Wrench Bash with problems related to files

Hi unix people, i'm really a newbie and i've created a small bash to process some picture with ImageMagick.
I have just some issue and i think this script, if we can help me to correct in right way, could be useful!

Basically i have a Eyefi Card who puts files into a folder called "picture"
(sorry i must use cygwin cause last version EyeFi does'nt work under linux environemet)
i need take only the last 25 pictures from that,rename and put in a separate folder (i don't know how to do it so i put on same Smilie )
after i process the dimension, add the watermark and copy on different folder.

here the code:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
while : 
do
    echo "Foto Su Eyefi build 1.9 del 28.07.2015 ---- Riccardo Galardi"
    sleep 2s
    echo "VAI ALLA CARTELLA PICTURES"
    sleep 2s
	cd /
    cd cygdrive/c/PICTURES	
	echo "--------OK---------"
    echo "Prendo gli ultimi 25 files e li sovrascrive nella stessa cartella PICTURES con numerazione progressiva"
    sleep 2s
	find $DIR -type f -printf "%T@ %p\n" | sort -n | cut -d' ' -f 2 | tail -n 25 | gawk 'BEGIN{ a=1 }{ printf "mv \"%s\" %04d.JPG\n", $0, a++ }' | bash
    echo "--------OK---------"
	sleep 2s
	echo "Riduco le dimensioni a 1920 lato lungo"
    mogrify -resize 1920x1920 *.jpg
	sleep 2s
	echo "--------OK---------"
	echo "Inserisci il Logo sulle foto"
	mogrify *.jpg -gravity center -draw "image over 0,0 0,0 'Back.png'" *.jpg
	echo "--------OK---------"
	sleep 2s
    echo "Copia le foto elaborate sul drive Z"
    cp *.JPG /cygdrive/z
	echo "--------OK---------"
	sleep 2s
    echo "attendo 10 sec"
	echo "Press [CTRL+C] to stop.."
    sleep 10s
	
done

my biggest problem is: how i can exctract only the pictures and not the other files inside the folder? (often my watermark is taked as picture...and processed also if it's in a separate folder)
and how can i put only the last 25 files on a separate folder?

Thank you very much, really apreciate any help.... and hope my script could be interesting to someone else who use EyeFi card

If you expect different image file types within the Pictures folder, and the watermark - i assume it is 'back.png') - in the same location, you will run into issues.
I'd rather suggest to put the watermark file outside the working path, and refer to it via a variable.

Another issue is, at one time your refer to *.jpg another time to *.JPG
To limit the find output, you must define a filter like -name *.jpg
