Ability to Give Photoshop Two Sets of Batch Resize Criteria at One Time

When batch resizing currently, Photoshop can't tell if images are Landscape or Profile thus requiring images to be separated into wide and tall folders before processing each folder individually. It would be helpful if when batch processing to set a maximum width if a photo is wide and a maximum height if a photo is tall and have photoshop evaluate each and proportionally cut images down accordingly. A proportional setting is also nice to have when images are the same format but have different dimensions.

There is also the possibility of recording the File > Automate > Fit Image script into a Batch Action, specifying a maximum width and height to proportionally resize the longest edge to (with an optional setting to not upscale smaller images).

Try this:

  • First write two actions: one for Landscape and one for Portrait
  • Then write a Conditional action (panel menu)
    If Landscape, run the Landscape action
    Else, run the Portrait action

Then batch with the Conditional action
