Image Resolution change and Resize

[grandwheatgrass]

I have just begun working with Script Master. So far all I have done has been to send an HTML email (which worked great!). I have a question to see if script master can solve through Java, or if someone knows of another way to achieve the results I am looking for.

People using my database will be importing picture profiles for each record from a camera. [color:red]These files are quite large and I am looking to have the image size smaller so that the database will respond better over the network.

I have been searching for a solution that would allow me to change the resolution of a picture imported into FileMaker. Those using my filemaker database are very low-tech people. I have created an apple action that they can drag the file onto first and it will resize the image to whatever they want it to be before they import it to filemaker, but that doesn't solve the problem for those on windows.

Is there any way through script master or through another solution to resize pictures? I can use plugins, but only free options. THANKS!

SuperContainer would do exactly what you are looking for. It isn't free, but depending on how important this functionality is it may be worth looking in to.

I'm afraid my response will not satisfy you as it does not involve free software. But here it goes anyway ;-)

What you're describing is exactly the use-case for our SuperContainer product http://360works.com/supercontainer/

it will resize automatically by default to the size of your web-viewer, you may also specify a particular height and width you desire.

Another option would be to contract us or another Java/Groovy developer to write an image resizing module for ScriptMaster. Java has pretty good image handling built in. But unless you need something very specific SuperContainer will be a much more cost effective route.

Let me know what you think.
