Remove Invalid characters in Filename.

Sometimes I end up having some invalid characters in filename like ? & and so on.

So simple bash script to get rid of them:

for i in `find . -type f`
do
echo $i
mv $i `echo $i |tr ? _|tr = _ |tr ’&’ ’_’`
done <a name="more">

Nifty Things to Do with GIMP

2009-12-26 1 min read Linux Photo

Nifty Things to Do with GIMP Some of us are probably addicted to capturing moments in pictures. I can understand why. It’s one of those things that help us go back to the good old days, so to speak. It’s also something that creates a ‘time machine’ for us because those pictures show us what things looked like, not just remind us of the feeling but give us the atmosphere all over again.

Adding dates to your photos.

Add date in the photograph with a perl script.

#!/usr/bin/perl

if ($#ARGV < 0 )
{
print ”$#ARGV \n”;
print ”Usage $ARGV[0] filename/dir\n”;
exit -1;
}

@files = `find ”$ARGV[0]” -iname ”*jpg” -print`;

if ($#ARGV > 3 ) { $cmd = 1;}
$count = 1;
foreach $file (@files) {
chomp ($file);

Add border to images from command line using montage.

Adding a border to the images from command line is quite simple. But if you have couple of images in a directory that you want to add border to then it may become quite painful 🙂

So what is the solution. You can simply use a one liner to do the job for you.

for i in *.jpg; do montage -geometry 720×576 -background black -quality 100 $i conv-$i; done
