Hi Fred,

example:
landscape image: 3000x2000 pixels
-resize 1800x ...

portrait image: 2000x3000 pixels
-resize x1800 ...

In this example I want that the _longer_ side of the image will be 1800.

So the question is, if the decision can be automatically made with IM, if 
1800x oder x1800 must be used or if I have to code a condition with identify 
in a bash-script, which makes the decision.
