D+iz+a+n+k+Meister's Journal: Good Job, Laptop!

I use my Titanium PowerBook mainly for two things:

Digital Performer for recording music and

CLI

Both of which are things you either know how to use or you don't; the quality of the OS doesn't really matter.

So I'm always pleasantly suprised when the computer performs a "consumer" task with the greatest of ease, thanks to the fine people at Apple. iPhoto works great.

Here's what I wanted to do:
I've got 84 raw images from a digital camera that I want to scale down from 1900x1900 or something to 640x480.

Import photos into iPhoto. I already had the images on the hard drive. Importing took about 5 minutes.

Apple-a to select all photos

File-Export from the file menu. Choose scale to 640x480. Choose JPG format. Click export. Select destination folder. Click choose.

2 minutes later, 84 scaled down pictures in the destination folder, ready to be emailed.

Whole operation took less than 10 minutes. I thought it would be longer since I would have to export each image individually. Too easy. Good job, laptop!
