I have to do something similar with my digital camera, and convert
didn't quite do what I needed. Instead I scripted something similar to
this :

#!/bin/bash
#
# convert_pics.sh
# convert all images in the current dir to 320X240
# 
# could be modified to use $* from the command line instead
#
# make a dir for the originals
mkdir orig
# cd to it
cd orig
# move the originals here
mv ../*.jpg .
# convert them
for i in $(ls *.jpg); do 
 cat $i | djpeg | pnmscale -xsize 320 -ysize 240 | cjpeg >../$i;
done;
# cd back
cd ..
# end
