AppleScript - replace substring in image names right after exporting them with Pixelmator and overwriting old images
After opening and editing images with Pixelmator pro I use this script: tell application "Pixelmator Pro" set exportLocation to choose folder with prompt "Please select where you'd like export the images:" repeat (number of documents) times export the front document to file ((exportLocation as text)...
After opening and editing images with Pixelmator pro I use this script: tell application "Pixelmator Pro" set exportLocation to choose folder with prompt "Please select where you'd like export the images:" repeat (number of documents) times export the front document to file ((exportLocation as text) & (name of the front document) & ".jpg") as JPEG with properties {compression factor:85} close the front document without saving end repeat end tell to export them to the directory where the original images are. The original image names are abc.jpg, def.jpg, ghi.jpg and after export it creates new images with those names: abc.pxd.jpg, def.pxd.jpg, ghi.pxd.jpg How can I save the JPGs under their old name (abc.jpg, def.jpg, ghi.jpg) and overwrite the existing file?

So I thought to iterate the 1000 files, from terminal, and change the format from jpg to HEIC. When I tried this, the HEIC file is 142K and the originl jpg is 400K. So a win win?? But how can I iterate the files, use ML Super Resolution, and save the file to a new HEIC format?

Question about using an automator to apply pixelmator watermark
I have a 13in Mac Book Pro High Sierra and just purchased 3.7 Pixelmator. I am making an automator to place a watermark in bulk of photos and no matter the size of the watermark text, it comes out small after applying the automator, how can I get it to keep the size I created the text in Pixelmator?...

I just created a simple watermark with a text layer on top of a transparent background saved as a png file.

Woke up this morning, and 3 apps are not working. Pixelmator, FCPX and Motion all are getting the same message, e.g., “Pixelmator” is damaged and can’t be opened. Delete “Pixelmator” and download it again from the App Store. As a test, I tried deleting Pixelmator, and downloading it again, but I get the same message. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, because I have a lot of editing to do!
