batch processing with whiteboard script

Post by sj29 »

Hi,
I recently found a great script on http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/ called whiteboard.
It works fine but only with one picture at a time, so 500 photos would take me quite a while.
Any idea how to fix this?
when I try "bash whiteboard *.jpg *.tif" it only rewrites the image below the first one.

Many thanks for help

Sorry my script is only designed to process one image at a time.

The only way to handle this is to write a shell script to loop over your images and feed them to the script within the loop.

Changing the script to handle more images would not affect the speed significantly as I would have to build the same loop into the script.

Furthermore, it is not clear that one set of parameters will process every image appropriately.
