Cannot Resize to 150

[Lanny]

I just installed ImageMagick 5.4.2 on AIX. I wanted to resize 14000 jpgs to a max size of 150 along the larger side. No matter what I try, the sizes vary and I cannot achieve the 150 - I get, for example 253x360.
I used
mogrify -size 150 *.jpg

Any reading suggestions or advice appreciated.

I'm not an IM expert, but what people will certainly tell you is that you should always use the most current version.

Aside of that, you could try

Code: Select all

mogrify -resize 150x150 *.jpg

After all, I suppose IM will want to know if you are referring to width or height.

Thank you for your response and advice, which I will follow.
