Business needs to take pictures and add them to a database. Need to resize and reduce quality to save disk space. Want this to happen automaticly.
Going to use an Android tablet.
User takes picture that is set to save in a folder that is synced with google drive.
The lowest resolution on Tablet is 2048x1152 produces about a 1 MB jpeg.
I now want to reduce resolution to a Monitor View quality and reduced file size no printing needed. Get the picture size as small as possible to take up less disk space.
So I have a PC that periodically checks for any pictures showing up on drive and in specific folder using a script and schedule task.
If it finds pictures I wish to have it redo the resolution and then save the new picture in a different folder. Then I have not decided if to delete original or move it to another folder local to PC that will be set to retain images for 7 days and then delete. I can handle that script/task.
Can ImageMagick do this?
