![]() The Width and Height values of the pixel version are back to 100 percent. I'll use this image that I downloaded from Adobe Stock: To follow along, you can open any image in Photoshop. If you just want to skip to the actual comparison, you can jump ahead to the Resizing Images vs Smart Objects section below. To see the advantage of resizing an image as a smart object, let's quickly set up our document so we can view a side-by-side comparison between resizing a normal image and resizing a smart object. Let's get started!ĭownload this tutorial as a print-ready PDF! Setting up a side-by-side comparison I'll be using Photoshop CC but since smart objects were first introduced way back in Photoshop CS2, any version from CS2 and up will work. In fact, no matter how many times we resize a smart object, the image always looks crisp and sharp. This means that if we need to make the image larger again, we can do so without any loss in quality. The image inside it always remains at its original size with all of its pixels and detail intact. But all we've really done is scaled the smart object. If we scale a smart object to make it smaller, it looks like we've scaled the image. Anything we do to a smart object is done to the smart object itself, not to the image. ![]() A smart object is a container that holds the image inside it and protects the image from harm. And depending on how much bigger you make it, you can end up with a blocky or blurry mess.īut smart objects in Photoshop are different. All it can do is take the remaining detail and make it bigger. That's because, by throwing away pixels, we lost detail in the image, and Photoshop can't magically recreate detail that's no longer there. Later on, if we try to scale the image larger, or even back to its original size, the result doesn't look as good. This is known as a destructive edit because it makes a permanent change to the original image. And once those pixels are gone, there's no way to get them back. Normally when we scale an image to make it smaller, Photoshop makes it smaller by throwing away pixels. The reason I rotate the aspect ratio to match the document's orientations is the Cropping a landscape to portrait aspect ratio and cropping a portrait to a landscape composition wise does not work.Smart objects offer many advantages, but one of the biggest is that they allow us to resize images non-destructively. You would need an Absolute aspect ratio selection plug-in script. However my will rotate the aspect ratio to match the document's orientation. I created an Aspect ratio selection plug-in script based on Adobe Fit images script. You may be able to combine that script into actions that do the aspect ratio crops then have Image processor pro do the resizes and save. If you want to crop and resized your images you would need a different script. Then X's Image Processor Pro plug-in script will do what you want. If you want to retain you images aspect ratios and be resized to fit within the the sizes you listed. Do you want your images fitted the the sizes you listed or do you wnat you images to be center cropped to the different aspect ratios and sized to the listed images sizes. You lasted not only different Images sizes you listed different aspect ratios. More then a dozen Scripts for use in actions.Sample Actions.txt Photoshop CraftedActions set saved as a text file.CraftedActions.atn Sample Action set includes an example Watermarking action.Action Enhanced via Scripted Photoshop Functions.txt. ![]() The Aspect Ratio Selection Plug-in is in my crafting actions package.Ĭrafting Actions Package UPDATED Added Conditional Action steps to Action Palette Tips. Mixing in Portrait source images would not work on the portrait images correctly. ![]() These three actions would then be used with image processor Pro the action would crop to the correct aspect ratio IPP would the resize them to fit your sizes. The other two actions would record the other aspect ratios. Step 1 menu File.Automate>Aspect Ratio Selection In the dialog set the aspect ratio, centered, rectangle, replace, selection, feather 0, OK You could record actions that use my Aspect Ratio selections to make center crops of your images then have Image processor pro do the rest thar is resize and save. Resize to 276x385 and rename to FILENAME_XS.jpg Resize to 374x498 and rename to FILENAME_SM.jpg Resize to 500x500 and rename to FILENAME_MD.jpg If all your images and sizes all have the same orientation like your examples are all landscape they are wider than they are tall ![]()
