Create low resolution image

[ssp]

Hi,

I have high resolution images that I need to convert to low resolutions images without affecting the print size of the images. I use those images as FPO (For Position Only) in my desktop publishing application. I am using convert -resample 72 command and it does create low resolution image but when I place that image in DTP application the real estate (width and height) of those images is not same (way smaller) as the original image.

Is there way to achieve this using convert or any other command?

Thanks in advance.

What happens if you use:

Code: Select all

convert input.jpg -quality 50 output.jpg

You could add -strip as well to reduce the file size:

Code: Select all

convert input.jpg -strip -quality 50 output.jpg
