Hello Affinity
Re: Affinity Photo 1.7.2 on desktop macOS Sierra 10.12.6
I want to resize some documents from full-size-out-of-the-camera docs to 7.5x5 inches. (in pixel terms I'm starting with a 3888 x2592px image and ending up with 2624 x 1750px)
To do this I have gone to Document > Resize document
Then I enter a value of 67.5% in one of the size fields, ensuring the constrain aspect ratio is locked.
I leave the other options as their defaults i.e. dpi as is and 'resample' checked
This works fine for portrait and landscape images on 'individual' images. I get 7.5x5in images with their aspect ratio preserved.
But...
As I have quite a few, I have tried to set this up as a macro.
It will be fine for subsequent images of the same orientation as the one I was using to set up the macro.
However the macro doesn't seem to recognise the constrain proportions lock and when applied is changing the orientation of the doc.
ie..
if, when setting up the macro, I had a portrait image open when I entered that 67.5% value in the width field:
I'll get 5x7.5in portrait document with aspect ratio preserved when the macro is applied as expected.
But when applied to a landscape image, I'll get a portrait document with the image distorted (compressed horizontally) to fit.
...and vice versa if I had started with a landscape image when I set up the macro, all landscape images will be fine but the portrait will convert to a landscape and the image distorted (stretched horizontally) to fit.
As I said, I only get this behaviour when applying the macro. The above method works fine when performed manually on individual images.
Hope that makes sense!
This wasn't working either in the previous version of Affinity Photo. I have only recently updated to 1.7.2.
Enjoying working with the whole suite of software by the way!
thanks
