Yes, this is the new functionality, works fine and sounds great for a manageable number of images . But you need to know where the dedicated images are located / how named (I have the original cam naming) and stored in a pre-seleted way -- with 300 images it is not working in an appropriate way (just tried): a.) It loads very long into the cache b.) You have the placement tab with the pictures -- but once you leave it (select another tool), it gets lost again and you have to start over... c.) The images are sorted somehow (can't say) -- but I prefer a date sorted approach. Therefore I fear I need to stay with my Luminar workflow.

Well, yes, that's the intention, but my photobook does not have any predefined frames, layout pages, etc.., I want to be flexible and do a mass-load of pictures I selected and then start arranging the pictures. Having the frames first seems to be too much effort, because I have to drag every single image exclusively into the application / document. It would be fine to mark all dragged images at once and then start a command / execute a command.

Hello Walt, thanks for your response! Yes, after the paste of the images I convert those images into picture Frames: "Layer -> convert to picture frame". To fasten up this step I use an individual short-cut to do it via keyboard. But also those picture frames need to be sized. My Problem is, these images / frames might be much bigger than my page and hide the probably given content of the page too much, too. My intention is to find a way (script, command) to convert these images / frames automatically (in one stroke, best with the picture frame convertion). To be honest, I'm not sure if Publisher does have such scription / recording functionality. Thx Timm

Hello I create regularily a photobook with > 300 Pictures in Affinity Publisher. I arrange these photos -- sometimes up to 10 pictures per page -- on the pages of that photobook. Whenever I paste these images from another tool (Luminar -- unfortunately still waiting for a Lightroom competitor / killer from Serif) the pictures will be added to my page in different scales based on their resolution, oftenly they are much to big to fit into the page. Is there any way to automatically with in the drop process scale them down to a size that fits into the page directly without touching every picture separately. In my workflow I drag them over, mark all of them and scale them down manually. Afterwards I bring them into frames to be able to adapt the image focus, scale and fit into my arrangement, the grid, etc... Many thanks for any ideas, hints etc..
