Re: Rules for batch and actions

Hej
I'm about to batch some thousands pictures of people, all with
different size, dimension and format. What I want to do is to crop SOME
of the pictures, but only the "landscape oriented" ones. Now is there a
way, in PS or any other program for that matter, that allows me to
create a rule that, in my batch, only crop pictures with that format or
wider than XX pixels?
Please provide me a solution.

Thanks

Actions do not have the ability for conditional programming. i.e. They can't do "if...then...else". You would have to run different actions on different sets of pictures that you pick out.

Scripts are a different story. Scripts are a step toward actual programming. Alas, I have never written a script for Photoshop nor have I looked at the code in one. I haven't done any programming since the '80s.

If you are a programmer or willing to learn, scripts are your ticket.
