wow, I was trying to do stuff similar to this not long ago and spent some time being really frusterated. Good link!

Is Adobe going the way I think it is? Lets' hope...

Though I couldn't try the result (PS 6.0) but I will take your word for it.

wow
this is cool
what about the CS then??
can't find a good articles on it, anyone??

That's very, very cool.

For me personally the same situations don't come up quite enough to write those sorts of things but there's definitely a use in production situations. Think about product lines for catalogs...etc.

Great tip and interesting development.

yeah I was resizing LOTS of images for the web and was sick of having to run seperate actions for landscape and portrait images - this script was perfect!

Very handy indeed ! Thanks Billy !

just an update

found out an easier way of doing what I wanted without the need for an if else statement

File / Automate / Fit Image...
