another resize question

I have photoshop 7, win xp
I also have a directory with 900 jpgs
They are all various sizes and resolutions.
I know how to make them all 72 resolution and to fit them to 500×500 using an action script, but I don’t want the pictures which are now smaller than 500×500 to be stretched. Is there anyway to have the action script check the size before it does anything, and leave them alone if they are already smaller than 500×500 ?

How about basic javascript (I assume you use javascript) condition in your script

if ( activeDocument.width > 500 || activeDocument.height > 500 ) { // do your resizing…
}

I don’t get it. Can I put javascript into a photoshop actin script ? How would I do that ?

So you didn’t use script at all but actions, those are two different things. With only actions, I think that isn’t possible, there is no way to apply conditions. If you want to script PS 7, download scripting plugin from Adobe (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/main.html) and read the documentation.

I did all that, and there is nothing in the documentqtion about running a script in batch mode. It mentions it, but doesn’t tell you how to do it. How do you run a script in batch mode ?

Make an action that uses script and then use it in batch mode.

Yes that worked, thanks.
