ImageMagick is the go.
http://www.imagemagick.org/
Off the web-page:
| Here are just a few examples of what ImageMagick can do:
|  Convert an image from one format to another (e.g. TIFF to JPEG)
|  Resize, rotate, sharpen, color reduce, or add special effects to an image
|  Create a montage of image thumbnails
|  Create a transparent image suitable for use on the Web
|  Turn a group of images into a GIF animation sequence
|  Create a composite image by combining several separate images
|  Draw shapes or text on an image
|  Decorate an image with a border or frame
|  Describe the format and characteristics of an image

I've massaged 100's of images with it. for example:
