FREDDUCKER  This is incredibly bad... you have no idea what is going to happen, where anything will be saved, what's gonna happen to your pictures or whether or not the original files will be crushed.

Stay away from this program!!

MACTOE  I've been developing software since the mac came out and I rarely write a review but this is about at absurd as it gets.

NO INTERFACE AT ALL

There are no preferences to set for destination folder or anything for that matter.

You can't set limits for cropping, converting, resizing, rotating... nothing. You have no idea what this program is doing on your mac or to your images.

This is terrible... don't touch it.

PERSON1229  It's an AppleScript wrapper for some terminal command. You can't expect much from AppleScript.

NIKCOLEMAN  Really brilliant, simple software - I had an FC Pro project bogged down with giant TIFFs - 20 minutes later, with 57 converted and 3GB saved, FC Pro was flying along . Simple, easy, brilliant, will contribute!

TARLACH  Please tell us how you used it.

The directions don't work.

I want to rotate batch files and it won't even rotate one file.

Be kind to use and let us know how you did it.

ZANGIEF  The Christmas icon looks great, I might download it just because it looks so funny.

GOLDEN  You know what would be nice? Some INTERFACE. This program doesnt have any. All these ridiculous 'hints' above? How exactly are we supposed to use them?

Additionally, and this is hardly an afterthought, when it resized my jpgs, it cropped them. Didnt preserve the original images, simply resizing them, but cut a square out of them to the requested pixel count.

Clumsy, and considering all the other options for photo resizing, fairly useless.

CLIFTON  Pixer works great. I recommend it.

Personally, I would like to see the hints included in the app window so that we don't have to remember them.

OLIPOWER  This is a nice app. Thanks to the developer for making it. I wish it would let me output to jpeg format too though.

OLIPOWER  Oki doki. Super super duper. And many thanks.

I have another feature request:

Optional conversion to the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color profile. Reason? I'm using Adobe RGB 1998 but for web use I always want it in sRGB for better colors online, on various users screens.

Thank you again!
