Exploring dithering: batch convert images (image magic)
This is a very quick script to batch generate images conversion via image magic. It's using an array and a loop to generate commands on cli, which exectued conver the headre.jpeg file; each iteration of the code also concatenate a bit of html (< img > and some container). Once the loop is over, the html string is saved into a text file. It was not practical to experiment with the command line and I needed to get an overview of the differences amongst the different files; I also needed to preview how the image would work with some basic css layering (hence the multiple containers).
Usage:
php batch_convert.php
if the only image file in the folder is the header.jpeg then it will create all the versions based on the dithering parameters in the array.
