I did that and works fine.

The only problem that I have is that the jpg images are not very sharp
so I have to auto-levels or auto-shard them in Adobe Photoshop.

Is there any way to do the same in Linux?

Apart from this, the Linux way is better as I don't have to interfere with GUIs
and that kind of things :-)

many thanks,
Mihalis.
