CONVERT ONLY BIGGER-Images -SKIP SMALLER
Posted: Fri Aug 17, 2018 7:33 am
Hii 
,
I need a "switch" in the "Resize" action - which is "skip images with smaller size".
Before finding XnConvert & XnViewMP, I was using "FastStone Photo Resizer" (FPR) - and FPR has this "switch".
Why this Switch ?
- We have, like others, tons of old pictures - from generations of Digital-Cameras (and now Mobile-Phone-Cameras) - and Resolutions has gone up - from less than 1MP to 10+MP.
- The old pictures "doesn't hold much information" - and is "enlarged" on large hi-def screens/TV's. Making any "artifact" very visible.
- The small/old pictures, are also not very big (maybe only 100 Kbytes) - so they don't need "conversion" - versus the "big/new" 10+MP taking up 3-5 MBytes each.
What I am doing, with FPR ?
- I take any picture, bigger than for instance 3000x2000 pixel, and Convert (compress) these - and leave the "old/small" images alone.
- Knowing, that jpg/any Compression introduces more artifacts (decrease the quality of the image), I leave the small/old pictures alone.
What XnConvert/XnViewMP does, so far :
- they convert ALL images, no matter the size - also when "only reduce size" is selected (in output, Resize) - reducing the quality and re-compressing the small/old pictures.
Kind regards, and highly hoping for this switch to come along - because your software so the best and the fastest and most versatile, in the other aspects (converting around 3-10 times as fast as FPR in my 4-core i5 machine).
