This can be easily done in Automator 2.0.1. Let’s check it out, aye?

STEP 1

Open finder, and choose to create a custom list. On the far left in the “Actions” box, the Library section should already be expanded. Select Files & Folders, which will bring a different category to the next box on your right. Find “Rename Finder Items” and drag into onto the work flow. You should now get pop up asking if you want to throw a Copy Finder Items in there. You do. So click Add.

STEP 2

In the Copy Finder Items area, choose where you want to save your re-sized files. Moving down in the Rename Finder Items, choose Add Text from the drop-down and use something to indentify your resized images (I used “RESIZED”. The Irony.);

STEP 3

Go back to your far left, under the library expansion and select Photos. Now scroll all the way down and you’ll see Scale Images. Drag it onto the workflow. You’ll get asked again if you want to put a Copy Finder Items in the equation, but this time you don’t because we already copied them. So click Don’t Add. Now in the Scale Images portion of the work flow, let’s select percentage from the drop-down list, then enter 50 in the text area beside it. This will resize your images to half of their original size (of course.)

STEP 4

Go to File > Save as Plugin, name your Resizer (I prefer “Resizer”) and click save. Now select a group of your pictures that you want to resize, command-click (or “right-click”) and go to More > Automator > Resizer - and that’s that.

“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What’s that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you’re too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating …and you finish off as an orgasm.”

If it’s “I before E, except after C” then isn’t “SCIENCE” a huge grammatical error?

Don’t ever let a heartbreak ever slow you down. Do what this guy does, or if your games not up to par, just be thankful that you don’t look like an uncircumsized penis with buck teeth, like these little fellas.

If that didn’t do you in, or if you’re more ahead of the game, CakeFarts.com is sure to achieve something. If that fails, you’re definitely a worthless piece of shit. Until next time.
