Image proccessing tool question

[Matt Silberstein]

I need to do the following job. I can see how to do this in Perl, but
if it already exists in some tool/script that would be better.

I have a number of jpeg images of various sizes (but close together in
size). Eventually I want each of them embedded in a new jpeg centered
in a background. There are various approaches to solve this and if the
tool exists I am open. If not, then I figure for me I would do two
passes. First, scan the image directory/source and determine maximum
length and width. If it were manual I would then decide the best
larger size to use. After that I would make my second pass, putting
each image in the background image and saving it.

TIA and if anyone else would find this useful I will try to make it
general. So tell me how you would like it generalized.

ImageMagick?

I assume that not all pictures tile nicely, so what color are you using
for the background?

Thanks.


ImageMagick?

Likely, but I am not sure yet.

Probably white, but I suspect I will need this again and will make it
flexible.
