Im looking for a script that can record in a text file (preferably excel sheet) what the width and hieght is of a image file at a specifc give size. It the operation could batch for all images in a folder that would be ideal. 

Ex.1
Image File: 6x4
at 45": 45x30
at 36": 36x24
at 26": 26x17


Im not even sure if something like this can be made but  any assistance to finding a answer would be greatly appriciated!

There are five common methods for extracting/exporting metadata from one or more files to a comma separated value (.csv) or tab delimited text file.

ExifTool – by Phil Harvey:

An example of using ExifTool to write all metadata to a .csv file on the desktop using the source directory titled “test” on the desktop (the following code would be entered into Terminal.app on the Mac or the Command Prompt in MS Windows):

 

exiftool -r -all -csv '/Users/loggedinusername/Desktop/test' > '/Users/loggedinusername/Desktop/metadata-out.csv'

 

This code is formatted for the Mac OS, MS Windows would use straight double quote marks “ and the expected \ file path formatting. 

 

Of course, the flipside of exporting metadata is to import metadata, which is also a feature of ExifTool. For an Adobe Bridge solution, try the VRA Panel Export-Import Tool or Paul Riggott’s Do It Yourself Metadata Input script (also here) and for Photoshop there is Keywords from CSV from Mars Premedia.

I was actually able to find a script that gave me the information on a image in a .csv format (https://www.marspremedia.com/software/photoshop/images-report) . From there I was able to maniplate the the data to get my expected results!
