Copy-paste from a post at bbs.applescript.net:

I've been taking a look to a set of utilities called "ImageMagick" and
perhaps these are the answer to your question... Seems that they will run
under the UNIX shell, so you can automate it easily (via shell scripting or
via AppleScript-shellscripting).
http://imagemagick.sourceforge.net/
Seems that also Mr. Leonard Rosenthol wrote a scriptable interface for Mac
OS some time ago (look at
http://www.lazerware.com/imagemagick/ ), but I
don't know if it will work or not, since this is the first time I heard
about this utility
Perhaps you can find here
http://philip.greenspun.com/panda/images some
samples on imagemagick scripting.
Or here
