Question

Resize to Guidelines

Hello..

Hoping to explain this well enough to make sense in regards to what I'm trying to achieve.

I have about 1,000 product images that need resizing to a specific height & base guideline.

While I can quickly resize each image manually and save out with some actions, I'd like to try and batch this.

The part I'm trying to figure how to automate is the resizing.

If a self election is made, is there an action or known script what will resize the image so the hieght & base of the detected pixels/selection will snap & resize to the guidelines?

Hope this makes sense, thanks in advance!

IMG-01 would represent a product that needs resizing

IMG-02 would be the end results

I have edited JJMack's script to resize on the width, rather than the height.

I think it will depend on whether the layer content is portrait or landscape orientation...

Stephen, Amazing! Thank you Sir, you have helped save serious time. Very much Appreciated!

Great, glad to be of help! What did you end up doing, making a combined script, or referencing the scripts in an action and then processing with added action steps? What is the step by step workflow of the script or action?

Stephen Marsh

I have posted two scripts that may help.

The scripts could be combined into a larger script, or you could reference them in an action and use action steps to refine and work with the results of the scripts.

Stephen, thank you very much for your response. As mentioned to Chuck, I've uploaded a couple images to better explain what I'm trying to achieve. I wouldn't need the edges of the whole image to meet the guidelines, rather the actual picture of the product. So if the BG has a solid color, it would need to detect the pixels of the product, and then resize the highest & lowest edges of the actual product to meet at the guidelines. Please let me know if this makes sense or not, thank you!

If the images can be isolated using select image or a luminosity or channel or colour selection or mask, then this can still be easily automated.

A script to add guides to selection bounds:

// Add Guides to Selection Bounds.jsx
//feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/add_guides_to_a_selection

#target Photoshop

main();
function main(){
if(!documents.length) return;
var startRulerUnits = preferences.rulerUnits;
try{
preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS 
var SB = activeDocument.selection.bounds;
}catch(e){return;}
guideLine(SB[1].value,"Hrzn"); 
guideLine(SB[3].value,"Hrzn"); 
guideLine(SB[0].value,"Vrtc"); 
guideLine(SB[2].value,"Vrtc"); 
preferences.rulerUnits = startRulerUnits; 
}
function guideLine(position, type){
var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
desc2.putUnitDouble( app.charIDToTypeID ('Pstn'), app.charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), position );
desc2.putEnumerated( app.charIDToTypeID('Ornt'), app.charIDToTypeID('Ornt'), app.charIDToTypeID(type) );

When you say base, do you mean width? If so, are the images of different aspect ratios? If they are do they need cropping, or just sized to the longest or shortest side. Can you show a screen shot of how your file is set up with the guides?

Hi Chuck, thank you for your response. I've uploaded a couple images to my post to better explain what I'm trying to achieve. The image resolution would remain the same. It's mainly resizing the product in the image to the guides.
