Resize images in directory

Question

I have a directory full of images that I would like to resize to around 60% of their original size.

How would I go about doing this? Can be in either Python or Perl

Answer 1

I use Python with PIL (Python Image Library). Of course there are specialized programs to do this.

Many people use PIL to such things. Look at: Quick image resizing with python

PIL is very powerful and recently I have found this recipe: Putting watermark to images in batch
