"Efficiently finding large (size and dimension) images"

I needed to efficiently find large images (those with dimensions greater than x). Here's what I came up with:

First, find images whose file size is greater than 3M:

find . -name '*jpg' -size 3M > /tmp/big-receipts.txt

Now, get the dimensions of each of those images using imagemagick's identify command line utility. The key to using this thing efficiently is to include the "-ping" flag (believe it or not that took me quite a while to figure out):

identify -ping filename.jpg

displays this type of output:

/tmp/big.jpg JPEG 10200x13200 10200x13200+0+0 8-bit DirectClass 5.54MB 0.000u 0:00.000

Now we can put the two together:

for fname in `cat /tmp/big-receipts.txt`; do identify -ping $fname; done
