Action Involving Longest Side?

I've created an Action that involves expanding the canvas by a fixed percentage of the longest side of the image. The images to be processed are of varying dimensions and some are longest on the horizontal side while the others are longest on the vertical side. I currently have the action pause during the resizing so that I can manually indicated whether to use the horizontal or vertical dimension as the basis for the percentage canvas expansion. This is not very satisfactory. Is there a way to fully automate the action and always have the canvas expansion be based on a percentage of the longest side of the image, regardless of whether it's a vertical or horizontal image?

Look into menu: File - Automate - Fit Image

Hi there,

I have uploaded a set of scripts to the adobe studio exchange which will resize images in proportion to their long or short sides.

Look for scripts with my name on them.

Hope this helps.

Thanks! Perfect. I can't believe I never realized that was there.
