: Automate combining 2 picture and adding logo without photoshop What I would like to achieve is for someone to be able to input 2 pictures, which would be center-cropped and stretched to 100%

@Vandalay110

Use imagemagick its pretty much the tool for this kind of thing. Cropping, scaling and layering is pretty easy, you can find bindings to php, python, etc too if you don't want to use the cmd.

The only bit that is problematic is finding where the interesting bit actually lies. This is all fine if you take the pictures yourself, or have instructed how to take the pictures (which is fine for games events). But if you need to find the center of interest from random pictures then that is a different question. But for that you can use something like facedetect.

I would recommend learning about actions and scripts! You will first have to crop making sure your subject is scaled proportionally or otherwise aesthetic. If all photos were shot the same you could batch apply this crop, or just do them all at once/per diem. Then, moving on to recording the layout action. I think you could record yourself masking one side, then the other, per your grid, and adding the logo/symbol.

...... thanks for the simple and intuitive ui, adobe! lol

anyway here's a product/cheatsheet/modernized fix for many social media sizing woes! sproutsocial.com/landscape
