Command line image conversion and Printing

[Ben Wylie]

I'm looking for a freeware tool which can both convert a wide range of image
files via the command line, and also be able to print the images via the
command line. As far as i can see irfanview and the other common freeware
image software don't have these features via the command line.

Thanks
Ben

ImageMagick has a windows port and you can use 'convert.exe' bundled
with it to convert images from pretty much anything to pretty much
anything else.

Thanks. I shall give it a go.

Is this just a conversion tool, or can you print the images as well?

Cheers,

You can use IrfanView in command line mode.
See help in F1, Index tab, double click on "Command Line Options"

Example for convert:
i_view32.exe c:\*.jpg /resample=(500,300) /convert=d:\temp\*.png

Example for print:
i_view32.exe c:\*.jpg /print
Print all JPGs from "C:\" and close IrfanView.
