[Gimp-user] Image transformation batch processing
G'day, I have many directories of images, totaling more than 5000 images in total. Each image might be in a jpg, gif or png file format. I want to change all images to have a 1:1 aspect ratio, on a white background. I want no image to exceed 1000 x 1000 pixels at 72 dpi. Images already within the 1000x1000 limit should be extended to have a 1:1 aspect ratio, as required. At no point is any image scaled upwards in size. All images should be saved in a suitably compressed way for displaying on web sites. The new images should be written into a sub-directory, with the original images being left in place and unchanged. Would like to do this as a single batch process, if needs be per directory. Here are some examples as to what should happen: 1200x1200: Image re-sized to 1000x1000. Save compressed. 1600x1200: Image re-sized to 1000x750. Then extended to 1000x1000, centred on a white background. Save compressed. 1200x1600: Image re-sized to 750x1000. Then extended to 1000x1000, centred on a white background. Save compressed. 750x750: Save compressed. 800x600: Image extended to 800x800, centred on a white background. Save compressed. 600x800: Image extended to 800x800, centred on a white background. Save compressed. Is it possible to achieve the above using Gimp? If so, how? If not, can you please recommend a image processing tool that can do this?

OK so I have uninstalled this program and installed it AGAIN. Where exactly are you downloading GIMP from? Which exact version? Please paste the exact and full URL. Is this on a GNU/Linux™ system? Or Microsoft Windows? or the Mac? or what? Which exact version? Is it a 32-bit or a 64-bit computer? How are you running GIMP exactly? It is difficult even to begin to answer your questions without such detail. GIMP does work for a great many people, unless you use one of the fake or bad download sites, or download the wrong version for your operating system, for example. I go and open a 800X600 image and still force closes. IDK what is going on with this but I dont know what to do either. Does GIMP open by itself with no image? If you send me a copy of the image (or the URL where I can download it, if that's an option) I can look at it. If you are on a Linux or Unix system (including OS X) the terminal command $ file the-image.jpg (or whatever the file is called) may tell you the image format; if it doesn't match the filename's extension, you may need to rename it, or tell GIMP the file format in the Open dialogue box. Liam I don't know if it is easier to get help from a GIMP creator but do they come out here? If so please email me at kristen6...@gmail.com I have tried to open the gimp program again and till crashing. I would LOVE to talk to someone that is the creator or someone VERY VERY knowledgeable about gimp. Anyways IDK if this message is going to get any of you or be posted on that thread I made but if you could send me the link to my thread I'd appreciate that.
