I can't speak for the quality setting because I haven't looked it up but when I want to process a lot of images I normally run them into another location using mogrify. I just converted a whole directory of TIF images on Ubuntu using the following. 

mogrify -path tmp -format jpg -quality 35 *.tif

All the images retained their name, were converted into JPG, and were placed into a subdirectory called tmp. I could have specified a full path, but this is how I normally do it so it was already set up.

Mogrify will write over images in place (if you don't specify the path) so test the command and be careful until comfortable with it.

  • Good point, though I was just showing an example, had a folder of TIFs and wanted to copy and paste the exact command line. So it should be noted that there are several options and permutations possible. This is just an example of how to use mogrify on several images into another folder. – Dennis Feb 24 '13 at 14:34
