Have you tried using the -size hint with convert? From the man page: To make a thumbnail of a JPEG image, use: convert -size 120x120 cockatoo.jpg -resize 120x120 +profile "*" thumbnail.jpg In this example, '-size 120x120' gives a hint to the JPEG decoder that the image is going to be downscaled to 120x120, allowing it to run faster by avoiding returning full-resolution images to ImageMagick for the subsequent resizing operation. -- Blast you and your estrogenical treachery! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
