Hi,
I have a range of images in different sizes that I need to resize to a perfect 128 x 128px square thumb for web. Is there an automate action that will do this while constraining proportions and centering on the image? I’ve tried ‘Image Fit’ but it constrains the original image and won’t force a square. Logically, this is probably not possible through an automate process is it? I’d have to resize each image individually? I have about 800 images to process, so a quick fix would be ideal? Jeanne

You can follow the Fit Image (128×128) operation with a Canvas Size 128×128 choosing to centre the image.

Record (and name) the actions ‘resize’ and ‘save into dir’ on one of the images.

go file>batch file>pick the action you named
