Resizing Photos

[NormanF]

Hi, I can resize photo using either the image resize or a batch process. The problem I'm having is that I have photos with different aspect ratios. When I batch process they all come out at 800 x 600 even when the script is made to set only the width. I want the width to be 800 but if the photo is not 4 x 3 (which most are) then their ratio is altered. Is there a way round this?

What version are you using?
Do you have "Aspect Ratio " unlocked.
This is under the "Advanced Settings" It just looks like a tick box but it adds some settings. (In case you didn't know) I think it's locked by default.

Not sure if this will help. Never done a batch resize.

Inside the script, the aspect ratio is manually set.

So, edit the script and find the "AspectRatio" parameter. Then do some simple math by dividing the image width by the height. The variables for Width and Height are:

App.TargetDocument.Width
App.TargetDocument.Height

Here is an example. I'm multiplying Height by 1.0 because Python auto rounds all division to whole numbers if you don't.

Code: Select all

    # Resize
    App.Do( Environment, 'Resize', {
            'AspectRatio': App.TargetDocument.Width / (App.TargetDocument.Height * 1.0), 
            'CurrentDimensionUnits': App.Constants.UnitsOfMeasure.Percent, 
            'CurrentResolutionUnits': App.Constants.ResolutionUnits.PixelsPerCM, 
            'Width': 800,

Not had the chance to try this out yet due to work but will look in to it soon.

Thanks for the help.
