I suggested using Darktable to resize your jpgs from
your Nokia. And at that stage your reply was that you thought it would
not resize them as your input files were also jpg. Well I found the time
to try it out tonight when I had to resize a rather large proof for
uploading, and it does a fantastic job of resizing a jpg. And with its
ability to handle batch processing you could knock the whole lot over
quite quickly. I found that the the "quality" setting for the jpg was
the greatest controller of file size and in the end I settled on 2000 x
1500 px at 95% quality for 660 Kb wheras at 90% the size was a bit over
200Kb, there is also a switch to prevent up-scaling. So, if you loaded
all your shots into Darktable, nominated your folder for export, set the
size and quality, hit Ctrl+ A, and then the export button, in no time
flat (depending on RAM and CPU) you will have your result.
Cheers
Andrew Greig
