Image mirrored

Postby Ildebrando » Fri Mar 13, 2009 3:45 am

Hi, I write because i am looking for a program that imports in mass simple images (jpeg, bmp etc) and creates for each of them an image 4 times bigger, composed by the original image copied and mirrored.

Let me explain: in the final image, in the top left there is the original image, in the top right the original image mirrored by the vertical axis and in the bottom these 2 images mirrored by the horizontal axis.

Do you know a program that do this, apart from photoshop?

I don't want to install photoshop because I already use fireworks for all the common graphical operations.

Thank you

I'm sure you could write some kind of scrip to do it with Inkscape. I have no idea how but I'm sure you could.

I'm not sure if exactly your example can be done using the command line but it's worth to investigate

this is so simple to just do, why go to the trouble of automating it?

If you're working on a heap of files and need batch conversion then you could try Irfanview, which is free and small in terms of hard drive space. In File --> Batch conversion choose your folder of images and tick the box so you can into the Advanced dialog window. In there you'll find some flip/rotate options that should do the trick.

imagemagick will do it..and then some. it's the swiss-army knife for image files using the command line.
