Introduction to the Mac's own Automator software

Automator is a Mac comes with a software, many people do not know what to do, in fact, as long as the software it can be your personal small secretary, can help you rename piles of files, the size of a batch of photos to the IPhoto slide show settings, automatic production of iCal events, and other transactions that help streamline your workflow. Next we'll learn how to modify the file name with Automator amount.

Start Automator (You can find it in the/applications directory, or Launchpad)

The first step lets you choose "Document Type", we choose "Application", of course, you can also choose "Workflow" (ie Workflow) or "service" (Finder right-click menu), but in terms of current needs, we need to select the target file, so the choice of "application" is more reliable.

To the editing interface, we can find the "ask for Finder items" and "copy Finder items" two actions in the "Library"-"files and folders" to the right blank area, in the "Request Finder Project "in advance to set the default image storage directory, so every time the APP will be automatically positioned in this directory to select images, we can cooperate with Hazel to manage all kinds of pictures, this will be much easier.

The most critical step is to find the "scale images" in the "library"-"photos" and drag it to the last position on the right, and in "Zoom image", select "to Size (pixels)" and fill in the default pixel values.

At this point, the app is finished, we hold the "option" key in the menu bar, see "Save as" appears and click, Save as "application can".

There is a flaw in the above case, that is, each time the image size batch processing, the target pixel value is the default, you need to make the corresponding APP according to requirements in advance.
