Upload images from folder to a program by powershell

busybee235 · Oct 7, 2012

Its like, I have a folder containing 2000+ jpg images and have folders somewhere with name 1, 1.33, 1.5, 2 with are basically ratio names. I want if powershell could upload those images and crop them according to the closest aspect ratios(1, 1.33, 1.5, 2) and save into respective ratio folder.

Or tell this software JPEGCrops to upload image and use its functions to crop image to closest ratio and save to respective ratio 1, 1.33, 1.5, 2 folder.

if you are not able to understand, its like:

powershell uploads images from "C:\images\" folder

check each image' ratio, by width/height

if(ratio is closest to any 1, 1.33, 1.5, 2 ) crop into that

then save it into respective 1, 1.33, 1.5, 2 folder.

Hello busybee235 and welcome to the forums :party:

Are they all grouped into aspect ratios as they are? Say 400 at 1.4, 250 at 1.33 etc. Or is every file different? If there's less than 10 (give or take a few) different aspect ratios, I think I can help.

Please ignore this, I just don't want to lose the link: http://sumtips.com/2011/12/sort-organize-images-resolution-aspect-ratio.html

thanks tom for replying.

All 200+ images are unsorted and mixed in a folder with mixed ratio and that too different other than mentioned (1,1.33,1.5,2) ratios.

No worries

My C# is very rusty, but I might just be able to code this for you if I have to. There are easier solutions that I would like to try first.

Of those 200+ images, how many different aspect ratios are there?

busybee235 · Oct 8, 2012

Each image has different aspect ratio. I want if powershell can move those files which are closest to the mentioned ratio folder(1,1.33,1.5,2). It goes on checking each image and move them to appropriate folder. This is just powershell requirement.

for eg. 1 image has dimension(1366 x 768) width x height

so it has ratio 1366/768=1.78
Now script should compare this ratio(1.78) with all the ratios(1,1.33,1.5,2) and find closest to it i.e. 2, then it should move that image to the folder named 2.

Its simpler than using and uploading into any other program.

This should go on until the last image in source folder.

Sorry, for repetition.

Hello busybee,

I'll give it a go, but I can't promise anything. I'm going to have to learn a little powershell to do this! I found a great script to get the image properties:

Code:

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile( "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.Drawing.dll")  
  
 "Name|SizeInBytes|Width|Height" >> C:\JPGInfo.txt  
  
 $path = "C:\Images\"  
 $images = Get-ChildItem -Recurse $path -Include *.jpg  
  
 foreach ($image in $images)  
 {  
     $name = $image.Name  
     $length = $image.Length  
     $imageFile = [System.Drawing.Image]::FromFile($image.FullName) 
     $width = $imageFile.Width  
     $height = $imageFile.Height 
  
     "$name|$length|$width|$height" >> C:\JPGInfo.txt  
      
     $imageFile.Dispose() 
 }

[del]Now I need to modify that to calculate the aspect ratio and sort out the directories, then upload the lot. Where do you want to upload these images to?[/del]

Edit: What am I talking about, this is way above me

I don't have time to teach myself Powershell. I hope you get a reply here though:

you can provide in C# or C!!

I have made an algorithm of finding closest ratio of a image, if it can be any of your help, I can tell you.
