“I want robots for icons.” Those where the words of Steve Jobs as reported by Wired Magazine<\/a> when Jobs first witnessed Sal Soghoian demo a prototype of the little app now known as Automator. I actually got to see the beret-wearing Sal demo Automator myself in the \u201cSky Church\u201d of Seattle\u2019s MoPOP Museum<\/a>. It’s a stage usually reserved for rock stars\u2014but this time Apple reserved it for Sal to demo to a group of us pros the time-saving powers of Sal\u2019s Automator app. He proudly announced to us, \u201cThis is the only app on your Mac that actually makes you money! Because we save you time.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a big claim, but when you start digging into it, Automator\u2019s abilities to manipulate images (among many other things) really do save you time and money. So let\u2019s dig into 5 ways you can use Automator to manipulate images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Note: in all of these examples I\u2019m creating stand-alone Automator \u201cApplications.\u201d But you could also create a Quick Action as we explained before<\/a>, and access these features from a contextual menu.]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
