Yes, you can do that with an action and a batch.

Thanks for the reply… guess I’m doing something wrong.
I have created a 16:9 black background, then I import the image and resize it to 1440×1080 then tell it to save and then remove that layer.

I then go to automate and run the batch with that action and then it just goes through and creates files for the 1440×1080’s but no 16:9 background

I very rarely use scripts or actions… so not the brightest with them lol

Thanks

If you want to just stretch them to 16:9 (1920×1080), then you want to create an action that does that. Image>Image size… unlink the width and height and input 1902 pixels by 1080 pixels as the target size.

If you want to 1440×1080 plus have black bars on the sides, you want to increase the canvas size instead of the image size to 1920 by 1080 with you action.

Then batch your originals through that.

(Note: make sure you’re not saving over your originals by selecting a different folder to save the results in, rather than using the “save” command.)

opening a new file using a different pixel aspect ratio should fix it as well i guess
