Command Line Image Resizing On Mac

I was long looking for a quick way to resize images (without loading them into
iPhoto or what not). After digging into
Jason Molenda's
Makethumbs
I've finally found one.
'sips' which stands for "scriptable image processing system" comes
preinstalled on Mac OS X Tiger (man 1 sips) and can perfectly handle PNG and
JPEG files. Resizing is just as easy as:
[14:33 mac] ~ $ sips --resampleWidth 100 picture.jpg
Kewl! :-)
