# The Scriptable Image Processing System (SIPS)
Command-line tool shipped by default with Mac OS X which allows basic image manipulation.<br/>
Think [ImageMagick], but not as powerful.
Used to query or modify raster image files (JPG/GIF/PNG) and ColorSync ICC profiles.<br/>
Image processing options include flip, rotate, and change image format/width/height.
Its functionality can be used through the "Image Events" AppleScript suite, and supports executing JavaScript to either modify or generate images.
