It has been a long long day and my brain is fried.

Perhaps one of you fellow designers can tell me where I am going wrong?

I have about 600 product images for an online shop. They are all different sizes, from very large to very small.

What I want to do is to set them all as 300w x 250h graphics. They will be the full size graphics and I wil create thumbnails after.

I have run a batch that fits all the images with a max width of 300 and max height of 250.

Obviously this scales the images to fit in that area but still leaves them all different proportions to each other.

In an ecommerce shop all the images want to be the same size to maintain a nice appearance.

So I have been trying to batch by using an action that opens the file, sets the canvas to 33x250 and then closes.

By my reckoning, this should work fine. All the images that were really large (that I batched to fit the areas) should fit the 300 x 250 snugly and the smaller images should have lots of whitespace.

However the images are still coming out different sizes and I have no idea why.

Going to grab some coffee and clear my head, will be back in 10, I hope someone is more switched on than me this evening!

Thanks
