[kool-Aid]

Does anyone know of a good program for MAC that resizes batches of images. Does Adobe bridge or lightbox do this?

I think most Mac's ship with a GraphicConverter bundle, which could do it also. (Do a search on your Mac for GraphicConverter) http://www.lemkesoft.com/xd/public/content/index._cGlkPTE5Mw_.html

I was pissed to find that Imageready wasn't dropped from CS3. Not caused I used the program all that much, but found its droplets for batch processing much easier than Photoshop's.

I did start playing with Fireworks batch processor and holy cow is it easier than either of the aforementioned applications!

In the Terminal, if you type sips -Z size infile.ext -o --out outfile.ext where size is the desired length of the longer side (in pixels), infile.ext is the source file, and outfile.ext is the result.

Note that you can also resize more than one image at once by using the command sips -Z size infile1.ext infile2.ext infile3.ext ... --out outdir/ where outdir/ is the output folder (you can also resize all of the images in a folder by replacing infile1.ext infile2.ext infile2.ext ... with indir/*, if all of your images are in indir/).

Bonus! It will autodetect the format from the file extension, so you can also use this to convert between image formats.
