Imagemagick: tiff to jpg

[Wardazo]

Hi

I'm trying to batch covert with perlmagick, but I don't even seem to be able to manage it on the command line!!

mogrify -format jpg -quality 70 -resize 300x300 file.tif

When I do this sure enough the image converts to jpg, shrinks to 300 by 300 but it's over one megabite in size on the disk; however, it's current memory size is about 50kb when I open it.

What am I doing wrong?

It Ubuntu 6.06 server edition

mm i know this

convert -resize 800x600 -quality value INPUT.any OUTPUT,jpeg

Yes that should work, but with a 30mb .tif file I get a almost a 2mb jpg file using that command.

It's a different problem, I think related to large tif files... but I'm not really sure.

Thanks though.

Any other suggestions?

SOLUTION: use the -strip flag

Just in case anyone has the same problem.

You can also use Phatch for this:
