Hello all,
For those of you interested in image scripting, I have released a beta
version of Image Info, an AppleScript tool for returning information about
image files. A description:
Image Info is an AppleScript library which returns information about image
files without loading the whole image into memory. Because it does not need
to open the whole image, it returns the info very quickly.
Image Info runs on all Macintosh system from 7.5 to OS X.
Current supported file formats:
- TIFF (Macintosh & IBM PC formats)
- JPEG
- PICT
- Photoshop EPS (including DCS 1.0 and DCS 2.0)
- BMP (Windows bitmap)
- 8BPS (Photoshop, only versions 2.5 and above)
- PNG
- PNTG (Macpaint)
- PCX (PC PaintBrush)
- GIFf (Compuserve gif)
- ..CT (Scitex CT)
For each type listed above, Image Info returns the following information:
- Height (as pixels)
- Width (as pixels)
- Resolution (as dots per inch)
- Color mode (bitmap, grayscale, RGB, CMYK, Indexed, Multichannel or Lab)
- Compression type (for TIFF and BMP only.)
Scripts can be written to use Image Info to quickly sort images which have a
color mode of RGB from those which are CMYK, or list up all images which
have a low resolution, the limitation is your imagination...
Several example scripts are included.

Be quick though, the current beta expires at the end of October.
Best regards,
David Lloyd
