Hey all

I have a little problem when I run my accion.
sometimes, I have to crop several pictures at 10 cm x 15 cm,
The pictures have, a lot of dimension, so when I run my accion very often I have to zoom in and out the picture to crop them
I've uploaded a image to see my problem.

Please I need an script, to crop from 10 cm x 15 cm, So I upload another image to see that I want to make.

Thanks in advance

Normally I see Image size documented with Width followed by height. So 10 cm x 15 cm would a 2:3 Aspect Ratio portrait. How many pixel the image will be is a function of the images resolution which in normally specified in DPI. So you would need to do the math to do the Inch to CM conversion. For your images which you wrote can actually be any size you need to do two things.

1.) Crop you image to a 2:3 Aspect Ratio
2.) Set the images resolution so it will print 10 cm x 15 cm

I have create a free download package on crafting actions in that package are two Plug-in Script I wrote to be used within Action. One named AspectRatioSelection and the other LongSidePrintLength these plug-ins when installed will show up as items in menu Fils>Automate>Item Name.
Using these two plugins in an action you will be able to automate what you want to do I believe. When use in actions Plug-ins record the setting use in their Dialog when you record the Action into the action step when the action is played the plug-in script will bypass showing its dialog and use the recorded setting. Set AspectRatioSelection for a 3 2 aspect selection that is centered rectangle replace no feather the use image crop the use LongSidePrintLength set to 15CM concerted to inches.

If all you want to do is create a single document with all you image in it at some size there is a script in my Photo Collage Toolkit that may be all you need. PasteImageRoll.jsx - Paste Images into a document to be print on roll paper. here is what it does http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/PasteImageRoll.html

THANKS A MILLION
I am very grateful for the help
I modified my action and it works great.

Default options: (AspectRatioSelection) at: selection options: Center - Frontera (image is selected on the left)

It would be possible, add: Frontera-1 (image selected on the right)

Please.

Thanks a lot

Hi jjmacks I downoad your beautifull script Paste Image Roll Dialog.
I have a question:
Is it possible to make a border for every cell like a frame around all picture?
For example black or white of different size.

Thanks a lot for answer.

I try to add border every time that load a photo before that the photo is loaded on the composit, but the border is only on the composit and not on every photo.
any suggestion is welcome.

AspectRatioSelection only set a selection its position is origin is either top left or centered. If your using it in an action you can easily make the action interactive so you can move the selection. After the selection is set by the plugin script record a setp menu Select>Transform Selection in the option bar enter 180 in the angle file and press enter to commit the transform to record the step, Then record menu Image>Crop to end the action. After the action is recorded turn on the transfor selection step's dialog. When you play the action tou will be able to move the selection. if you hold down the shift or shift and alt keys you van drag in a corner to reduce the selection size and maintain its aspect ratio.

As for the pastimageroll script is made not to wast paper not have any boarders. You have the script so you could modify it to include borders. If you do not know scripting you could loose a bit or your images to a border you add by selecting all the images layers and adding a layer style that strokes the layers inside like 10 px white. Just add a new style to you loaded styles in the style palette. You could make an action to do it.
