Hey Ehster, thanks for this link. I believe the one I'd posted was:
http://www.macosxtips.co.uk/index_files/access-extra-preview-features-through-automator.html#unique-entry-id-148
From what I'd gleaned at a glance of the url in your note they're
the same result but just with a different method of going about it.
Thanks for the info and have a great weekend!…
Smiles,
Cara :)

Hi Shaun,

You can create a batch resizing tool yourself in Automator -- at
least one
that will work in pixels. Follow the instructions on this web page:
(How to Batch Resize Images Without a Photo-Editing Program on Your
Mac)
http://www.ehow.com/PrintArticle.html?id=2101532
Instead of "dragging" just double-click the actions that you select to
add them to the workflow (hold down VO-keys+shift and tap your
space bar twice). When I select the "Rename Finder Items" action
I only need to press enter to get the "Copy Finder Items" action added
as a default when I double-click on "Rename Finder Items" -- I don't
need to "Click Add" as they describe on the warning menu that comes
up -- just the carriage return works.
I would save this as a plug-in so that you can access the result
from a
contextual menu when you're done.
Since this works for me (even in Tiger), you should have no problems
setting this up as an Automator action under Leopard. You can set the
resizing to be in pixels or in per centage size, but not inches.
You might be able to modify this under Leopard, because I think there
are also ways to handle image resizing using Preview, but I don't know
more about this.
Post back if you have problems.
Cheers,
Esther
