Image resizing

[Bob Delareuelle]

Hi everyone.

My name is Bob, i run a stock photography site, (BlueMoonStock.com).
I am looking for a program that can resize Jpegs images in a batch process. The trick is I need it to figure out which dimension is the longest and make the image to a specified height or width with out me having to separate the verticals from the horizontals. The softwear needs to be able to process thousands on images at a time and resize them to fit into a pre designed box size on our web site (the comp size on our web site).
I would appreciate any leads you can give me. I work on a Mac OSX.

Thanks

I don't know if my reply is the one you want, but I'll give it a try. Process could be:

1. pass required max width and height to this routine
2. Do until last image processed:

a. read size of image and calculate shrink percentage for both horizontal and vertical sizes to keep same hor/vert ratio as original
b. re-size the image to new proportions
c. save the resized image to ?

I don't exactly know how to batch process this, but if you mean: start and it runs without user interaction, that can be done.
