Resize a bunch of tiff files to 865x585 and convert them to pngs. Used to convert screenshots to a good size for 1024x768 presentation slides.
#!/bin/bash
files=`find . -name '*.tiff'`
for f in $files
do
dir=`dirname $f`
target=`basename -s .tiff $f`
convert $f -resize 865x585 ${dir}/${target}_865x585.png
echo ${dir}/${target}_865x585.png
done
