How can I automatically make images square?

I'd like to, using actions (preferable to scripts), automatically make images a square. Here's what I want to do (I'm on CC, so I have conditional actions available to me):
(IF
     ([IMAGE SIZE] HEIGHT = [IMAGE SIZE] WIDTH),
   THEN
     (DO NOTHING/RUN UNRELATED ACTION),
   ELSE
     (IF
          ([IMAGE SIZE] HEIGHT > [IMAGE SIZE] WIDTH),
        THEN
          ([CANVAS SIZE] WIDTH = [CANVAS SIZE] HEIGHT),
        ELSE
          ([CANVAS SIZE] HEIGHT = [CANVAS SIZE] WIDTH)))
The way I was thinking I'd go about this is:
Have a conditional action for the first if statement (Called "Square")
Have a conditional action for the second if statement (Called "Square 2")
Have an action that does whatever I want it to do once the document is square (Called "BlahBlah")
Have an action that will bump Canvas Height up to Canvas Width if Canvas Width is bigger, and then does "BlahBlah" as part of the action (Or rather, will make a Landscape image square) (Called "Landscape")
Have an action that will bump Canvas Width up to Canvas Height if Canvas Height is bigger, and then does "BlahBlah" as part of the action (Or rather, will make a Portrait image square) (Called "Portrait")
"Square":     IF Document is Square, THEN PLAY ACTION "BlahBlah", ELSE PLAY ACTION "Square2"
"Square2":   IF Document is Landscape, THEN PLAY ACTION "Landscape", ELSE PLAY ACTION "Portrait"
"Landscape": (Width > Height) Canvas Size -> Width = x, Height = y -> Width = x, Height = x
"Portrait": (Height > Width) Canvas Size -> Width = x, Height = y -> Width = y, Height = y
"BlahBlah": Whatever I want it to do next
Is this possible with actions? If not, is it possible with Scripts? How would I go about doing that?
Thanks in advance!

  • How can I automatic make Numbers to repete a saldo-columme?

    In Numbers in Iwork 2009, there i a templete under personal economy, callede account. The first templet under personal economy.
    When you press enter, it makes a new linje, og it takes the balance-calculation on the new line in the far right. That is brilliant, but how can I do the same in other sheets?
    Hope someone can help:-)

    For Numbers to automatically put a formula in a new row, every non-header/footer row in that column must have the same formula. By "same" I mean like this:
    B2=B1+1
    B3=B2+1
    etc.
    or
    D2=C2/B2
    D3=C3/B3
    etc.
    Those are really simple examples. In both examples, if row 1 is a header row, it does not have to have the same formula.

  • How can I automatically import images into iBook Author?

    I'd like to make a photo book with a couple hundred photos.
    Aside from manually inserting each page, inserting each image, placing/resizing it on the page, is there an easier way to insert many images, and flow them one per page?
    thanks in advance

    There is no built-in support for automatic inserts, sorry.
    I can imagine whipping up an Autormator/AppleScript to do that job, however - in which case success lies in your abilities to put that together, of course.

  • How can I automatically make a copy of one nas drive to another?

    I Have a collection of movies on one WD MyCloud drive. I purchased another for the purpose of backing it up. I am hoping that I can set some backup program that will automatically do this each time I Add or move a file. I downloaded WD smartware which looked like it might be my answer, but the various options do not seem to fit my basic need. I have discovered that I cannot reliably select a group of files which contain folders of files and try to copy them to the second drive. The problem seems to come from copying the folder and then trying to copy the folder again when it halts saying that the file already exists.

    I use both Prosoft Engineering's Data Backup & Bombich's Carbon Copy Cloner as tools to back up my network NAS drive to another NAS. Either of these may work for you.

    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
    If you want to back up the Photos only:
    Export them using the File -> Export command.

  • How can i control what images load on my project to save preload time and avoid loading all images, elements, divs not yet visible?

    Sup buddies,
    How can I control what images load on my project to save preload time and avoid loading all images, elements, divs not yet visible?
    As the project grows in size the load time increases. How does one control not loading all images ,divs,elements etc. until they're
    needed on the timeline? For example some sections are off and only become visible when recalled. My projects slowly grow in size so loading
    all images , is counter productive . My other option would be to create separate htmls but that breaks the seamless user experience .
    TY...Over N Out... 

    hello, kiwi
    quote: "Is there an easy way to burn a completed project to DVD, but keep only the (lo res, lo size) previews on my hard drive?"
    yes.
    maybe,...
    1. you might think of making DVD backups first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
    or,
    2. bring in the photographs to hard drive first prior to importing the photos into Aperture. "Store Files: In their current location" once in Aperture make low rez Previews, and export finished Project.
    the low rez Previews will stay in Aperture but the high quality Versions will be exported onto DVDs and gone from the hard drive (if you delete the originals).
    another way would be to export small about 50-70 pixel wide high quality jpegs to a folder on your Desktop and import & keep these in Aperture Library as a reference. make metadata to show where the original Project DVDs are stored and DVD filing system used.

  • How can I manually attach images from my photo booth (imported into iPhoto) to emails? Auto function, in photo booth has my photos lying sideways?

    How can I manually attach images from my photo booth to iCloud emails?
    They are imported as 'events' into my iphoto library.
    Auto function, in photo booth has my photos lying sideways when placed in 'mail' emails?

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • How can I save an image I have created in Pages as a jpeg?

    How can I save an image I have created in Pages as a jpeg? The image has both a photo and various text boxes. I would like to use it in one of the Photocard websites but they only accept jpeg. Any easy solutions please.

