I have a folder containing many subfolders full of images. See attached image for example.
Basically I want to loop through them all and downsize the images so none are wider than 1024 pixels. They're all jpegs.
I'm aware of the SIPS commands i.e.
sips -Z 1024 *.png
However, that only works if all images are in the current directory.
How do I set it up to traverse through all subdirectories?
With terminal open, in the top menu, select Terminal => Preferences => Settings.
You can change to a number of color combos:
You can also use the mdfind command in order to perform a search with Spotlight.

Use mdfind -name searchterm in order to retrieve files with the name searchterm.
Use mdfind searchterm to perform a search on file name and content.

You can run it with find:
find images/path -type f -name '*.png' -exec sips -Z 1024 {} \;Find will search for files (-type f), with png extension (-name '*.png') inside 'images/path' directory and exec the command in parameter, replacing "{}" with the filename, you need to end the command with "\;".
