I’m trying to create a resize droplet, but I’m running a problem.

I just want to reduce the size of a bunch of my pictures. They are all the same resolution/dimentions. When I create an action to do this it works on all the ones that are oriented one way, but PS rotates the others and applies the reduction to the wrong side

If I havn’t been clear above, here is an example:

Pictures have the resolution of 3264px X 2448px. I create an action that reduces the 3264px to 800px (and automatically changes 2448px to 600px). But some pictures it recognizes as being vertically oriented and applys the reduction to the 2448px side resulting in a 800px X 1067px picture.

Is there another way I should be doing this? Anyhelp would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi Josh,

If you go to the Adobe Studio exchange site you will find some scripts in the Photoshop section that will resize images in proportion to their size regardless of their orientation.

I uploaded a couple of script sets a while back that do just this. If you do a search on my name in the Photoshop section ;

you should find them OK. There are scripts by others which you could also try out. The only thing to watch, is that some scripts will only run on the version of Photoshop they were created on. None of them will run on version older than PS7 and not many of them will run on that version.

You can also use the "Fit Image" option in the automate menu, and CS and CS2 also have an image processor script supplied with them that have a resize option.

Hope this helps.

Looks like that will work. Thanks for pointing me to it. Unfortunatley their register new user isn’t working right now, so I’ll have to wait to find out.
Thanks again
