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.

That's a fun workaround for what is a bit of a baffling limitation. I can understand simplifying interfaces, but you can't actually tell what the "Scale" action is going to do until you run it once.

I bumped up against this a while back and ended up using some Automator actions that come bundled with Pixelmator (which I got in one of the Macheist bundles) to get a bit more control over image processing.
