Thanks very much both of you.

Imagemagick -- of course. I've used 'convert' before but forgot that
it was part of imagemagick. As for Gimp - i regret to say that i
haven't explored it very much and wasn't aware of the CLI side. I've
used GIMP for editing but it's such a vats app that i haven't explored
it fully but will NOW DO SO.
