currently i have two batch resize actons in cs3 that i use with the image processor to resize images.

one is set at 40% and the other is a 20%, these result in pretty good sized photos for distribution but the problem is if i crop an image a lot. the crop may still be 800 px across (and therefor not need resizing) but when it gets caught int he batch it becomes too small. what i would really want is to designate a specific maximum pixel width and have it resize to that (if bigger)

ex i could say i want 800 to be the max of the longest side. so if i crop tall its not 800 wide and like 1600 tall. or if i crop tight and the original is already smaller than 800px it dosent resize at all.


is there an easy way to do this?

I know lightroom has this option and I love it.

You select whatever exported photos you want and set your resize parameters, such as maximum width/height. It will resize all to that spec.

Do you have that option? (LR?)
