Resize your pictures easily with a free Automator script pack.
This software review is for Resize Picture Dropper, a helpful Automator script for iPhoto users. This script is compatible with iPhoto 4 and 6, and it allows users to save smaller versions of their pictures to the desktop. One of the best features of this script is its flexibility. Users are given the option to choose where they want to save their scaled pictures. By default, the location is set to the Desktop.
Another top feature of Resize Picture Dropper is the way it formats filenames. By making them all lowercase, users can easily post their pictures online. However, it's worth noting that Resize Picture Dropper assumes that all picture files it processes should be made smaller. If users want to keep the original size, they should copy the picture first.
In addition to Resize Picture Dropper, the software also includes Resize and Mail Pictures. This feature can be used to send a new Mail message. Users can add text, subject, and who to send the pictures to. Once this is done, Resize and Mail Pictures will copy files to the desktop (by default) and shrink the pictures to the required size to go through email. It's worth noting that pictures saved using Resize and Mail Pictures will be smaller than pictures saved using Resize Pictures 1.3. This is very useful for email correspondence as attachments can sometimes be limited by size.
The helper app included with the software does not send the message automatically, in case users want to add more text or add more recipients. This way, users have complete flexibility to modify their message as needed.
Finally, Resize Pictures.workflow has been created for users who only want to resize one picture at a time. This feature is very straightforward and easy to use. Simply open this workflow with Automator, save it as a plugin, and users will have a quick and easy method to resize individual pictures. The Resize Picture Dropper was created for batches of pictures, making it a very useful tool for users who have many images to resize.
