↳ In-reply-to » Just now a mate told me, that ImageMagick has a -strip parameter. Now my preview images are only half as big in file size. Awesome! You can see it here: https://lyse.isobeef.org/kaulquappen-2021-06-04/ No, this is not an oil spill.

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net That’s an interesting observation, that the source image is even smaller! Your workflow seems overly complicated to me. Isn’t there a resize option in this image viewer? Maybe get yourself a proper image viewer. When I was on Windows decades ago I used Irfanview, not sure whether this still exists. As for dedicated image editing in a GUI, I can recommend GIMP. I reckon ImageMagick is availabe on Windows as well, you could easily automate resizing with it in a script if you have the courage to use the command line: convert -resize 400x300 -strip -quality 50 ORIGINAL.JPG RESIZED.JPG is what I use.
