How to resize my pictures

Asked by Beroe7

I need a software to adapt, decrease, the size of an image. I want to put my photo's on a disc, but they don't fit in it.
I used Easy Resize but i'm unable to run in Ubuntu, so i need an alternative.

Thx,
Beroe7

Please use the already installed Applications→Graphics→Gimp Image editor

Hope this helps

you can use gthumb if you like a pretty gui, if you have many pictures you can do it at command line with imagemagick

convert -geometry 320x240 filename output_filename

will change the image 'filename' to 320x240 to create a file named 'output_filename'

you can even change from jpg to png using convert

convert input.jpg output.png

You can even script it with:

for x in $(ls)
do
convert -geometry 320x240 $x new-$x

will create resized files of all the filenames found in the output of ls to be the new size. You can set any size you like. If you have 1 or 2 files to do then use gthumb, if you have many then a gui tool will take FOREVER whras a script will work away while you play on flash games

command line gets things done better =D

Currently, in Lucid alpha3 no longer installed by default Gimp. And Eog or F-Spot does not have any tools to resize an image.
There is a plugin for Eog or F-Spot to do that? Because installing Gimp just for something as trivial does not seem good.
