Thanks for this post, it helped me a lot. I post to blogs using apple mail and the postie plugin of wordpress. It works great except image resizing. So this post just comes in handy.

About image size, After your SCALE IMAGES action, you can add a CHANGE TYPE OF IMAGES action, which allow you to switch to JPEG. I have noticed improvements of about 40% in file size.

My 5c.

Thanks Hrududu; Resize! is an old app (dated 2004), so I'm not sure it is seeing any active development. Oddly Apple includes an Automator action to compress the images within the passed PDF files, but not images alone.

The downside is the resultant resized images are not compressed enough and are still way too large (in file size) than they would be had I resized them with an external application.

I use Resize! to batch resize AND compress images. Apple seems to have forgotten the compression side of things.

Still, I use Automator regularly for other stuff and it really is a cool way to get dross things done.
