Image Info, a scripting library, will do this for you. It caters for all
common Mac file formats, including Photoshop and EPS, and will return all
the important info about image files quickly.
It's primary purpose is for scripters who want to get info about images.
It's compatible with systems 7, 8, 9 & X.
