Hi,
suppose I have a number of images that need to be displayed side by side
in a nice layout. The images are of different sizes and have different
aspect ratios.
To fit the images into the layout, I can scale the images either by
height or width or by percantage, and they will look messy in the layout
because I need to keep their aspect ratio when scaling them.
So what I need to do is put a frame around each image just as needed
when scaling it so that I will end up with all the images having the
same size while maintaining their aspect ratio.
I guess 'convert' (from imagemagick) or 'ffmpeg' can do this, yet I
couldn't find out how.
(In this particular case, I would set a default size to scale all images
to rather than doing something more complicated like examine all images
in advance to compute a good size to use from the largest or smallest
one or from their average dimensions.)
Any ideas how to do this?
