Recently I ended up in having high quality images for an event with the total size of 4.5 GB. Transferring that to Tablet was itself a pain and I was loosing precious space on my 64 GB Android Tablet.
Better way was to resize the image to the screen area, I needed a batch tool to do so. On Mac the best way was ImageMagick.
It comes with a batch tool, and using that was a piece of cake. Install ImageMagick from binary distribution or through Darwin port.
And launch the batch resizing by:
I had JPEG images and my tablet resolution was 1280x800. Mogrify maintains the aspect ratio and best fit image is generated. Ran quite good on my mac core i7.
The result, I cud trim the folder size of 4.5 GB to 438 MB, transferred all the files to my tablet in 15 minutes than 3 hrs! Quality remains the same unless one zooms in :)
