I need a script that can add plain borders around my photos via extending the canvas size in various aspect ratios all at once. Here's the idea...
Once the script is run, a dialog box/menu would pop up displaying the various aspect ratios, the dimensions of the final canvas size, and the color for the border. The user would select the desired aspect ratios and then enter the maximum size for one of the dimensions, per aspect ratio. And they would select which color they want for the border. Here's a working example:
Let's say I have a 3000x2000 pixel(1.5:1 aspect ratio) image that I want to add a black border to and make large enough for a 16"x20" (1.25:1 aspect ratio) print. I would click the 1.25:1 aspect ratio, then enter in 20 for either the height or width. The proportions would be constrained so 16 would automatically be filled into the other box. I'd choose the color and then press go and voila! A perfectly bordered image would appear.
But then the script could have some kind of "save as" command that would save out a PSD with the original name of the picture with the aspect ratio added after it. A handy feature would be to have all of the different aspect ratios be saved into one folder.
It could look something like this:
Myimage-1.25.PSD in a folder called MyImage.
I'll need it to work with the following aspect ratios.
1.00:1
1.20:1
1.25:1
1.27:1
1.29:1
1.33:1
1.40:1
1.42:1
1.43:1
1.50:1
2.00:1
2.43:1

Here is a rough example of what the end product should look like.
I hope I explained it clearly enough. I'm still trying to figure this out myself. So if anyone could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.
