![]() ![]() Generously, you have 13 different resizing algorithms from which to choose.Īs with Lightroom’s own variables, any formulas you create can be saved as a preset. Should you wish, LR/Mogrify 2 allows you to resize an image with the borders, overriding the settings in Lightroom's native "Image Sizing" section of the Export dialog. You can do some math (either adding pixels or calculating percentages) to figure out your final file size. LR/Mogrify 2 will add Outer Borders based on the image dimensions defined in the Export dialog. LR/Mogrify allows you to add as many as you like should you for some reason want to create a series of multicolored borders. Select "Outer Borders" from the list in the bottom left and then "Insert" just below it to add it to Lightroom's list of export variables. ![]() Others include the ability to add text annotations, a background canvas, and inner borders. LR/Mogrify 2 does more than add external borders some of them are similar to existing Lightroom functionality, such as sharpening adding a graphical watermark and file compression. Once installed, a new section will be added to Lightroom's Export dialog box. To find the right folder, choose “File” and then “Plugin Manager.” Then, click on any plugin on the left and under “Status,” you will find a button marked “Show in Finder.”Īfter you’ve copied the LR/Mogrify 2 plugin, hit “Add,” and tell Lightroom the location. I suggest copying the plugin to your machine’s plugins folder, as installing a plugin does not prompt Lightroom to copy it there automatically, and it’s best to keep them all in one place. Window users will have to first install ImageMagick, a free bitmap converter, but beyond that, it’s simply a matter of downloading the plugin and telling Lightroom where to find it. Fortunately, there’s a plugin that does exactly that: LR/Mogrify 2, created by Timothy Armes, a software engineer based in France. Given that I like having a border on my images when posting to Instagram Stories and to Twitter, it was frustrating that Adobe hasn’t thought to add a simple “add border” option to its Export dialogue. You can do some math, but as soon as you use a photo that’s a different ratio, you’ll need to start over. Being a print module and with paper in mind, Lightroom only gives you options to set inches, centimeters, picas, points, and pixels per inch - there’s no quick way of setting the resulting image size in pixels. After that, there’s the fun of calculating the dimensions of your resulting file. The second option is to dive into Lightroom’s dreaded Print module and start navigating the random panels before deciphering the difference between a Picture Package and a Custom Package. Anyone wanting to achieve this classic look is typically forced into one of two routes: The first option is Photoshop, which offers automation through Actions and Droplets, but adds multiple steps to what should be achievable within a few clicks. Be sure to check the output of Irfanview carefully, as it sometimes breaks images when used with Wine.While Lightroom’s export dialogue does grant you a large amount of control, the option to add a simple border to your files is notably missing. Side note: mogrify can be used to execute most (if not all) convert operations in batch, while overwriting original files.Īs Trevor noted in the comments, you can use the -path option to output converted files to a new directory without overwriting the original files: mogrify -trim -path trimmed_folder/ *.png To keep the originals use the -path option or do a backup copy of all images in the directory before proceeding with the mogrify command. Please note that unlike convert and batch operation with find and convert, mogrify overwrites all files. While find allows for much greater control where output files will be placed, it is also possible to do the same with ImageMagick's mogrify: mogrify -trim *.pngĪnd if you want to crop colors near the corner colors (adjust the percentage based on the results you are observing): mogrify -trim -fuzz 10% *.png ImageMagick Batch Trim (find)Ībove command for ImageMagick Trim can also be used to batch process images combined with the find command: find. Use the option +repage to remove a canvas (if applicable). Note: The -fuzz option must precede -trim because options' order matters for convert command to work as expected. fuzz 10%) also removes colors near the corner colors. The additional option -fuzz (which takes a percentage as an argument, e.g. Usage: convert input.png -trim output.png The command line option trim used together with convert, or mogrify lets you trim borders of the same color as the corners of an image. ![]()
