Batch resizing to a specific ratio. Hoping for a solution to be created
Our photographer gave us 1000 images that I need to resize to a specific size ratio. The originals are all different ratios, back and forth portrait and landscape, and they're all varying sizes from the start. For the end result, all images need to go to 2000x2000 at 300dpi.
I did the batch resize to fit, but it either does the height or the width and doesn't change the ratio. So i wrote a script to crop them to a specific ratio and it crops them too far on almost all images. Idk what step I'm missing.
I talked to adobe customer support and was told "Work on the portrait image separately in a batch and the landscape image in a different batch" I told them that I tried that as well and it did not fix the problem and then support told me "I would also like to let you know that from Adobe we do not provide support for custom script. If the original images are of different proportion, then the end result cannot be same for all the images as they will follow the original aspect ratio of the image." I asked if there was a way to create a base template and do a batch that way and he told me "Not in this case."
Surely I'm not the only designer who needed a specific ratio and needed to do a batch run of it. Having to do this manually is pretty overwhelming, especially at this quantity. Please, for the love of design and my sanity, create a solution for this.

Failing that, what exactly is your script doing? Cause this should do exactly what you describe.
