Border to make an image square

[Phil_Rose]

Hi all, I am wondering if this is possible and I'm thinking it's probably not. I would like to set up a batch edit to take an image, reduce it to 1000 pixels on the long edge and then add a white border only to top and bottom (in the instance that the image is in landscape mode) or to left and right (if the image is in portrait mode) to make the image square with a white strip affecting that. Does that make sense? I can do this to an single individual image by opening it up and going to Canvas Resize but I don't seem to be up to do this as a batch. Can anybody help? I am attaching an image to show what I mean in Canvas resize.

Thanks very much!

Never mind! Figured it out. I am a fool!

Canvas resize is in the batch commands so you should be able to do it. You will probably have to make 2 batches; one for portrait and one for landscape. I would consider incorporating with a resize as a 1px border is a lot different on a 100 x 100px photo than a 1000 X 1000px

Hey, old thread but if you see this would you mind explaining how you did it?
I'm trying to do the exact same thing and can't figure it out. Thanks!
