Merge images side by side from two folders with the same name

[jarrao]

Sorry for noob question but im just starting with imagemagick.
I have two folders with ".jpg" files , "folder1" and "folder2"
I want imagemagick to merge all the files with the same name and create a new ".jpg" on "folder3" or wathever.

Folder1



Folder2



Folder3

What version of IM? What script language (eg bash, or Windows BAT)?

How many images, at what size? Are corresponding images the same size?

Hi , thanks for the quick replay:

I have installed "ImageMagick-6.9.2-Q16" on "Windows 8.1 x64"

Maybe I have between 200 or 300 images on each folder.
The size on each folder is exactly the same , I mean "400x300px" on "folder1" for all the jpgs, "200x300px" on "folder2" for all the jpgs and then should be "600x300" on "folder3"

Then it's the same answer as I gave in a recent thread (but I can't find). Windows BAT script:

Code: Select all

for %%F in (folder1\*.jpg) do convert folder1\%%~nF.jpg folder2\%%~nF.jpg +append folder3\%%~nF.jpg

There are other methods that read all the inputs in a single command, so may be faster, but they are more complex.

Thanks again , so... as I want to learn how imagemagick works , what about if I want to create a composition setting a png on the right , named like the other two jpgs?
I mean "folder1" , "folder2" and a new "folder3" with "pngs" maybe with "150x50px" (the name of the pngs is the same of the folder 1 , and folder 2).
And create something like this on a "folder4"

A "-compose over" can do that.
