If you are running OS 8 - 9.x then have a look at ImageMagick_AE
located:
http://www.lazerware.com/imagemagick/
ftp://ftp.lazerware.com/ImageMagick_AE.sit
ImageMagick_AE has a scripting only interface and a collection of
sample scripts to get you started.
There is also a UNIX version of the app for OSX somewhere. You should
be able to find it from here:
http://www.imagemagick.org/
Finally, there are a number of AppleScript parsing routines that I
have seen float out from the two main AppleScript mailing lists. You
might try the archives of both lists.
