Question

How should I resize an image with Python script so that it would automatically adjust the Height ratio to the Width used? I’m using the following code:

def Do(Environment):
    # Resize
    App.Do( Environment, 'Resize', {
            'AspectRatio': 1.33333, 
            'CurrentDimensionUnits': App.Constants.UnitsOfMeasure.Pixels, 
            'CurrentResolutionUnits': App.Constants.ResolutionUnits.PixelsPerIn, 
            'Height': 1440, 
            'MaintainAspectRatio': True, 
            'Resample': True, 
            'ResampleType': App.Constants.ResampleType.SmartSize, 
            'ResizeAllLayers': True, 
            'Resolution': 72, 
            'Width': 1920, 
            })

Using this code works perfectly if the aspect ratio of an image is the same as the one defined in the code – i.e. 1.33333. But how should I make it work with images that do not have this ratio? For me, what is important is that the new Width is 1920; Height has to be able to adjust automatically. Any ideas which part of my code should be altered and how?

According to this forum post,

the magic word is None

– i.e. change

'Height': 1440,

to

'Height': None, 

As we found out in the comments below, you also have to set AspectRatio to None.
