I have a few scripts that do things like this. I think that Gimp could theoretically be used in Batch mode for something like this, but that seems to me like swatting flies with a sledgehammer... There is a utility that comes with ImageMagick called 'convert'. (Read the manpage ...). To solve your particular problem... (I assume you're using bash. If not, your mileage may vary.) cd /home/kati/originals for i in *.tif do convert -quality 40 -sample 150x100 $i ../processed/`basename $i .tif`.jpg; done Just type that on the command-line and you should be ready to go. If any Gimp wizards know how to do this with the Gimp, please let me know! I could never find concise documentation, pointers to some would be appreciated, for more complex image processing like applying filters. Hope this is helpful, --glyph
