Image Reducer produces smaller images from larger ones through pixel consolidation and color averaging. You can choose to ignore a given background color from averaging thus producing smooth images with crisp edges that are not influenced by the images' background color. Image Reducer can reduce the dimensions of a single image or an entire folder of images. It can import and export any image format supported by QuickTime.

Image Reducer was designed to produce smooth game sprites that look good against any background.

Image Reducer is made with REALbasic® from REAL Software. REALbasic is a powerful, easy-to-use tool for creating software for Macintosh and Windows. For more information on REALbasic, visit their website at: http://www.realbasic.com

System Requirements:

- Macintosh computer
- Mac OS X or higher
- QuickTime 4.0 or higher
- REALbasic 5.0 or higher to use/compile source project

Terms of Use:

The Image Reducer program and it's REALbasic source project may be used freely for any purpose without restrictions. Having said that, if you find or fix any bugs or make improvements to the program, I'd appreciate seeing the changes so I can incorporate them back into this program. Of course, you're under no obligation to do so.

Note: The source project contains many, many classes, windows, and modules that provide a foundation for my programs and are normally stored externally. Not all of their functionality is used in this program but I've included them anyway. (I rely on RB to strip out the stuff that's not used.) You may use them freely. They include a decent multi-button alert system (does not rely upon standard alert), functions to recursively collect file data, functions to count colors in pictures, a graphics export class, you name it.

I hope you find the program and the code useful.

Best Regards,

Bob Steely
