 +==== Screenshots ====
 I use this script for taking screenshots, bound to the ''Print Scrn'' key with [[i3wm]]. It dumps a screenshot into my 'Pictures' directory, and makes a beep. You can set it to make a notification if you want. I use this script for taking screenshots, bound to the ''Print Scrn'' key with [[i3wm]].

 +Without beep:

 +<file bash screenshot.sh>
 +#!/bin/bash
 +import -silent -window root $HOME/Pictures/screenshot_`date +%y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S`.png

 +==== Image Conversion ====
 +
 +Two main commands are ''convert'' and ''mogrify''. The distinction is that the former makes new files, and the later can overwrite existing files.
 +
 +This will convert all PNGs in the current directory to JPGs at quality 50 and scaled to 1200px width.
 +
 +<code bash>mogrify -format jpg -quality 50% -resize 1200x *.png</code>
 +
 +==== Create PDF ====
 +
 +To create a PDF from a bunch of PNG files in a directory:
 +
 +<code bash>convert *.png [name].pdf</code>
