Place image behind current image and resize to fill bg?

[christopherjohnson]

I was testing yesterday with a portrait oriented image (taller than wide ) and a square shaped background image and it worked great.

This afternoon I finished integrating the script into my resize script and tried to use it on a landscape oriented image (wider than tall) and the same background images. The fill function appears to only fill vertically. I got white space to the left and right of the background image.

I'll try to find some other way to do it.

Sorry, I forgot about this. I will see if I can come up with a fix or a different way to fill.

This seems to work both scaling up or down regardless of aspect ratio differences.
Code: Select allfunction fillLayerToCanvas( ){
        var doc = app.activeDocument;
        var layer = doc.activeLayer;
        // do nothing if layer is background or locked
        if(layer.isBackgroundLayer || layer.allLocked || layer.pixelsLocked
                                || layer.positionLocked || layer.transparentPixelsLocked ) return;
        // do nothing if layer is not normal artLayer or Smart Object
        if( layer.kind != LayerKind.NORMAL && layer.kind != LayerKind.SMARTOBJECT) return;
        // store the ruler
        var defaultRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
        app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
        // make sure layer is centered
        doc.selection.selectAll();
        alignCenter();
        doc.selection.deselect();
        var width = doc.width.as('px');
        var height =doc.height.as('px');
        var bounds = layer.bounds;
        var layerWidth = bounds[2].as('px')-bounds[0].as('px');
        var layerHeight = bounds[3].as('px')-bounds[1].as('px');
        var widthPercent = ((width/layerWidth)*100)+1;
        var heightPercent = ((height/layerHeight)*100)+1;
        var scaleUp = Math.min(widthPercent,heightPercent) < 100;
       
        if(scaleUp){
            layer.resize(Math.max(widthPercent,heightPercent),Math.max(widthPercent,heightPercent),AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER);
        }else{
            layer.resize(Math.min(widthPercent,heightPercent),Math.min(widthPercent,heightPercent),AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER);
        }
        // restore the ruler
        app.preferences.rulerUnits = defaultRulerUnits;
};
function align(type){
   var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
     var ref = new ActionReference();
       ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " ), charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" ), charIDToTypeID( "Lnkd" ));
   desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "null" ), ref);
   desc.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID( "Usng" ),charIDToTypeID( "ADSt" ), charIDToTypeID( type ) );
   executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "Algn" ), desc, DialogModes.NO );;
};
function alignCenter(){
  align("AdCH");
  align("AdCV");
};
fillLayerToCanvas( );

Thank you. I'll be testing it this week
