Hello..
Hoping to explain this well enough to make sense in regards to what I'm trying to achieve.
I have about 1,000 product images that need resizing to a specific height & base guideline.
While I can quickly resize each image manually and save out with some actions, I'd like to try and batch this.
The part I'm trying to figure how to automate is the resizing.
If a self election is made, is there an action or known script what will resize the image so the hieght & base of the detected pixels/selection will snap & resize to the guidelines?
Hope this makes sense, thanks in advance!
IMG-01 would represent a product that needs resizing
IMG-02 would be the end results

When you say base, do you mean width? If so, are the images of different aspect ratios? If they are do they need cropping, or just sized to the longest or shortest side. Can you show a screen shot of how your file is set up with the guides?

I have posted two scripts that may help.
The scripts could be combined into a larger script, or you could reference them in an action and use action steps to refine and work with the results of the scripts.

If the images can be isolated using select image or a luminosity or channel or colour selection or mask, then this can still be easily automated.

Many thanks for your time & efforts with this. I will say this scripts is in the right direction, the only thing is it resizes and constraints to the vertical guides. The image should resize to the top & bottom horizontal guides. Please let me know if I can help clarify further what I'm trying to achieve, thank you!

I have edited JJMack's script to resize on the width, rather than the height.
I think it will depend on whether the layer content is portrait or landscape orientation...

Great, glad to be of help! What did you end up doing, making a combined script, or referencing the scripts in an action and then processing with added action steps? What is the step by step workflow of the script or action?

Help is an understatement 🙂 I'm using a mix of Actions with the Script. I have a template with guides to fit a specific composition/s.. With the script, I copied a masked selection > pasted over to the template. Rotating the canvas +90 before running the script hacked it just fine > Ran the script > Rotated back -90 before export.
The only bump is with longer objects (bench vs pole) that need to fit within the left & right vertical lines, but would then need to be moved up so it touches the top guideline - Update* With some actions, sizing down the image to the guidelines and replating it with a clr > pasting the image > script > aligning to the the top > resize canvas to needed image size.
