Is there a way to resize the document but keep the aspect ratio of the content?

[thx1138]

With scripting there is currentDocument.resizeImage() and currentDocument.resizeCanvas(). The resizeImage() method will stretch the image. The resizeCanvas() will resize the canvas but not change the size of the image.

I'm looking to resize the canvas to a new size but keep the aspect ratio of the content. Is there a way to do this?

Hi,

The ratio can be maintained when you resize the image but not the canvas.

Hi Chetna,

Thanks. The scripting engine does not appear to have that option. Here are the options in the Photoshop CS5 JavaScript Ref:

Moving the thread to Photoshop Scripting for further assistance.

OK I got it working!

                        adjustedWidth = width;

                        adjustedHeight = height;

                        if (imageAspectRatio > targetAspectRatio) {

                            adjustedHeight = width / imageAspectRatio;

                        }

                        else {

                            adjustedWidth = height * imageAspectRatio;

                        }

                        currentDocument.resizeImage(adjustedWidth, adjustedHeight, null, resampleMethod);

                        currentDocument.resizeCanvas(width, height, AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER);
