So I have a layout of circle images like this:



Now suppose by Data Merge, I am able to generate the template with different pictures. The problem is, the pictures appear as above, so I want to be able to Fill Frame Proportionally all these images, for as you see, the generated layout composes of 300+ pictures, thus doing it manually is a hassle.

Is there such a thing like in Illustrator where you select similar objects, then do one action for all of them? So I could select all the circle frames with placed photos, and apply. Fill Frame Proportionally

Play with Object Styles:


create a style that fits an image inside a shape. there are a number of fitting options as you will find out if you research this a bit
apply this Object Style to all your circle shapes so when you import the pictures they will automatically fit the frame

On the data merge panel go to the menu and select content placement options. There is a drop down menu called fitting. Here you can choose to fill frames proportionally. Its should fill frames during the data merge instead of after.
