Does anyone know a good BATCH cropping program?

Dec 28, 2011 7:31 AM

I have a bunch of photos (hundreds) that need to be cropped (not resized, but cropped) to 150 x 75. I'd like to be able to create a frame that's 150 x 75, then say "crop all the files in this folder" and then it will prompt me one-by-one where to place the "crop frame" on each photo. That way, for instance, I can move the "crop frame" to an interesting portion of the picture, like someone's face.

Or, does anyone know how I can tap into some kind of face recognition software to do similar cropping (like Google's face tagging? is there an API?)

I'm trying to make thumbnails for a photo gallery, and I want the thumbnails to be literally just a crop of the big picture down to 150 x 75, where each thumbnail is focused on an interesting element of the full-size picture.

Does anyone know of any utilities or programs that can help me?

I don't know of any program to do this but if I were looking for something like it I'd start by checking out Lifehacker and see if they have any posts on it.

Good Luck.

Irfanview http://www.irfanview.com/ has a crop option under advanced options in batch conversion.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
