Thanks much, guys. It worked fine. That imagemagick package is a lot of tool for a minimum job, but it works. Slackware used to ship with a program called "seejpeg" but I don't see anything like that in the Debian world. Lots of other small converters out there though. I understand about lossy compression of images, and will not do these conversions any more often than absolutely necessary. Thanks again.
