[Solved] Scaling down to a maximum size (x OR y)

[steve02476]

Maybe there's an easy answer to this, I have played with the app and looked in the documentation but i'm not seeing it. Perhaps I'm using the wrong vocabulary.

I have 1400 assorted images. Some are landscape orientation, some portrait.

I need to make sure that no edge (x or y) is larger than 1000 pixels. So if the original is 2000x by 1000y, I need to scale it down to be 1000x by 500y.
On the other hand, if the original is 1000x by 3000y I need to scale it down to 333x by 1000y. In the case where neither edge is greater than 1000 I want to just leave the image alone (don't want to scale up).

I can do this by hand but as I said I need to do it to 1400 images, so I want to use "Convert & Modify" if possible.

Any clues? Many thanks.

Hi,

that is really simple. Just use the batch actions from the browser.

You find a short tutorial about creation of a batch here:

Just use as batch for your case:
