detect image orientation

[tripitaka]

Hi all,

First post! Hope someone can help.

I have a folder of many images. I would like to batch process the folder. To each image i want to detect if its a landscape or portrait image then add a logo to the image depending on the orientation.

I know i can separate out the images in the folder but that will take more time which i am trying to save!!

thanks
Andy

You can use a script as part of your action..
Save the code as FileName.jsx in the Photoshops preset/scripts folder.

var doc = activeDocument;
if(doc.width.value>doc.height.value){//Landscape
	doAction("Action Name", "Action Set");
	}else{//Portrait
		doAction("Action Name", "Action Set");
}

Amend the Action Name and Action set to suit.
Now you can create a new action that call this script that will then call the action for the correct orientation.
When recording the action use: Insert Menu Item then File - Scripts and select your script.
