I went through the same stages to try and find out the best/fastest/most
reliable image manipulation automated tool using applescript... the
result are not completely satisfactory to me though (however, we got a lot
done with the tools) and here is a brief:
- Graphics Converter will do your job.. but PhotoScripter with PhotoShop is
slightly faster, more reliable and definitely offers more control and
manipulations (it starts at 300$ for a single license plus initially owning
PhotoShop... a lot of $$)
- GC will read the file info great but if you modify it in the script and
put it back it will go in the resource fork so it won't be available when
opened on a PC.... sucks..
- if you want real speed .... I would say... drop AppleScript completely
and automate photoshop on a PC with windows using visual basic and photoshop
as an automation server... all the documentation you may need is available
in the SDK on Adobe's site... works much better but a lot harder to figure
out.
