I have hundreds of jpg photo files downloaded from a digital camera. I want to resize and combine 2 4.5×6 jpg files into one 4×6 jpg file containing 2 photos, each 3×4. Then I can upload them and get them printed by a photo printing service.
Since there are so many, I want to automate the process.
I created a separate action to convert all the files into 3×4 size, and ran in as a batch, so that part is done.
Next I created an action "Two 3×4 to 4×6" that opens a file, rotates the image, increases the canvas size to 4×6, opens another file and rotates, selects, copies and closes it, then pastes it into the 4×6 and moves it so both images are side by side, then saves it.
When I run the "Two 3×4 to 4×6" action using batch, it works on the first image (rotating and converting to 4×6) but the second file pasted in is always the same. So I end up with different images on the left side of the processed 4×6 jpg (what I want) but the right side image is always the same one.
I need the second image file opened to procede to the next image file the way the first one does.
Is there a way to open files from 2 separate folders when running a batch, or to open every other file in a folder?
Or do you have any other suggestions? Thanks!
