[…] I need to scale and optimize images for the web quite often. So I was especially dissapointed to find that the built in action for scaling an image is not that great at getting the file size down. I found iMagine Photo Scale To and it works great. The only downside is that you need to load the iMagine Photo application. Good news is that it’s all free and you can pick it up at http://www.automatorworld.com/archives/imagine-photo-scale-to/ […]
