I also posted this in another newsgroup, so my apologies if you’ve already seen this question.

okay, sounds simple, but I don’t think it is. Here’s what I need to do.

I need a way to resize one image to match another. Neither one of the two images in question be the same each time. I also want to build this into an action.

I want to be able to pull ANY image (let’s lable this image A) from any folder and then pull ANY second image (let’s call this image B) from a specific folder. Image B will need to be resized to match the exact size of Image A. Image B will then be copy/pasted onto Image A.

I say this because the resizing could take place after I copy and paste image B. I just can’t figure this out.

here’s what I’ve tried so far when recording the action:

Image B = click "image"
"image size"
then click "window"
then choose image A
click OK in image size window

results: works for the particular image, but on secondary runs, will only size image B to fit the original image A. apparently the image size window records the pixel information and not the choices I made on clicking the image A in the window.

Image B=clicked on Fit Image, but this will only allow me a specific size. I want to be able to fit image A to 100%, so this won’t work.

Image B = copy
click image A, Paste
"control" "T" to resize.
pull to full size of Image A to cover entire image.

results: again, works for THAT specific image, but with others of different size, will not work.

Please. anyone? anyone? 🙂

really, any ideas? I’ll laugh if this is a simple solution!!!

TIA!!

I am assuming both images are landscape oriented, or both are portrait oriented, failing which distorsions will take place.
Why don’t you resize BOTH images to a given size, say 1024×681 (681×1024) or else ?
