Resize image using ‘Fit Image’

We often get resizing project from our clients where they ask to resize longest side of images to given size. When we have to do it for one image, we can always use image size option for this. But, imagine if we have to resize 1000 raw images (including both horizontal and vertical raw images) with longest side changed to 800 pixel maintaining proportions of images. Still use image size option? That will take really long time.

The function ‚Fit image‘

There is a quick solution for this in photoshop. The solution is to use the Fit Image command to specify a maximum width or height and Photoshop will make sure that the width or height doesn’t exceed the chosen amount while constraining proportions. Make an action using this option (File >Automate > Fit Image), you can resize 1000 images in just about few seconds.
