Batch crop images ... how?

I have a ton of images that need to be trimmed 10pixels from all sides ... how can I do this quick and painful?

how exactly?

Automator, as mentioned, can make short work of these kinds of tasks. Have you used Automator before? It's actually quite easy.

1. Tell Automator where to get the stuff to work on (files, songs, etc.)
2. Tell Automator which actions to perform on the above items, by dragging things from the left pane into your workflow
3. Run it.

Have a look through the available actions - I believe Preview can crop images, and there's a built-in Automator action for doing this.

Thanks, but I only see options to crop to a certain size, not trim a certain amount of pixels from the edges.

Should I first separate the photos that are in landscape and portrait mode then ... ?

I found a third-party Automator Action that might help you. Have a look here.

I can't download it ... 'Safari can't find the server'

Nevermind, I manually separated the landschape/portrait photos and used the built-in Automator actions from there.

Thanks wrldwzrd89 & angelwatt!
