Hi Gordon

You're making things more difficult for yourself than they need to be.

Try using the "fit image" command in Photoshop, it's in the file menu inside
the automate option - and set both height & width to 550 pixels.

You can use this in an action without any "conditional statement" and can
then create a batch action or droplet as required. If you only plan to do
this once then a batch action will suffice, a droplet is only more useful if
it's something you may choose to do again and again and you want to have it
handy on your desktop, or wherever.