    Hold command shift 4 and draw a box around what you want and then click again, on your desktop a .png file will appear.
    To convert it to jpeg, open it in Preview and Save as.
    if you want all your screenshots to be jpg, download the free Tinkertool and make the change.

  • When using Mavericks, how can I automatically replace 'i' with 'I' when typing?

    When using Mavericks, how can I automatically replace 'i' with 'I' when typing?
    It was easy to do prior to mavericks using system preferences (language and text), but now I can only submit a 2 letter word to replace, not a 1 letter word. I have tried using a space but it doesn't allow that. I would assume that most people would love to be able to type quickly without having to make uppercase I all the time (first world problem i know), so I can't understand why apple have removed this feature.

    There is the shift key, or text replacement approach, providing you have enabled two things:
    Edit > Substitution > √ Text Replacement
    System Preferences > Keyboard > TextClick + to add a replacement
    Replaceii[spacebar]
    With
    I[spacebar]
    Press return
    Quit System Preferences
    Now, when you type ii, you will see a pop-up offering I.
    In the OS X App Store, search for WordService. This free collection of Services will enable you to just type your content, select it, and then choose the Service item, “Initial Caps of Sentences.” It does what it says.

  • How can i view nikon images in photoshop? i have cs4 so the camera raw plug-in is not an option and i've lost my disk from the initial purchase of the D90.

    how can i view nikon images in photoshop? i have cs4 so the camera raw plug-in is not an option and i've lost my disk from the initial purchase of the D90.

    The NEF file only gives a little "nef" icon.  i was able to convert the NEF to DNG on the old computer and then brought the files over to the new computer.  On the old computer, the NEF files were depicted as little jpeg's so I would be able to see a picture of what each file represented.  On the new computer, both the NEF files and the DNG files are depicted with icons, "nef" or "dng", but not as little pictures.  On the new computer, though, I am to import the DNG's into Adobe and edit them so that is working regardless of whether or not a picture is present for the icon of each file.  I've downloaded the DNG converter from Adobe and will try the conversion directly on the new computer when I get home from work.  I do appreciate your responses and will let you know how it works.
    I am curious then, since right now the files are represented by little "nef"'s and little "dng"'s: If I also download the viewNX (spelling might be wrong, sorry) from nikon, do you know if that maintains the file as a RAW format file but allows a picture representation of the RAW file for the icon?  (That would make it easier to choose which RAW files I would choose to edit and which to not even bother with as an initial culling if that makes sense.
    Cheers.

  • Photos in album are only a hash-marked outline the image only shows when scrolling how can I see the image and open the photo?

    Photos in iPhoto album are only a hash-marked outline the image only shows when scrolling how can I see the image and open the photo?

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How can I save my images like a "wedding photographer" does?

    I have a Pixma PRO-100. . . with a Windows 8.1 PC. . . and printing through Adobe Photoshop Elements 11.
    I just printed some wedding pictures of my daughter - which I got from the "wedding photographer"... when I printed them - they were an exact match to what I saw on my screen (which I've calibrated)... and dead on crisp, great quality.
    I'm wondering what a wedding photographer does to their images to make them so "solid" in printing.  How do they save them?
    when I print something from a my files, (Raw, NEF, or JPEG's) - there always seems to be a color or quality problem? Never a match.  It takes several adjustments and print samples before I get what I want. 
    Is the ICC Profile a problem - or How can I save my images like a wedding photog does?  So they print exact?
    Joe B

    " ... (Raw, NEF, or JPEG's) ... "
    I suspect there are some minor differences you are not seeing and/or noticing on screen.  But right off, no real wedding photographer will shoot in anything except RAW.  You should be using RAW, only, too.  The RAW file to start with has way more info in it than any jpeg does.
    Next I would bet your wedding photographer does some tweaking to highlights and shadows, plus s ome other stuff that you are not.  In other words he is getting the photos ready for printing. Remember printing on paper and "printing for on screen" is two different things.

  • How can i automate .pdf output and organize by color/bw?

    how can i "automate" multi-page .pdf output to preflight/imposition software workflow, organized by color/bw?
    basically what i'm trying to do is create a simple output function from InDesign that allows the user to just export a multi-page .pdf into a hot folder and on through preflight and imposition software. i want to be able to tell the hot folder which pages are color -so it can separate, rename and direct color pages to a color queue and b/w pages to a b/w queue.
    i've researched indesign distiller presets and the Acrobat JDF but the JDF isn't really meant for this exact purpose and doesn't help reduce the number of steps currently necessary to manually output/rename/etc.
    is there another way that i can embed information into a .pdf that could be read by a hot folder?

    You might check out this third-party plug-in for InDesign. It may or may not help you (I've never used it). I just saw it on the new Adobe Exchange (beta in Adobe Labs). Here's the description:
    Output Factory automates printing and exporting from Adobe InDesign. Export as single pages with variable file names, output layer versions, update modified links on the fly, preflight InDesign files before output, output to several format at once and much more.
    Just select the documents, adjust settings and Output Factory will do the rest for you. Keep working with other programs while Output Factory processes InDesign files in the background. Or leave it working overnight to output hundreds of documents, and the job will be done when you return in the morning.
    Key features:
    • Output multiple InDesign files automatically
    • Output as single pages
    • Automate printing and exporting to PDF, PostScript, EPS, Flash, IDML, EPUB and several image formats
    • Output files to multiple formats at once
    • Layer versioning: output layer combinations as single files
    • Update modified links automatically
    • Variable output file names
    • Preflight InDesign files and final PDFs
    • Supports books and booklet printing
    • Send output files over Internet and locally
    • Detailed output history
    System Requirements:
    - Adobe InDesign CS3-CS6
    - Mac OS X 10.5 and later, Intel-based Mac
