Hi Romy,
First I'm a little familiar with image conversion.
It depends on wich mime-type you wish to convert. There are several
ways to convert.
Applescript's images events. With this you can convert the images
like psd, tif, jpg, bmp, etc....
in the folder /system/library/printers/library/ there is an tool
convert. I use this to convert postscript files to pdf. Don't know
exactly what else you can do with it. Can convert with do shell script
I have also installed Ghostscript 8.5. I use this for converting
postscript to image and visa versa.
If you want to convert only png to jpeg I should use image events.
code is like this
tell application "image events"
set theImage to open image theFile
save image theImage as JPEG
close theImage
end
Greetings bastiaan

Hi List,
I am seeking the kind help of someone who is familiar with image
conversion.
I often convert images such as .png to .jpeg and normally use the
"save as" command in Preview. Yes, I know, it is a very tedious job
especially when there are many items to change. I have no doubt that
this is a very good candidate for scripting.
My question is: Is there a Unix command that can be wrapped in a do
shell script that would do the job?
If so, could someone show me what that command would be and how it
would look in a do shell script line?
If there is no Unix command usable in a do shell wrap, what is the
next ideal solution?
Many thanks.
Romy Opena
