[txuku]

I do not know how ...............

Does the code in that thread help?

One could calculate the values for another bounds-Array, I guess.

Thats the right idea,

I've tried joining it to the code as posted before. but I can't get it to use the crop tool, as it would mean that it would have the correct ratio and locked when resizing. This is what i'm hoping for when the script has ended

Many Thanks

here is the code from the link


Code: Select allif(outsideInput){
     app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.ALL;
     app.activeDocument.crop(cropArea);
     app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
}else{app.activeDocument.crop(cropArea)}

Here is an example using the crop tool, not a preset...

Code: Select allvar strtRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
var W = activeDocument.width;
var H = activeDocument.height;
//amend to suit
var ratio = "3:2";
var Res = 0;
ratio = ratio.split(":");
if(W<H) ratio=ratio.reverse();
var Hpics =(W/Number(ratio[0]))*Number(ratio[1]);
if(Hpics > H){
    Wpics = (H/Number(ratio[1]))*Number(ratio[0]);
    Hpics = H;
    }else{
        Wpics = W;
        }
var Left,Top,Right,Bottom=0;
if (W==Wpics) Left = 0; Right = W;
if (W!=Wpics) {
    var diffw = (W-Wpics)/2;
    Left = diffw; Right = Wpics+diffw;
    }
if (H==Hpics) Top = 0; Bottom = H;
if( H!=Hpics){
    var diffh = (H-Hpics)/2;
    Top = diffh; Bottom = Hpics+diffh;
    }
CropToRatio(Left,Top,Right,Bottom,Res);
app.preferences.rulerUnits = strtRulerUnits;
function CropToRatio(Left,Top,Right,Bottom,Res) {
if(Res == undefined) Res = 0;
var Width = Right-Left;
var Height = Bottom - Top;
    var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
        var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
        desc2.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Left'), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), Number(Left) );
        desc2.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Top '), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), Number(Top ));     
        desc2.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Rght'), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), Number(Right));
        desc2.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Btom'), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), Number(Bottom) );
    desc.putObject( charIDToTypeID('T   '), charIDToTypeID('Rctn'), desc2 );
    desc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Angl'), charIDToTypeID('#Ang'), 0.000000 );
    desc.putBoolean( charIDToTypeID('Dlt '), true );
   desc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Rslt'), charIDToTypeID('#Rsl'), Number(Res) );
    desc.putEnumerated( stringIDToTypeID('cropAspectRatioModeKey'), stringIDToTypeID('cropAspectRatioModeClass'), stringIDToTypeID('pureAspectRatio') );
  desc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Wdth'), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'),Number(Width));
    desc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Hght'), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), Number(Height) );
    try{
    executeAction( charIDToTypeID('Crop'), desc, DialogModes.ALL );
    }catch(e){}
};

Just trying to work out how to remove the if cmd?

In that even if the image is in the Landscape, then the crop should come on the screen filling top to bottom. Hope that makes sense?

Otherwise having tested it it works as I hoped it would!

Many Thanks
