There are minimally two pieces of AppleScriptable software pre-installed and
useful for this sort of task.  (I suppose there is arguably just one, and
the second is a kind of wrapper around the first.)

Check out the Image Events dictionary [it's a pre-installed scripting
addition] and the Unix tool 'sips' [which I think is the basis for Image
Events anyway].

Or, you can download and install the osax separately:
