Irrational Exuberance

You are writing a comment about Using Automator to Scale Images Horizontally, here is a quick summary:

With ten minutes before bed and 35 megs of images to scale, I had my first encounter with Automator. It was a good encounter, and I heartily recommend it to others for--at minimum--batch scaling images.

Hehe, great and simple workaround to scale the images horizontally!

Next time you want to batch-manipulate images on your Mac, I would recommend using sips, the built-in scriptable image processing system in Mac OS X. AppleScripts' Image Events library is also based on this helpful program. You can learn more about both here:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/sips.1.html

If you need any help with AppleScript, Automator or Unix scripting, I kindly invite you to visit us friendly folks over at the AppleScript forums at MacScripter.net.
