This is something I've been wanting to ask for a while but can never find the exact way to word things, but basically here is what I would like to accomplish:
I'm wondering if there is a way to record certain steps in a Photoshop action as values that are percentages or proportions of an image, so that regardless of pixel dimensions, aspect ratio or orientation you get a uniform and consistent result from image to image.

To avoid confusion, I will just give one example: say you want to add a rectangle shape on top of an image and oh, I don't know, fill it with orange let's say. But you want this orange shape, when recorded in the action, to be sized to 90% of the long side of the image and 90% of the short side, RATHER than having it always be x number of pixels/cm/inches where it would take up a different amount of real estate on a different image with different dimensions. Another alternative would be the same principle except with a rectangular marquee tool, where it makes a selection that is 90%/90%. I hope that makes sense.
I think originally I wanted to do it to create borders and vignettes that will proportionally execute the same, whether it's on a 1000x800 pixel image or a 5000x2500 pixel image.
Any guidance would be mucho appreciado!
