Script that prepares photos for Facebook

This is a follow-up of an earlier post. The topic remains the same; merging photo albums from different cameras while preserving chronological order, and removing potentially private metadata.

Like many others, I have noticed that Facebook increased its photo size from 604 to 720 pixels. At the same time, I noticed that the commands in my last post weren’t perfect. I have tried to write an improved script:

Simply run it in your photos folder and it will make a ‘facebook’ directory to which it copies your processed photos. By default, it only handles the photos in the current directory. To make it recursive (it will skip the ‘facebook’ dir), just remove or edit “-maxdepth 1″.

As before, I can recommend ImageMagick and Cygwin if you are a Windows user.

Shouldn’t have to mention it, but: Use at your own risk.
