Different kind of Fit Image?

Is it possible to get the fit image (or even a combination of image size tools) to fit the smallest dimension to a specific size?



Reason being is I'd like my action to fit the smallest dimension and than simply crop off the opposite dimension to end up with a square as the final image.

I think it could be done with an Action, but which part (side) of the image would you want cropped and which to keep?

I'm thinking along the lines of:



Make

i Background

a Layer. Increase Canvas Size to 200% both dimensions. Select Transparency Channel (double-click on the Layer thumbnail). Transform Selection%26gt;Rotate 90 degrees. Align to Left and Top (say) and Crop. Then Select Transparency Channel again, Crop.



That would give you a square of the Top for Portrait images and the Left for Landscape images I think.

Yea maybe I'll just have to have two separate actions for portrait or landscape. I just wondered if there was a trick I didn't know about.



Thanks for the responses!

I think you only need one. See my instructions, above. The only issue is which portion of the image you want to keep.

Brian, You could copy this into a jsx-file, put it into Presets 聽Scripts and give it a try:

// crop to a square of the documents shorter sides length;



// use it at your own risk;



#target photoshop



if (app.documents.length %26gt; 0) {



var myDocument = app.activeDocument;



var originalRulerUnits = preferences.rulerUnits;



preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;



var theShorter = getTheShorter(Number(myDocument.width), Number(myDocument.height));



var dlg = new Window (''dialog'', ''select new length for shorter side in pixels'', [300,300,600,380]);



dlg.theNewLengthField = dlg.add('edittext', [12,12,285,35], theShorter, {multiline:false});



dlg.theNewLengthField.active = true;



dlg.buildBtn = dlg.add('button', [12,45,140,55], 'OK', {name:'ok'});



dlg.cancelBtn = dlg.add('button', [160,45,285,45], 'Cancel', {name:'cancel'});



var myReturn = dlg.show ();



if (myReturn == true) {



   var theNewLength = Number(dlg.theNewLengthField.text);



   if (myDocument.width %26gt;= myDocument.height) {



      myDocument.resizeImage (null, theNewLength, null, ResampleMethod.BICUBIC);



// the  anchor-positions are easily changed to TOPLEFT, BOTTOMRIGHT etc.;



      myDocument.resizeCanvas (theNewLength, theNewLength, AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER)



      }



   else {



      myDocument.resizeImage (theNewLength, null, null, ResampleMethod.BICUBIC);



      myDocument.resizeCanvas (theNewLength, theNewLength, AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER)



      }



   };



preferences.rulerUnits = originalRulerUnits;



}



else {



   alert (''no document open'')



   };



function getTheShorter(a,b) {



   if (a %26lt;= b) {



      var x = a}



   else {



      var x = b};



   return x;



   };

oh wow thank you for writing that up for me! I'll have to give it a try
