SOLVED by Stephen_A_Marsh: Image Crop Auto Batch Not Cropping All Images

[melodyey51486715]

I tried about 50 times unsuccessfully to create a new action to crop an image to 700x700.  All the images to be cropped are the same size.

The batch action will only crop the first image in the folder and the rest remain the original size. 

I'm ready to scream!

I've googled this and watched other's video and still it will not crop all my images.

I'd appreciate any help you can provide on this. Made a video of one of the attempts - https://www.loom.com/share/1a6fe2b8f459497c8d133d42d0d4efe9

Thank you.

Can you post a screenshot of the action with all steps expanded/visible?

[melodyey51486715]

Yes. https://cl.ly/b314ab Thanks.

You need to remove the open step from the action, which is why only one image is being processed. The batch command will open the files.

The size that crop will be depends on the size and aspect ratio of the image being cropped.  There is nothing recorded to make the crop square or 1000 pixels in width or height. That Action would alwats open the same image file.  Bacth action normally have the Batch Prossor open file the batch action then work on the documents opened by batch..

You may want to consider using the AspectRatioSelection Plugin script in my crafting actions package to set a centered 1:1 aspect selection, Crop to that square aspect ratio than  do an image size to 1000px 

Dealing with various size images is not easy to do with actions for all actions step have  hard coded settings.  Scripting can deals with varying images sizes for they can use logic to change settings bases on the current document's image size.
