Google for jhead
Some years ago - OS 8 was current - I gave a talk on AppleScript that involved making greeting cards with AppleWorks. At that time I managed to compile the source code for jhead.c on a Mac and link it to AppleScript but it won't be usable on OS neXt that way. <ftp://ftp.macnauchtan.com/SMMUG/> still contains my notes on that.
I see in the Google search that it has been ported to OS neXt. How well it interfaces to AppleScript I donno.
imagemagick is also available as a UNIX command line tool but it's not delivered with the Mac OS. Its
identify -verbose path_to_jpeg
command is the place to start but you'll want to use:
identify -format "%thingies" path_to_jpeg
to get the speed up after you know what you want.
