Cropping Action for Portrait & Lanscape Images

I've bought a digital photo frame and need to crop hundreds of photos to 600x800 or 800x600 depending on the orientation. That is, I'd like to put landscape and portrait oriented photos in the same folder and batch process them. I know how to use the Image Processor (CS3) with a recorded Action to batch process a folder but I'm having trouble knowing how to create this action because of the orientation issue.

My first reaction was to use image/image size but can't get a single Action to work for both orientations. Any help would be much appreciated by me now and my mother at Christmas!

Are you sure you want to crop? I suspect you want to resize instead.

Also, you do not need to worry about the orientation since you only need to ensure that the longest side not exceed 800.

Use File>Automate>Fit Image and set the height and width to 800.

Ensure your preferences are set to Bicubic Sharper.

Yes, I should have used resize, not crop. I'll try Fit Image tonight. Thank-you.
