I have a problem. We run an series of events calld PharmCamp for high school kids all over the state every summer, to get kids interested in Pharmacy. as part of the deal we make nice name badges for them to hang aorund their necks.
We have mostly automated this process. We have a program that takes in the pictures and saves them in the database, and another that will automatically generate the badges, all this is well and good. For our students and interviewiees, and the Tucson PharmCamp we have a photo booth setup that lets us create the photos properly However, for the other events, we get photos of all kinds for this event despite the request that they submit 'passport-like headshot photos', and an inordinate amount of time is spent scaling and cropping. (on the last batch there were two pdfs that were 8 ½ x 11 scans of a little wallet sized class photo, tilted mostly sideways in one kind of cornerish part of the scan. ) I'm doing this in Graphic Converter, which has some nice batching capabilities for this sort of thing, but I'd like to get a solution for the person who's supposed to be doing this; and she has neight Graphics converter or a Mac. She DOES have Photoshop and a very limited ability to use said tool. What I'd like it to be pointed to some sort of Photoshop action, macro or even some other windows-compatible tool that will load an image, place a constrained 3x4 vertical crop box on the image, allow her to move the box and resize it to properly make the badge image, then click 'OK' to save the image cropped to a 480x640 jpeg. (and so there's cropping and scaling going on at once. It also needs to be as idiot-proofed as possible, because the person in question, who is sweet and a nice person and I like her but, I swear she can munkee-click her way to starting a nuclear war between us and France trying to open her email in the morning.)
