Quick Photoshop question; action to resize..

[Scam]

At the moment i run two different actions to resize my photos to post on my blog; one if they're landscape and one if they're portrait. They do exactly the same thing, except obviously when it's landscape i resize it so the width is 700px, and if it's portrait the height is 700px. I'm changing my actions to include a HPF instead of USM, and was wondering if there was a way to combine the actions so i only have to use one? I'm sure there's a way to resize an image to fit into a set 'box' size (without using percentages).

Thanks!

Ooh that looks interesting in there. I might stick with what i know, though

It was a tough thing to Google, but i found the thing i was looking for.

File > Automate > Fit Image

I'm assuming i can just do that whilst recording an action and it'll do it! About to give it a go. As always with PS, there's a million different ways to do what you want!

Hmn i've over-complicated things now.. i have four actions!

[1] HPF for fullsize
[2] Flatten, save fullsize TIFF
[3] Resize for web, HPF
[4] Borders, save for web, close

The problem i'm having is that the end of my HPF actions i want to be able to use a layer mask to paint in what i want sharpened. Therefore the action has to end to allow me to do so. I know i should be able to do this in just two actions, but i cant figure out how to make the action stop to let me paint on my layer mask, then continue when i say so? I've tried stop messages but it doesnt let me do anything..
