There is a folder with sub-folder that is full of images. Sub-folders have portrait and landscape images.

Can anyone suggest how I can automate to segregate landscape and portrait images separately using actions/scrips?

I want to keep the folder structure the same as the source folder

Make 3 actions:

- segregate

- landscape

- portrait

Insert a conditional step in the segregate action as shown here:

have it run landscape if landscape and else run portrait.

then run the action on the folder while having "process sub folders" checked. Bob's your uncle. 🙂

Thanks Uncle Bob,

Unfortunately, I am not able to understand what you are suggesting. Should I first create 3 independent actions—

  1. Segregate
  2. Landscape
  3. Portrait

If yes, can you please tell me what action should I record in them?

After creating these 3, I should make another action comprising all these 3.

Finally, I should use the Image Processor command to batch process the whole process? Am I right?

 

If not, it would be great to me help, if you could just give me action jsx file and I will highly appreciate your effort for kind help

Always create a new Action Set. Save the Action Set/s to .atn file.

 

Actions added to the Default Actions Set will eventually be lost as it is designed to reload/replace itself to restore the factory default actions. This is not the Set to create new Actions, except for temporary ones that you are OK with losing.

 

The Segregate action will contain the inserted conditional action step for either Landscape or Portrait orientation. It will then call/run one of the two other actions.

 

The Portrait and Landscape actions will contain separate processing steps for each orientation.

 

An example form a different recent discussion, the Portrait step isn't shown:

I don't have the time to create the solution, my apologies.

 

If it's just about filtering them out, and not about applying a modification, you can also do it in Bridge.

It has an orientation (square/portrait/landscape) filter. Like that you don't need an action or jsx file.

 

If that doesn't work for you, Stephen's explanation is a good clarification as well.
