Basic bash scripting help?

[Nixie Pixel]

Hi, I'm trying to use imagemagick to convert a bunch of .jpg files with custom color profiles to .png files without the pesky custom profiles. I believe the command I want is convert x.jpg x.png
(where x is the name of the file,a numerical value from 001.jpg to 4500.jpg).

Since there are so many files I want to write a bash script to do this, but I suck at writing in any sort of pseudo-programming language, so I was hoping for some basic pointers on how to repeat this command for each file.

Thanks!

If all the pic are in the same folder you could try something like this (untested (and im new to bash scripting so this might not work ) )

# change to the folder where your pics are
cd '/folder/pics/are/in';

# loop through the folder
for img in *.jpg; 
do

# replace the file extension attached to $img with "nothing" (so to create the .png file name correctly)
newName=${img/.jpg/}; 

convert "$img $newName.png";

done

'done' is part of the code, not a personal comment

Here's another one just in case you want an alternative, you need to cd to the directory contianing your .jpg images first,

for f in *.jpg; do mv "$f" "${f%.jpg}.png"; done

EDIT: It's actually pretty much the same command, just condensed a bit. Probably I shouldn't have intruded, sorry for my rudeness.
