Automatic resize before save

[jcurtis]

Hello!

I am wondering if there is a way to automatically resize a region screen capture such as with a post capture command line?
I am using the automatic save for the region capture and it would be excellent if the images were resized prior to the automatic save...is it possible?

Thanks!

such as with a post capture command line?

yep, you have the right idea.  you just need to find a command-line resizer (or general purpose tool) that will do what you want.

ImageMagick is free and can certainly do the job.

You would then configure it here:

Awesome thankyou! I have installed Image Magick and have the resize command working straight from the command line but I'm having trouble getting it to work in Screenshot Captor. I've tried a few variations but can't get it to work - I've attached an example. This line is working from cmd, obviously with %file% swapped out for the file name. Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?

Thanks again!

you have the right idea
try putting the %file% parts in double quotes, and a full path to the icovert exe.

like c:\imagemagick\icovert.exe "%file%" -resize 120 "%file%"

ps. for those who don't resize quite so often, SC has a "Create Thumbnail" action inside the File menu, which can be quickly triggered from the toolbar to use previous settings, which can be used to perform fairly quick resizing-like actions (it doesn't actually resize the current image, it saves a copy of the current image at the designated size).
