You're image size really depends on how much size you want to save I guess, although also if you're willing to have some non-visible pixel lose you could convert them as well. You can start playing around with 2048x1536 or similar just keep in mind your aspect ratio.

Here's the for loop I use for creating thumbnails, use as needed:

for i in `find "$LOCDIR" -iname "*hqw*"`

do

  echo "$i"

  TN=`echo "$i" | sed 's/hqw/tn/'`

    echo "creating thumbmail for "$i" ..."

    /usr/bin/convert -resize 200x200 "$i" -background none -gravity center "$TN"

done

Hi,

I have about 9GB of photos.  These images are 2560 X 1920 and are roughly 2mb each.  I assume I could get away with a much smaller image.

What size should I reduce these to?

During my research most suggest using ImageMagick from the command line.  Is this the best practice?

I'm sure I will want to use some type of script since I do not want to do this one by one.

Thanks in advance for your help!!
