Sorry for the strangely worded Post Title that appears more as a search term than a topic. I hope to find a solution to my recurring simple task that has become quite difficult even after reading John Rostron's posts about resizing images. Here is the task:
Starting with a folder of 240 DPI images (some landscape and some portrait), I need to resize all of them to 2000px on the longest side and 72 DPI.
When I perform the task manually on a single image, it works fine. When I run it through a batch job using a macro to perform the same task, a task I successfully worked through manually to record said macro, all portrait images are stretched to landscape.
In a pinch, I had to use Photoshop to do this job recently. However, after talking my team into switching to Affinity to move away from CC, that option will go away at the end of the month. Please help. I don't want to do these by hand when I *know* there has to be an answer.
