Have you ever wished that your Mac would update its location automatically on the basis of the network that you're currently connected to?

Pixer (Free Mac Program).

Pixer is an application that helps you to scale (or rotate, add pad and, crop) PNG, JPG, Tiff, PSD , BMP or PICT images in batch (RAW support, only for Leopard users, is still in beta).

Drag an image, a group of images or a folder into Pixer and type the size you want (for example 500 for 500 pixel): Pixer will resize them to the desired size.

That's all!

USAGE

  • Hint 1: leaving the input window blank will create icons for the images without resizing them.
  • Hint 2: Pixer preserves transparency when creating an icon from a 24 bit PNG (for PNG 24bit, Pixer icon abilities preserve transparency!)?
  • Hint 3: you can use letters instead of numbers: H for 800 pixel, M for 480 pixel, L for 305 pixel and T for 80 pixel. If you use letters instead of numbers, Pixer will insert a standard prefix and postfix in the name of image (image.jpg becomes H_image_1.jpg).
  • Hint 4: to scale an image by percentage, just type the percentage (e.g: 50%, 74%, 16% etc) and Pixer will scale the image by that percentage.
  • Hint 5: to rotate an image just type the rotation degrees (e.g: 90°, 45° etc ).
  • Hint 6: to flip the image horizontally type "fh", to it vertically type "fv".
  • Hint 7: to crop or pad use two dimensions (e.g "1440x900" instead of "1440").
  • Now you can choose color pad (Leopard only).
  • Hint 8: the Jpeg button converts the non-jpeg images into jpeg images. You can use Jpeg ability with all others features.
