prepimg.sh - a script to prepare images (screenshots) for inclusion in articles to be submitted to opensource.com for publication. The opensource.com (OSDC) platform requires a maximum width for images to be 600 pixels.

This script does the following:

• reduces width to meet OSDC 600 pixel width limit
• adds a 1 pixel border of specified color
• places finished images into a "Ready" directory

This script relies on utilities provided by the package ImageMagick.

• Fedora - dnf info imagemagick
