Scripts

• When I use the Resize script, it doesn't work as expected.

  • def Do(Environment):

        App.Do( Environment, 'Resize', {

                'AspectRatio': 1,  change to 'AspectRatio': None,

                'CurrentDimensionUnits': App.Constants.UnitsOfMeasure.Pixels,

                 'CurrentResolutionUnits': App.Constants.ResolutionUnits.PixelsPerIn,

                'Height': 350,  turn one of these to None—height or width…

                'MaintainAspectRatio': App.Constants.Boolean.true,  change to false(optional if you don’t want to maintain aspect ratio)

                'Resample': App.Constants.Boolean.true,

                'ResampleType': App.Constants.ResampleType.SmartSize,

                'ResizeAllLayers': App.Constants.Boolean.true,
