resize picture in placeholder

[HenLo]

Hi,  I'm creating a document with a number of placeholders to insert pictures. The placeholders are rectangular in landscape format but the pictures I want to insert can also be in portrait format.

Is there a possibility to resize the pictures automatically so that they fit in the placeholder whatever the format of the pictures is?

Thanks in advance.

No-one has a solution ?

Before that question can be answered, you need to decide whether to crop, to squeeze, or to fit with two empty sides.

There are plenty ways to do each, but you need to decide.

Hello,

I want to fit the image with 2 empty sides.
Thanks in advance

In that case, use File > Automate > Fit Image. Enter the pixel dimensions of your placeholder. You can put that in an action and batch it, to do them all in one go.

Thank you very mucht for the suggestion. This means that I have to transform all the pictures before including them to my basic canvas.

What I'm actually looking for is a possibility to drag-and-drop a file from for ex. windows explorer into a placeholder and that it's fitting automaticly without modifying the original file. 

Kind regards
