After my nifty copied-from-somewhere script did its job converting NEFs to JPEGs, the job is pretty much done done. But I want to inflict more sufferings to the world by uploading the pictures to more social media in addition to this blog. I figure maybe I should downsize the pictures more so I can upload them faster to Instagram--the destination for what I have for lunch. Hence the below nifty script I copied and modified from somewhere ...
mogrify -resize 40% -unsharp 0x6+0.5+0 *.jpgThis resizes the files to 40% of the original and sharpen the pictures. Sounds good enough for me.
Here comes the more difficult part.
The above were done on my cheapo Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. It's an adequate machine until you need to talk to iPhone for example.
Anyway to make a short story long. Here is what I have been doing. I make the folders where my downnsized JPEGs sharable. I copy those downsized files to my Windows machine which is installed with Instagram within Bluestacks which is forever in beta and rightly so as it's quite unstable but not to the extent that's totally unusable. But it has its fair amount of glitches. My recent New York Fashion Week Fall 2014 #nyfw, #nyc pictures are almost all done in this fashion. http://instagram.com/laichungleung--post from the Instagram within Bludstacks on the Windows 7 machine.
That's all folks.
