Hi There,
I've managed to create a droplet that will normalise a set of images that we are publishing to the intertubes. My issue however, is that i have different orientation of images, if the style is landscape then i need to fix the width to 650 in the resize, but if it's a portrait image it's the height that needs to be fixed at 400.
How can i create a droplet that will allow this level of inspection? ie, if image is landscape go one path (ie fixing the width) if portrait then go the other (fix height). Is this possible? |

The simplest solution is to write two actions, one for landscape and one for portrait then separate the images into two folders..
It can be done with a script, obviously that's more complicated. If you don't know how to write your own, you may be able to find a script that will do what you want, try Google. But you'll still likely need to alter it to the size you desire. |

i've written two droplets, one for portrait and landscape already.. it's sorting the images that i'm having trouble with. You see, i'm being sent tens of thousands of images for publication to the net... i really don't want to have to go through them one by one  |

In Windows explorer open the folder, click on View-Arrange Icons By-Dimensions.
That will sort them for you. |

"Image Processor" in both Photoshop or Bridge will do this for you automatically. (the script is already written) Put a check mark in the "resize to fit" check box and then put in those dimensions. 650 X 400. It will always resize the image to the shortest dimension giving you exactly what you want and you will not have to sort.
