Maybe this basic function can also be realized in the version 1.7.
A simple and complete standard resizing dialog for A-Photo.
Without such a standard dialog A-Photo unfortunately can never reach professional level.- Petar Petrenko and Fixx

I would like to use my LUT presets of Affinity Photo of my 1st Computer also on my 2nd Computer. Where are the LUT presets stored on my Windows System? Is there a file or are the presets stored in a folder?

Having the DPI not honoured from the file being imported is an irritation, good to hear it's being worked on. I'm not sure what the 'pro' comment is about?
Hi Harrym,
here are three (unsolved or open) old forum threads about the resizing dialog.
https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/33007-resize-document-usability-ap/
https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/32409-new-resizing-dialog-scale-to-new-size-a-photo/
https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/28362-ap-resize-document-function-is-too-basic-and-not-very-useful/As a graphic designer (labeled as "Professional User") having a job to edit a hundred images it is essential to have a responsive dialog that immediately shows the converted values during typing in - cm -> DPI -> pixels -> Inches...... .
In my opinion this is more important than any filters or other gadgets to have.
At the moment you have to toggle several times between checkboxes or value-fields -> or you have to confirm the dialog and must reopen it to see the new values.

Thank you Mark.

This was logged as an improvement request earlier but wasn't implemented yet. The dev teams have been quite busy. Bear with us while we get there.
Thank you MEB.

I assume pro users are a minority and so the bad resizing dialog and function is something we have to live with - it is frustrating that the developers can't see the essential problems with the resizing dialog and it's function
-
What is missing badly in the Windows Version resizing dialog is that it is not possible to change the Pixel / Inch / Centimeter values without the resample box is ticked. So it is not possible to calculate the DPI vs Centimeter values instantly. Another problem is that the Pixel / Inch / Centimeter values don't follow promptly if DPI values are changed. You have to toggle the resample box twice first....

Interesting workflow michael, but how do you calculate your output images? (cm/iches vs DPI)

Hi MX1,
the resizing function / resizing dialog is unfortunately treated as an orphan in Affinity Photo, in the meantime a "resizing community" of pro users is grown in this forum to address their/our unhappiness with the resizing dialog box,
we hope our wish for a new and extended resizing function will be heard - I think that the success of Affinity Photo depends on good basic functions, and the resizing dialoge comes before anything else! -
Thanks v_kyr
I will try Simplify. I think Macros are not really interesting for sketch or painting effects because if I want to modify such an effect I have to start a new action. And each picture is different....

I am searching for a low cost or free Sketch plugin for Affinity Photo. Are there any recommendations?
-
Too bad that the problems with resizing still consist. Maybe this DPI problem is only a meta-data problem but it's a really essential problem for pro-users. I hope that the whole resizing dialog will enhanced to a fully equipped tool soon. Up to now, unfortunately, resizing issues are paid too little attention.

Hi Meb,
in windows version - if I grab one tab the document now floats over the other document, hmm did I something wrong? Is there a function to arrange them exactly side by side?
-
Is it possible to export multiple layers as individual files?

How is it possible to arrange documents side by side?

Great. Resizing dialog bugs fixed. Just purchased Photo :)

I'm not sure if the RC are different from the release but I have tried resize and all looks like it works the same as the Mac and mainly works for me.
The only issue I have is that if I untick resample and change the DPI then the size disables and doesn't show the new size. If I click resize the it does work but I have to go back into the resize dialog to see the new size. Is this what you are seeing?
Simply do this (Windows 10):
Resize Document>Inches/Centimeters>Type a value in the first field >DPI 300> Lanczos 3 Non-Separable> click apply
Since the first Beta I'm only posting to the resizing problems...
If you swap steps (4) and (5) it will work as expected. I apologise for not picking up on your original bug report, but at the same time, I wouldn't class it as a bug that was serious enough to delay the release of the application. We'll get this fixed for the next release.
Thanks Mark. But no serious user can work with such a resizing dialog. Resizing is often enough a very intiutive thing so we can't care about typing orders. Values also don't follow accordingly - sorry but definitely a no go.
It's also not possible to see the centimeter-values if you change the DPI values and untick resample. That’s a huge problem for me as a designer. So I have to calculate in another application. Sorry Mark but practically every freeware has a better resizing dialog.
Thanks for the announcement to care about this problems.
I'm working with Affinity Designer. Hoping this for Affinity Photo too....

Uhhh, just heard about the release of the final version. Can't believe that this buggy version can be a success. If the massive Bugs with the resizing function won't fixed, unfortunately a purchase makes no sense for me. :(

Hi Michail,
Currently the resize dialog is developed only as very basic function and I am afraid there is a long way to go for Afinity in this regard to satisfy semi-professional - not to mention at the moment - professional demands. I hope that the developers team is aware of the importance of the functionality of the resize dialog.
At the moment we must do the resizing in another software (Gimp, Paint net, Irfan View, ............. ........................ .......................... .................................. ..............................).
It's weird that such an essential function is not elaborated in software that would like follow in Photoshop's footsteps. -
Wow RC 2,
Hmmm, I wish the beta phase would be a bit longer and the problems with the resizing functions would be solved. This is too essential to defer the solution to later versions.

Thank you chris k
but this is not a new bug, the bug exists since the first beta,
just like the other unsolved problems with the resize dialog
