Using PS 7 on OS X, having a tough time making 2 automated actions, I would like them to ultimately be able to be made into droplets as well. I see there are applescripts you can use,which is a option also, but I can not seem to figure out how to run those in batch

Problem #1
1000’s of images need to be thumbnailed, I need to have each image opened, cropped to a aquare 1:1 aspect ration, and then sized to 80 x 80 px. They may be portrait or landscape, and they will all be different sizes, I would like the crop to happen from both edges wqually.

Problme #2
First, run trim to tran pixels, then, crow the canvas to make the image square, so the smallest side == the largest side, no image distortion, just a canvas resize.

AppleScripting is the way to go. You can save a script as a droplet, which can be used for batching.

Anyone care to explain to me how to go about this in AppleScript?
