Hi.
So I have like 90 screenshots that I need to edit/cut to a specific size.
I want to edit the first one (so I crop it to taste) and batch-edit the rest with the same settings.
Any idea of how I could do this?
Thanks!
How to crop a bunch of screenshots to the same dimensions?

If you have Photoshop it has a great batch processor. Super easy.

GraphicConverter (from Lemke) also has a batch processor. But I assume you're talking about batch resizing, not batch cropping -- the app will not know where to apply the crop, even if it knows the resulting image dimension.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I was hoping for something like Preview. AFAIS, it lets one mass-resize but not mass-crop.

I actually want the same cropping applied to all the screenshots, based on the first shot.bayswater wrote:GraphicConverter (from Lemke) also has a batch processor.

Re: How to crop a bunch of screenshots to the same dimension
Batch crop where the same start and end points of the crop would be applied to all the images -- GraphicConverter will do this. You can define the top left of the image, and then the width and height and apply to a selected set of jpeg images. The operation is lossless, so the sizes have to conform to the sampling used to create the jpeg. In this case, must be divisible by 8 or 16. There doesn't seem to be a crop operation for other image formats. This used to be shareware and would do some stuff for free. Maybe will still.

The GraphicConverter site says you can try for free. I missed the suggestion by Bays in last line before I posted.
