So, I want to resize images to a FIXED width, but proportional height.

I have been trying a wide range of operators:

380x242# 380x242> 380!x242 380x242<

none of them have the desired effect. Any help? I want it to fill or resize to the 380 width, then resize / shrink the height by the same factor it used to shrink or resize the image to 380 wide.

Try using 380x

This should resize width to 380px and keep original aspect ratio.

For all available options for resizing images go here: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-processing.php?ImageMagick=lj6pre8q2iautc3ch6nuph1fc2#geometry
