No - if you come across one, let me know. At the moment I divide the pix into portrait and landscape (in their own folders) and have an action for each orientation.

That's how I do it too. But there must be a better way!

::John::
9th of July 2007 (Mon), 16:09
There is one way...

I bought the framing software (see in my link) and you can batch process with that.

Turn the framing controls off and just use the sizing controls and it will adjust by longest side.

6.7.......3.7 planets needed......:rolleyes:

But it is a wild guestimation, nowhere near detailed enough to get the real picture. For example, my car is a V6 that uses a bit more gas than the cut off for their multi choice question (But still not bad). But I generally only drive it to the ferry and back during the week (about 5K a day) and the odd longer trip, but usually we drive Kerry-Sue's more economical car when out and about at the weekend with the family etc. So do many more Ks in the more economical car than the big bad gas guzzling V6 :evil: (it is actaully much more economical than I was expecting when I bought it:) ) There are many more questions like that, you just can't measure such a complex thing with a few multichoice questions. It is good for raising awareness though!

it dropped to -8 in the garden over night - and has struggled to 5 today.
Might have to wear track pants from now on and put the shorts away for the winter...

You're welcome to it! Careful you don't slip on black ice and snap something off... (Note for Aucklanders.... apparantly it gets so cold 'down there' that the rain freezes and takes on the complexion of the prevailing mood of the locals, in case you didn't know...;) )

But too late now. I spent 4 hours sorting processing and uploading photos to my web site yesterday. Always having 2 scripts & 2 directories.
I'll have to remember that one too. I like that it sais fit within, so I can then make landscape images larger than portrait so they fit the screen better.

Remind me to post a article I have

"10 reasons why Chocolate is better than sex"

Oh found it

Top 10 Reasons why Chocolate is Better than Sex:
(Food for thought as you tear into that box of chocolates you got on Valentine's Day)

1)When you have chocolate it does not keep you neighbors awake.

2)You are never too young or too old for chocolate.

3)Good chocolate is not hard to find.

4)With chocolate there's no need to fake it.

5)You can ask a stranger for chocolate without getting your face slapped.

6)You can have chocolate on top of your desk during office hours without upsetting your co-workers.

7)The word "commitment" doesn't scare off chocolate.

8)You can make chocolate last as long as you want it to.

9)You can safely have chocolate while you are driving.

10)You can GET chocolate.

Reasons why sex is better than chocolate

1) It is way better for your calorie balance! Loose weight instead of gain it.
2) It is better for the planet (SAVE THE PLANET!)
3) It is more fun
4) When was the last time you saw a photo of a chocolate bar posted in G&N? The human form is much nicer (assuming they haven't eaten to much chocolate...)

I'm sure I could come up with more
