mogrify

mogrify -format xpm -geometry 32x32 -map /usr/share/pixmaps/cmap.xpm fileToConvert
	// creates a standardized icon from a pre-existing image


** To create a directory of email-able pics or thumbnails:

cd /path/to/picfolder
cd ..						// back up one level
cp -R picfolder smallpicfolder			// create a duplicate folder
cd smallpicfolder
mogrify -size 800x600 -resize 800x600 *.jpg	// mogrify to email size

Note:  the mogrify operation will overwrite the existing imgages, hence it is
important to make a duplicate folder with all of the images.
