set theImage to choose file
tell application “Image Events”
launch
set theImageReference to open theImage
tell theImageReference
scale to size 20000
save
close
end tell
end tell

I am using OS X 10.4 and tried the script above to scale a big image both in GIF and PSD format
the file size = 14.784 width and 21.120 height
I want to resize the picture proportionally with a height of 20000 pixels

when I run this script I do get NO error messages, but als … also nothing happens

what did I do wrong?

will be grateful for help/suggestions

Please read the dictionary…

save‚v : Save an image to a file in one of various formats
save specifier : the object for the command
[as BMP/JPEG/JPEG2/PICT/PNG/PSD/QuickTime Image/TIFF] : file type in which to save the image ( default is to make no change )
[icon boolean] : Shall an icon be added? ( default is false )
[in disk item] : file path in which to save the image, in HFS or POSIX form
[PackBits boolean] : Are the bytes to be compressed with PackBits? ( default is false, applies only to TIFF )
[with compression level high/low/medium] : specifies the compression level of the resultant file ( applies only to JPEG )
→ alias

save as something in something
