Batch Editing Non Typical Photos

New Here ,

I have about 400 portrait photos of employees.  In the Microsoft program we will be uploading them to for profile pics, there is not zoom or resize function, so it needs to be perfectly centered in the photoshop process.  I have a guide layer that i turn on to see how the photos will fall in Microsoft, move/zoom the image accordingly and then i hide the guid layer, save it and move on to the next.  

 

I want to batch edit the photos, however they are all at different focal lengths, so people's heads need to be zoomed in/out, moved left or right accordingly.  Is there a way to practically triangluate where i want the eyes and top of the head and shoulders of the subject to fall within the guide layer, or is photoshop not quite there yet?

 

thank you in advance.

Hi @InkaDoodle, I see it's been a few days without any replies. Sorry about that! It seems possible in Photoshop to record an action using a guide layer that targets the head region, possibly using the Transform Tool or similar to get it centered or adjusted to zoom. You could run an action doing what you want with one photo, then play it back on a second and third as a test. If it's working, use Batch editing by applying that action to a larger group. Hopefully others here will have more advice
