17.3. Cropping and Resizing Images

Another common scenario is having someone walk up to you and say, "Hey, I've got these 300 images that I need resized to 400×400 pixels, can you do that? By tonight?" or, "Hey, here's 500 images, can you crop them so that none of them are wider than 300 pixels? Okay thanks!"

In the world of image manipulation, there are few tasks more mundane, boring, or repetitive than resizing images. Luckily, you've got a whole bunch of great automation tools at your disposal.
