what is the difference between


/usr/bin/convert -geometry 400x300 1.gif 2.gif

/usr/bin/convert -resize 400x300 1.gif 2.gif


seems geometry can also do the resize job?

thanks.

-resize is newer. In a simple example like yours it does not make much difference, but in a more complicated command it expresses more precisely which image is to be resized and when.

Also read in images BEFORE operating on them, or you will have problems as your examples get more complex.
