I have a process that has to resize all the images to a certain size. I am looking for the absolute fastest scriptable app that I can use.

I have tried Image Events and Imagine Photo. Both are great programs, but I waas curious if anyone had done any research to know the absolute fastest.

Thanks

The absolute fastest way is to use CoreGraphics. This is part of the OS and involves a fairly steep learning curve to get it working. If you install the Developer tools you’ll find Python examples in Developer/Examples/Quartz/Python. To use it from Applescript might be a bit convoluted - You’d need to write it in Python and then call it via ‘do shell script’. Hope this helps.
