CS3, 750px on longest side action?

[thompo]

Is there anyway i can create a single action that will resize my shots to 750px (or any other) on the longest side?

I presently have 2 actions one for Portrait and one for Landscapes, but id prefer to hit 1 button and do the lot

Any ideas?

Cheers Neil

You can use File - Automate - Fit Image with width and height set to 750
This can be part of your action.

I use an action while calls a script which resizes the longest edge to 800 pixels & 72 dpi.
I didn't write it but found it online somewhere and modified it to suit.

doc = app.activeDocument

var startRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS

if (doc.width > doc.height)
doc.resizeImage(800, null, 72, ResampleMethod.BICUBIC)
else
doc.resizeImage(null, 800, 72, ResampleMethod.BICUBIC)

app.preferences.rulerUnits = startRulerUnits

Feel free to do the same

Edit to add: This is in CS3 so may want to double check it doesn't use something not in CS3

It would be better written like this as you haven't taken into account square documents.

var startRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
fitImage(800,72);
app.preferences.rulerUnits = startRulerUnits;

function fitImage(newImgSize,res) { 
	var doc = app.activeDocument;
      if (doc.width > doc.height) { 
         doc.resizeImage(newImgSize, undefined, res, ResampleMethod.BICUBIC);
         } 
      if (doc.width < doc.height) { 
         doc.resizeImage(undefined, newImgSize, res, ResampleMethod.BICUBIC);
         } 
      if (doc.width == doc.height) { 
         doc.resizeImage(newImgSize, newImgSize, res, ResampleMethod.BICUBIC); 
         } 
}
