Very useful script for lots of items, can also be used for product shots and what not. Was just wondering why you havent added interpolation setting when changing resolution?
New version 4.2 today. See the link in the description to download. Fixed a bug that left a 1 pixel line on bottom or right edge at times. Also fixed when using pixel units for the target size, image was not the right pixels wide and tall. Images are now the correct pixel dimensions. Thank you for your support.
@@JVSd-SG Define "not work properly." An error is displayed? Or the results are not as expected? The script relies on Photoshop feature "Select Subject." Open the problem image. Use Select Subject. That is what the script uses as a reference. If Photoshop can't get an accurate result of Select Subject, then the script can't get an accurate reference from which to base cropping. There is nothing about the script that can change to make it do something Photoshop can't do on its own.
Amazing tool! Thanks for building it. Please add support for setting individual margins for each side e.g. bottom 10px, while all other sides at 100px etc. It would be useful for the times when you don't want the main subject always be in the center. And would allow easy repositioning of the subject around the canvas: e.g. keep the subject a little lower, or a little more to the side etc. etc. Love the preset feature too! I just hope this gets picked up by Adobe, and they implement this by default!!
The free version of the script uses a single value for all margins. The paid version of the script gives the user independent control of all four margins, and adds the option to scale the result when the image does not reach the crop. It also has the option of saving working PSD files if desired. See www.marspremedia.com/software/photoshop/auto-crop-advanced
Thanks for this Awesome Video! i was wondering is there anyway to skip the pop up if you have a set dimension so i could use it in a batch process on open files? thanks again!!
You could put the images to crop into a folder, and in the first section "Process" select folder instead of active image. That does a batch instead of one-by-one. If it is common to need to process only open images, I could add to the Process section a choice for "Open images" but it seems the Folder option should cover this, so I didn't bother. Let me know if an "Open images" option is truly valuable enough for the extra work of altering the script. Thank you for the feedback. All is welcome.
@@wc7 thank you so much for your reply. I don’t think it’s worth being modified because I can just make an action and then assign an F key to it. now what I would like to try is a version of the script where it doesn’t reposition and fill. I’m curious to see the results of the images at least for the work I do. So pretty much select subject > crop according to the boundaries of the subject with the desired margins. But at the end thanks for such an awesome script!
@@wsupercool Yes using an Action is how I run all my scripts, and the ones used often assigned a function key. The rest of your comment got me thinking about the content-aware crop I've used, which is helpful, but it should be the user's choice. So I updated the script to have a checkbox for it. If disabled, the script doesn't add image but still warns in the log file. New version 2.3 on my website. Download that and see how it works. Thanks for the feedback, it really helps.
Great script! I'm wondering how I could go about applying the script to a folder and all of its subfolders in one batch process. I don't see it it as an option in the script UI but maybe I missed it or if not, perhaps there is a work around? In my case just overwriting the existing files in their place would be fine.
The script didn't have the subfolder option to begin with because by default, the output folder is created below the input folder. But I realize that's not a good reason to omit the option, and the solution isn't difficult -- if the default isn't changed, and the output is below the input folder, simply ignore the output folder when reading files to process. That's what I've done, and now the option to process subfolders is added. The web page is updated with new version 2.4 of the script. Download and give that a try. Let me know any problems. Thank you for your input. It makes the script better.
Wow that was quick, much appreciated. I tried it out and there don't seem to be any problems. So if 'm not missing anything, right now it's now taking the input folder (and subfolders if checked) and outputting all of the processed files to a single output folder. In my specific case (cropping thousands of product shots for a website), I have a bunch of folders, where many of them have additional sub-folder "trees" and I need to keep the whole folder structure (and file names) unchanged. For this it would be super helpful to either be able to just overwrite the files at the same locations that they currently are in, or alternatively, have a "cropped" folder created in the "root" output folder that mirrors the folder structure of the input folder and it's subfolders. I have no idea how difficult this would be to implement but I do imagine that my case is not all that unique and that this functionality could be a useful addition to the script. What do you think?
@@littleLight69 Yes again the script hadn't evolved that far yet, only because it originally was designed to handle a single folder, not subfolders. What you describe is how Batch Multi Save works, so not a big deal to use the same code. I've posted an updated version 2.5 to the web page. Download and try that. Thanks.
Awesome! I left it overnight to process around 5000 images and PS crashed half way through, the next day I finished the other half. I doubt the crash was the scripts fault, it seems to be very stable and work very well. I'll check back if I run into any problems or have more ideas for it. Thanks again for the script and for helping out with the requests. Let me know if theres anything I can do to help you out.
@@littleLight69 Wow, 5000 images. I aimed to provide batching, but didn't imagine anyone would do that many in one go. Glad to hear it's working under duress. As for the overnight crash, my guess is a memory leak. Adobe probably didn't imagine either, that a script would attempt a task that ambitious. So likely it exceeded a resource limit somewhere, that no one expected to be reached.
hey thanks for this! I wonder, since Generative Fill has now been released, could this script leverage that for instances where the margin is too large?
In most cases there shouldn't be any white around the image, unless it's already cropped very tight. But even so, try enabling the option "Use Content-Aware fill...", and see if that is any better. Or if there is too much image around the subject, reduce the minimum margin value. I might need to see an example of the result you're getting. You can contact me on my website www.marspremedia.com/contact/ and I'll reply with an email address you can send a screen capture.
I think I know the issue now, it's the Minimum margin, it was set to high number, i have a question though, how can I load the script as an Action like in your videos?

After testing this I am assuming there is no way to modify this script to put the subject right of center? I am working on 700 kids that all have the same prop to photo side left. center cropping can't be used in this situation.
Anything about the script can be modified. I usually don't want to change the published script, but I can make other custom versions based on it.

@@nirphotoartjaiminbhavsar6782 Sure. In script, cropping isn't done with any tool. It's a matter of manipulating the document properties or calling methods on the document. To change resolution without resampling, use app.activeDocument.resizeImage(null, null, 300, ResampleMethod.NONE); That "sets" (as opposed to resamples) the image resolution to 300 pixels/inch. If instead you want to resample, the last argument would change, for example, to ResampleMethod.BICUBICSHARPER (one example... there is AUTOMATIC, BICUBIC, others, just like in the image size dialog).

Hi william, I want to crop 1786 photos. The subject selection feature for 1 photo works without any problems. But I have a problem when I want to crop multiple photos. It crops 1 photo without any problem, it does not crop the other photos. Can yo help me?
The script depends on Photoshop's Select Subject feature to work. If Photoshop does well at finding the subject, the script works. For photos that are difficult to find the subject, the script doesn't crop accurately. In cases of photos with subjects difficult to identify, this script is not going to help.
I am exploring face detection but anything I create with advanced features like that won't be a free script. Just so you know. When I come up with something that works, I'll post a reply. Thank you for the feedback.
