Save for Web Action that retains specific image size

[NinjaPuss]

I need to create an action that saves for web at a 850 x 655px.

When testing my action for the first time,  it shows in the save as dialog box, that the image has been reduced to that size in percentage. So it works ok.

However when testing the action on an image of different original ratio, it still reduces the percentage that was originally recorded, rather than just saving the image at 850 x 655, which gives me a different image size.

Does anyone know how I can retain the 850x655 image size each time?

Thanks

Maybe is possible to try write a script like this:

1. calculate the required image scale based on its size
2. run action, substituting calculated values

Are all your images proportional to your final size? It's possible to make your export that size, but if your h/w ratio is different than your final size, you will have some kind of extra whitespace.

Thanks for your reply. The images I'm starting with are the same in ratio (I have ensured this when cropping)  just bigger in size.

NinjaPuss, is this what you need?
