How to batch crop?

[silentrunning]

I'm trying to crop a whole load of images. I want to define the crop via DynamicCrop - as Crop is to painful without a displayed region to work with - and then apply the crop using a file container. I can get various processes to work with the file container but not DynamicCrop even when I save it to the desktop as a process.

Is there a way to use dynamic crop with an image container or to get the defined dynamic area into the Crop function which does seem to work with a container.

Many thanks

Hello Doug,

apply crop, add files to the image container. Open history of the cropped image, drag the crop  icon to the desktop. Then drag the triangle of the image container to the icon. Cropped images will appear in the selected directory.

Can this be scripted?

like from a javascript script? while imagecontainer is not scripting per se, it does allow you to a process icon to multiple images in a batch. a process icon can also be a process container, so you can apply multiple processes to a batch of images if need be.

Hi Mike!
No need for a script.
There is already the process   "Blink"
where you load all the images, draw a preview over the area you want to stay,
select in the blink window the Images which should be used (orange) and
press the "scissor" button at the lower right of the process window. And Voila -
It creates automatically the cropped files, containing the preview area,  in the directory you select.

Thats the simplest solution.
