catalog generation for various sized images

Post by xpt »

Hi,

I have a bunch of various sized images that I want to generate catalog files using montage. Previously when I was using montage, I resized all my images to same height, which make it easy to arrange them. Now these images that I now have are small enough that they don't need to be resized, however, they are of same height, but different width.

Any easy way to layout such small images nicely in the catalog file?

Thanks

better to have different heights rather than different widths (though it probably should not matter in montage as montage will space them out into a nice grid format). see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/montage/#vid

you can use -geometry to resize the image to the same size (or width) while doing the montage. see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/montage/#geometry_size

I found out that, actually montage automatically resize the images for me while putting them into the grid.

Thanks
