Conditional Actions in Adobe ImageReady Resizing images for Web output automatically and creating batch droplets Adding the conditional elements
So that was pretty simple, right? Now we just need to add our conditional elements to our action. This is easy to do. Select your action, and then, at the bottom of the palette, choose the little "Insert a Step" menu. From this menu, select "Insert Conditional."



A dialog box will pop up, asking you to define the conditional statement. In my case, it's going to be "Image Width Is Greater Than 640." Then I'm going to tell it to "Include the following 1 step," just as you see below.





This step will then be added to the bottom of my action steps for the currently selected action.



But I need to move it up to become the first step in my action (just before my first "Resize Image" step), so I simply drag it up in the stacking order to the top.



The same goes for our height adjustment. We add a new conditional, this time making it for the image height, as seen below.



And, once again, I'll simply drag it into position, this time immediately above my second "Resize Image" step.



Good? Our action is now done, so now all that's left is setting our options and saving it as a droplet.
