Photoshop script - scale images up to guides

Post by Skyharim »

Hello, do you guys know a script that would scale my images from bottom left corner to the first vertical or horizontal guide?

In other words, lets say I have three images next to each other, now I need to scale them from bottom left corner to the whole canvas (keeping proportions) up to the first guide they hit (depending on the size of the images)

I attached two pics to demonstrate my request.
