: Automated fitting images inside a frame I have a frame in which different photos must shrink and fit into (frame size is absolute), and then save into different file names (preferably same name

I finally found a solution to this after searching and searching with nothing that worked!!!

I always ran into the problem where part of an image would be cropped off if I set up the script to resize off of a horizontal value for example.

Anyway. my solution was this. I created a script that first used the image-trim and only set it to trim to the top and bottom. Then I edit-cut the image and set background color to white (if your images are already on white). Then I resized the canvas to 30" x 30" square which is much larger than any image we will ever have. Then I pasted in place, and pasted in place a second time (this is the key). Then rotate this second (top) image 90º, then set transparency to 50%, and again choose image-trim, but this time set it to trim to all sides. You now have a trimmed image to square, no matter what the original crop orientation!

Also make sure if you have any PSD layered images mixed in to do a flatten image before anything else.

The tool in photoshop you need is called Batch Processing (file > automate > batch).

You'll first need to create an action, then apply that action to the directory where your images are.

You could create an action that resizes the images, then imports your frame onto the top layer and saves out the file.

Then simply create a batch render for the folder that contains your images.

Look for tutorials in creating actions and batch rendering in Photoshop.
