Batch resizing different aspect ratios

[giorgosd53170850]

Hello, I want to resize a batch of images in Photoshop and have the long edge same pixels for both vertical and horizontal images.  I can't find a solution to resize them by “Long Edge” as it is on Lightroom. So if I create an action where I set the height to 2700 pixels (long edge of verticals) all the horizontal ones will be a lot higher in pixels. Is there any workaround?

You can record the fit image command into an action with 2700px set for both width and height. This can then be run via the batch command.

You also have the same option in the Image Processor script or the add on Image Processor Pro script.

Thanks for the reply, what you mean with fit image command? I can't find it. I'm trying to install image processor Pro without success.

File > Automate > Fit Image.

It's a special script that allows the values entered to be captured by an action recording just like native features are recorded.

The standard Image Processor script that ships with Photoshop might be enough for you.

Image Processor Pro does require special manual installation from the .zip file (avoid the .zxp method).

I should mention that Adobe Camera Raw which can also batch save JPEG and TIFF. Input formats as well.

Finally, there are conditional actions where you can run different resizing actions on images that are portrait vs. landscape.
