Lab

1. Download sample image file: http://ella.slis.indiana.edu/~jawalsh/teaching/z652/sample_images.zip
2. Run some imagemagick commands to convert your tiff files to 3 different sizes of jpg files:
   • a “large” file that is 1000 pixels long on its longest side
   • a “medium” file that 500 pixels long on its longest side
   • a “thumbnail” file that is 200 pixels long on its longest side
3. Use imagemagick to rotate the rotate_left.tiff and rotate_right.tiff images.

5. Spend a few minutes experimenting with the commands above, then review the documentation at https://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-processing.php and https://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-tools.php and explore some commands on your own. You might also try searching the internet for things like “imagemagick watermark” for instructions on how to use imagemagick to put a watermark on your images. Or try one of these short tutorials:
