Autos and macros

Question

Hello everyone, first of all, I apologize for any mistakes in my English, it's not my first language.

I need to ask a question. I'm used to using Actions to automate some tasks, but I need Actions or a script that would make it easier to automate certain processes.

Starting with a main photo, I need to save two files with two different names:

One file with the naming ending in _UN_1 And another file, which is a crop of the original file, with the naming ending in _UN_3.

Is that possible?

Yes, you're going to need a script as actions can't change variable filenames, unless you're running them via Automate > Batch.

More info on the crop is required. Is this based on fixed input sizes in pixels? Or is it variable based on % or aspect ratio? Where is the crop anchor point?

Option 1: The script can duplicate the doc with the desired names and your action would include the save location and file format options

Option 2: The script can save using the required names, location and file format options.
