Looking for the right parameters concerning jpeg output

[mmaier]

Actually we test nConvert as a tool in order to normalize incoming photos before importing the photos into a database system. Our aim is to convert all photos to a standard jpeg-format (baseline) but we want to preserve best the quality of photos which are already in jpeg-format. Also we want to preserve all IPTC and Exif-Info of the photos. What parameters are recommended concerning this requirements? Now our command line looks like this. It is based on an exported batch of XnView. We are not quite sure, whether this parameters lead to the mentioned requirements above:

"C:\Programme\nconvert\nconvert" -npcd 2 -size 256x256+0 -ctype grey -corder inter -out jpeg -o \\...\redaktionsbilder-pc\%%.jpg %WF_FILE%

Thanks for all hints in advance

Code: Select all

"C:\Programme\nconvert\nconvert" -out jpeg -o \\...\redaktionsbilder-pc\%%.jpg %WF_FILE%

please add -q for the ouput quality
