Spike Photography

I've photographed a couple of weddings for friends (I don't normally do them) which the clients have asked for their digital photos to be put into an album. I have Affinitity Photo Publisher and Designer V1, and see that V2 is just released. As a photographer, Photo is the only app I really make use of. Basically I would be happy to buy the V2 suite at the discount launch price if you can tell me that I can use one or more of the apps to make a super printed Wedding album. I remember Apple Aperture had an album printing function within the software and Apple would get it printed and post to you. Or are Wedding photographers using the Wedding Album printers built in software to do the layout? Cheers, Spike

Thank you everyone, cheers Chris B

Thanks Aad, I had the Macro open to do a few things like auto contrast and unsharp mask - not sure why these aren't available by default though. I may have solved what I've done wrong in that I used Document>Resize Document to convert the 72dpi to 300dpi and it has applied a conversion to do a resize 3648W x 5742H @ 300dpi. Having used Lightroom since Version 1 in preference to my old way of batch processing in Photoshop, I miss the option to resize by the Longer Edge i.e. if you wanted a 12 inch x 8 inch photo @ 300dpi it was easy in LR to select 12 > inches and 300dpi in the processing export dialog.

I'm new to Infinity although I used to use Serif Page Plus from the very first version years ago. Great to find a suite of one-time purchase design and editing programs - I've bought all three - that I can use on my new MacBook Pro. Although searching through Help and the forum, I am having trouble finding out how to SAVE a Batch Process set of instructions. Do I really have to set it up from scratch each time I want to run it? Also I can't seem to reduce the size of a mix of landscape and portrait photos without one dimension being squashed - I do have the A for Aspect ticked and have tried putting the same number in each of the W and H windows. I have also tried W/2 and H/2 as suggested in the boxes which didn't work for me and also 50%. Please can you tell me what I'm missing or doing wrong?
