Hello,

I was wondering if it's possible to batch process files with a few macros that don't come by default and if this is as I've watched tutorials about adding certain macros one that works like this?

 1) resize (by default available)

2) to then drag out the area you wish to crop (not to just save into a folder) to as sometimes this done automatically doesn't crop the exact area wanted.

3) then to save the file after this before moving on to next file and repeat process.

So the batch process works it's way 1 by 1 through the files effectively speeding up what would be the manual process you'd normally do.

Kind regards

Number two is not possible in a macro as far as I know.

Numbers 1 and 3 are a standard part of Photo's batch job processing.

The crop tool should have the option to "Use Selection"

Even if it did, how would the macro draw the selection so it was properly positioned for the image content?
