[ddphotograph]

Hi, i have 2 images identical headshots. 1 colour, 1 black and white. the client wants the pictures zoomed in cropped identical sizes, any idea how i can do this?

You could record an Action cropping one and then run it on the other. 

Or Load Files into Stack, crop that and then save out the two cropped images. 

Or …

Put them both into the same file on top of each other and crop, saving each layer as a different file.

In addition to Melissa's suggestion would suggest using layer comps. You can then use file >> export >> layer Comps to files. The advantage is you will not have to rename your files for each revision, and with one command you can save all your final files. 

I also pull out guides to the face edges of my hero positioning, so I can scale and positon all images similarly.
