from PIL import Image
import glob, os

scale = 0.5

for infile in glob.glob( "*.png" ):
    file, ext = os.path.splitext( infile )

    im = Image.open( infile )
    im = im.resize( ( int( im.size[ 0 ] * scale ), int( im.size[ 1 ] * scale ) ) )

    im2 = Image.new( "RGB", im.size )
    im2.paste( im )
    im2.save( file + "_color.jpg", "JPEG" )

    im3 = Image.new( "L", im.size )
    im3.paste( im.split()[ 3 ] )
    im3.save( file + "_alpha.png", "PNG" )
