Last workweek I narrate you how to utilize Automator to commute a crew of iPhoto images to black and white . This prompted exchangeable questions from forum visitors Macnutjohn and Matthew Bushey . Wrote Macnutjohn :
I marvel if this could be used to resize trope using ColorSync ?
To which I would reply , not using ColorSync but rather a different Automator action . It goes like this :
As I explained in the original unveiling you could pick out images in iPhoto and then copy them to a folder on your Desktop by using Automator ’s Get Specified iPhoto Items and Copy Finder Items actions . You ’ll want to create an album for images you intend to exchange — I called mine “ To Convert”—and place it in the first activeness . Then produce a folder on your screen background — mine ’s call “ born-again Photos”—and make it the destination folder in the 2d action .
At that point I went on to utilize the Apply ColorSync Profile to Images action to convert the image to black and white and then a Change Type of Images action to convert the image to the TIFF format . you could forego these actions and move right to change the range of a function ’s size of it , or you could add another natural action to this workflow that change the size of the image .
The action you practice for this is Scale Images . Drag it into your workflow and you see that you may configure the pop - up menu to give up you to descale the image to a specific pixel width—640 , for illustration — or opt a fussy percent , such as 75 percent .
Automator also include a Pad Images activity . By default this changes the canvas ’ dimensions . you may expect the natural process to also scale the mental image before padding it . And there ’s also a Crop Images activity that you use to crop images to peculiar dimensions or portion . select the former and you’re able to elect to scale the image before you snip it .
