I was fiddling around with BIMP (Batch Image Manipulation Plugin) and I ran into a problem I couldn't solve.
I have a large amount of images that I want to make square.
Example: if an image is 500x700, it should be resized to 700x700, without stretching the image, and while keeping the image centered.
Assuming you ran into problems because of a mixture of Portrait and Landscape aspect ratio images.
You can do this in BIMP but needs two operations because BIMP does not permit a duplicate resize.
You will be overwriting files so make sure you use copies (or be very confident in your own ability)
First Resize to fixed width with padding, but include a gimp operation 'zealouscrop' with the out folder set same as images.
Apply this and the images are all the same width but various heights.
Do not leave BIMP, go and edit the procedures. Remove zealous crop. Edit Resize for a fixed Height with padding.
Apply BIMP and that gets you all a defined width and height with appropriate padding depending on aspect.
Does not make sense? A short video demo, duration 2- 1/2 minutes.
