Hi,
I need to automatically rezize a photoshop document by using an action. Sounds pretty simple, yes. But the thing is that the flow needs to grab the individual/specific size from ANOTHER open document (different from time to time) to be used as the target size…. I need to make the grab the target size from a variable, so to speak.
I’ve tried to use the crop-tool to grab size and then use select all + crop on the other document, but no. Plus loads of workarounds.
It has to be a full auto function to be run from a droplet.
This is what it will be used for:
A faksimil scan from a newspaper page needs to get a broken side like it had been ripped out by hand. A shadow on the ripped edge as usual. Easy to do by hand. But the action flow will use a "template"document holding a pre-made layermask built with the right edgelook. The Action will rezize this to fit the original faksimil dokument and apply the ripped edge+ shadow on the faksimil document in one go. By loading the selection from the layermask over to the faksimil.
Anyone with the right kind of brain for this? My own seems to be out of question this time.
Thanks,
Nick
