ImageMagick is a set of command line tools that usually comes standard with Linux distributions.

====== Make thumbnail images of posters from PDF files ======

<2015.6.26>

On the Linux/Cygwin/OS X command line:

<code>
$ convert -thumbnail 300 Cate_Brown_Roldan_SfN_2014_FINAL.pdf outputFileName.png
</code>

To create thumbnail image of one page of a multi-page PDF file (like a journal article):

<code>
$ convert -thumbnail pdfFileName.pdf[0] outputFileName.png
</code>

[0] is for first page, [1] for second, etc.

====== Crop images using command line ======

<2016-01-08>

Anthony did this to crop an SPM rWLS residual time seriers figure (blank except for the very bottom) using command line tool ImageMagick (“convert”). 

<code>
convert rwls_residual_time_series.png -gravity South ...
   -crop 0x30%+0+0 rwls_residual_time_series_crop.png
</code>

This means: "Crop from bottom up (''-gravity South'') leaving all width and removing 30% of height (''0x30%+0+0'')"

Got advice from this and related pages:
