Overwrite original image after conversion

I am using the following command to convert a tiff to a jpg.It works fine but it creates lena512color.jpg as expected.

gm mogrify -format jpg lena512color.tiff

I want to know what command shoul;d i use to overwrite the existing file.For e.g suppose i have a tiff named /tmp/0303393 , i need to convert it to a jpg while still keeping name/path as /tmp/0303393

Solution

  • I don't think you can do that with mogrify, you probably need convert, but either way the syntax is like this when extensions are omitted or don't correspond to formats:

    gm convert TIF:/tmp/0303393 JPEG:/tmp/0303393
