The hardest part is getting images into Address Book and the script works nicely for that. I'm happy to see others extending it for other purposes. That’s a great use I hadn’t thought of.

I customized it to use employee photos from our company (which luckily are provided on an internal website) instead of gravatar as a source, giving an even higher hit rate :-) Awesome, thanks for the script!

There's a link at the bottom of that post to download the complete script application. You should be able to open that in Script Editor to get some ideas on how to set an Address Book picture. @Steven, Be sure to see my newer post titled Gravatar, AppleScript, and the OS X Address Book Revisited.

I started working on one of my own back when the iPhone first came out. But my iPhone programming skills need to increase a bit more to make it a reality. :-) Thanks for mentioning the iPhone app. I’ve tried a couple such apps, and unfortunately, don’t really like any all that well so far.

If there isn't a gravatar image you can choose from a variety of place-holder sets.

If you look at the scripts I've posted you should be able to find many of the parts to make it happen. That should be doable, Kirk.

I have a large list (200-300) that I imported into address book. Worked great, I have all the information I need. The 'note' field contains the name of a JPG (A2299.JPG). I have all the JPG files. Is it possible to write a script that will combine the information in order to assign the picture to the correct contact? I realize it can be done manually, but I was hoping to automate. Thanks!

That's an interesting idea, though. I hadn't realized Google was indexing those images. I was looking into expanding my script to also grab Twitter and Facebook images. I'll have to consider what Google has too. Got any links for details about what they're doing? I’m not aware of anything that does that. That’s an interesting idea, though.
