# Image Resizing on Mac with ImageMagick via Homebrew

This guide provides steps to install ImageMagick using Homebrew and resize an image on a Mac.

## Installing ImageMagick

1. **Open Terminal:** You can find Terminal in Applications under Utilities or use Spotlight to search for it.

2. **Install Homebrew:** If you don't have Homebrew installed, execute the following command in Terminal:
   ```bash
      /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
         ```

         3. **Install ImageMagick:** Once Homebrew is installed, run this command to install ImageMagick:
            ```bash
               brew install imagemagick
                  ```

                  ## Resizing an Image

                  1. **Navigate to Image Folder:** Change the directory to where your image is located.
                     ```bash
                        cd /path/to/your/image/directory
                           ```

                           2. **Resize the Image:** Use the `convert` command from ImageMagick to resize the image. For example, to resize an image named `original.jpg` to a width of 600 pixels while keeping the aspect ratio, use:
                              ```bash
                                 convert original.jpg -resize 600x resized.jpg
                                    ```
                                       This will create a new resized image named `resized.jpg` in the same directory.

                                       ## Notes

                                       - The `600x` in the resize command specifies the width in pixels. The height will be adjusted automatically to maintain the aspect ratio.
                                       - If you want to overwrite the original image, use the same name for the output file.
                                       - For more advanced options, refer to the ImageMagick documentation or use `man convert` in Terminal to see the manual.
                                       ```
