I want to create a Photoshop action that increases the canvas height to twice the original size. Is this possible, and how would I set it up so it works relative to the current image size?

Sure. All you need to do is start recording an action, go to Image menu->Canvas, set it for 200%, 200% (click the dropdown to select percents from the list instead of inches, pixels, etc.) and where you want the original image to be placed. Stop recording and now you have it.

Yes. You can record an action that changes canvas size by percentage, so it works relative to each image’s current dimensions.
In Photoshop:
- Start recording a new action.
- Go to Image > Canvas Size.
- Change the units to Percent.
- Set the canvas size to 200% for the dimension you want to enlarge, and choose the anchor position to control where the original image stays.
- Click OK, then stop recording.
If you only want to double the height, make sure you increase the height value and leave the width as needed. The anchor setting determines whether the extra canvas is added above, below, or around the image.
