Small images on resize

[anthony]

You are using a legacy command line system that waw replaced with the introduction of ImageMagcik version 6.
See IM Examples Basics for details

In summery... command line usage in versions before version 6 was ill-defined and broken, producing numerous odd and unexpected results.

You need to update you script to do...
convert in.jpg -resize 30% out.jpg

The -antialias is the default and does not effect the -resize operator. The -size is specific to JPEG format reading and can not be a percentage (it is probably the cause of your problem).

If you are trying to thumbnail to a specific known size then you can speed up JPEG reading
by adding a -size otpion BEFORE the JPEG filename.

I also recomend you use -thumbnail rather than -resize and it will also include a -strip to remove profiles, and do some scaling of very large images before using the -resize function to finish the job. This can improve performance.

For all the details on thumbnailing image using IM see IM Examples on Thumbnailsing.

If your thumbnail script has something to offer other IM users, please contribute to IM examples.
