Imagemagick Help

[Dusen]

Is there any other factors I can play with when resizing pics to thumbnails that I could use to reduce size of the thumbnail other than -quality ?

I see this density option but..

What is a typical thumbnail density? I don't have photoshop here ..

Help!

If you're looking to get the smallest thumb byte size try,

convert -size 80x80 +profile "*" large.jpg thumb.jpg

This will strip everything out in the file header not needed
for a thumbnail as well as doing the resize.

For some reason the thumbnails get named to .0, .1, .2, .3 etc if I include the profile statement. Could be something in my script, I think.

You'll need to provide me with more info.

The example I gave works great from the command line.

You have to empty out the profile. Some pictures have 20K+ of profile info that ends up in the thumbs. If you are getting abnormally large thumbs, look into that.

Update your Imagemagick package. It's too old.
Just ran into your prob on an old FreeBSD 4.2 server.
