Why not just:

    find . -type f -name \*.jpg | while read file; do
        convert "$file" -resize 425 "small-$file"
    done

My question I guess is what's the difference between
"while IFS= read -r file" and "while read file"?

Also I'd think input and output files should be different on the conver 
command, though I'm not sure what op wanted.
