Question

match size of multiple layers

Trying to make a lot of images, all on different layers, the same size. They're the same aspect ration, but I can NOT figure out how to make them all the same size...? Transform only seems to give percentage, not pixel dimension.

thanks

    Good question, this is one of those things that is there but easily missed. On the PC do a

    1. ctrl T to transform your layer
    2. click the chain icon(maintain aspect ratio)
    3. right click on the width and change that from percent to another unit 

    You can also do this quicker by instead doing a ctrl T, then entering for a value in your width followed by the units abbreviation(eg: px), to force this to pixels. I do find it annoying that you have to continuosly keep clicking on the maintain aspect ration, but if you have many of these to do, I suggest recording an action.

    Just to let you know, if you right click on the width or height, it will give you a drop down menu and you can choose a different measurement other than percentage.

    That could be done in a script.  However making images layers the same pixel size will not make image have the same scale unless there were all shot with the same focal length  lens and focused at the same distance.  You also wrote all the layer are the same size so I don't understand what your question is in reality.

    Oh, an action? But transform only gives me percentages... All the images are 3:2, but pixel dimensions are different. I would like to make them all the same (say 600x400). Even an action would have to be applied to each layer individually (which would be ok, if I could figure how to set it up!)

    thanks
