This makes me wonder: am I being overly optimistic to think that a script that
uses "do shell script" to call the sips command will be unaffected by this
problem, and continue to work for me when we go to Leopard?

I wrote some stuff using sips under Leopard and it worked fine. I can't say
I tested sips extensively, but it did what I asked.


History suggests that the chance of a command-line utility shipping full of
bugs is a lot lower than something designed for scripters.

I've found a few problems with SIPS.

The intent term "Saturation" is spelled incorrectly and needs to be typed as "Satuation" -- if you'd ever need it ;-)

SIPS will not honour any intent other than relative if it doesn't like the B2A2 table in the destination profile. There are no warnings when this happens so I reported it as a bug (ID# 5633670: SIPS cannot match images with any intent other than "relative") last year but haven't seen any follow ups.
