Purpose: To create the left/right perspective images of album covers for iJukebox program

Pre-requisites:
MediaNet Jukebox Module
ImageMagick v6.3.5-1 (download here)
  Download either Q8 static or Q16 static (Q16 is for 16 bit images and uses twice as many resources,
  so probably best to try Q8 first

Creates the 50% perspective images of album artwork (from the Jukebox module) for use by iJukebox
It looks at all artwork stored in the Jukebox modules database table and creates a _left and _right pair of images
(e.g. folder.jpg = folder_left.jpg, folder_right.jpg or for transparent folder_left.png, folder_right.png)
It does not overwrite images, so if you want to change the size you must delete the old _left & _right images first
