Save As / File Size / Sorting
« on: June 12, 2013, 11:09:48 AM »
I have been struggling with this for some time and wonder if there is a way to do all of this:

1. Crop photos (some with horizon adjustment)
2. Sort the horizontals and verticals via the crop aspect ratio?
3. Size photos in save as with 2x3 ratio at 2000 x 3000 px (or 3000 x 2000 px)

I'm finding I have to save the verticals and horizontals separately to get the correct sizes.
The sorting via crop aspect ratio seems to work somewhat but if I've changed the horizon via the crop tool on a vertical it seems to consider this a horizontal.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David

If all you're trying to do is save an image with its largest dimension as 3000 pixels, I don't see a need to sort at all.  In the Save As dialog, scale to a Box with a size of 3000 pixels.  Verticals will be 3000 pixels tall and horizontals will be 3000 pixels wide.  If you have a 3:2 crop on them, then the other dimension should be 2000 pixels.

HTH,

Thanks again! I will give that a try. I've been using Fit to Custom Width on the different orientations.

Box scaling is your friend.
