I'm trying to make an index picture of some photos, to have it printed along
with them to have an easy overview.
66 JPEGs, totaling 140MB; most 3400x2300 pixel, some with 1.3 MPixel.
Memory usage goes through the roof.
First try was
$ montage -label %f -background '#fff' -geometry +4+4 -resize 10%
*-*.jpg index.jpg
I'd have believed 140MB * 10% * 10% ~ 1.4MB; maybe times 100 while
uncompressed in memory. Having 512MB real memory I thought that to be
an easy task.
But soon I had to kill that command; top shows
6960 flip 18 0 988m 271m 270m D 11.0 53.9 0:17.30 montage
with all of swap and main memory used.
Next I tried to convert the picture to a smaller size; thinking that it
would then be ok.
$ convert -geometry 100x100 '*-*.jpg'
But that ate all memory, too.
Only way was to do something along
$ for a in *-*.jpg ; do convert $a -geometry 100x100 _$a; done
$ montage -label %f -background '#fff' -geometry +4+4 _* index.jpg
That worked.
BTW, is there a way to tell imagemagick to respect the rotation tag, and
possible sort the images by rotation? So that I get a row of portrait images,
below a row with fewer landscape images, and so on - to fully utilize the
given space?
Thank you.
Regards,
Phil
