Question Photoshop automation

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know if there is a automation tool that takes all photos in a folder and alters the size and aspect ratio to a set size. I want a tiled image with no white spaces.
cheers hbp

Re: Photoshop automation

You can set up an action using the resize command.

You would need to uncheck the constrain proportions box.

Are you familiar with photoshop actions?

Re: Photoshop automation

I'm pretty sure you can do this through Bridge - I use it to mass convert and resize .raw files.

I'll post details later when I'm back on my home PC.

You can apply an action to a folder.

Re: Photoshop automation

I know that you can do this with Picassa, but it makes it into a square, if this is what then thats fine.

But when I did my collage of 180 photos, I have to resize them all individually and place them onto the canvas individually. Which I did in Photoshop.
