    Until you click Apply button in Fill dialog, you are seeing a preview which considers the current selection, so it's correct for the entire layer to be filled when there is no selection while the Fill dialog is open.

    Solution: apply the fill and then deselect.

    Thank you! I knew this. Not sure how it slipped my mind. Maybe I just had too many pallets open to notice the Fill window. Operator error, I confess.

  2. I'm getting reproducible behavior with this sequence: Make a selection on pixel layer>Edit>Fill>Deselect

    When I deselect, the unselected part from the original selection also fills, making the whole layer a solid color. See screen captures for the before and after. You can even see the selection is active in the before image.

    I found that this also happens when I use the keyboard shortcut SHIFT+F5 but it doesn't happen if I fill using the fill tool (paintbucket). 

    I've been experiencing this for a while now. I think I noticed it even before I installed Mojave on my late 2015 iMac, but definitely ever since I installed Mojave.

    Thanks V_KYR. I read the thread and am looking into using the distort feature. It seems like an unnecessarily complicated way to do this but some way is better than no way. I'm just curious if the distort method will cause a lower quality result since it looks like you can't specify the resize method (i.e. bilinear, bicubic, etc.).

    Hi Traveler,

     

    When you record the macro and tab to the width box it's locking in the width for that sized image.  In my tests, i'm working with an image thats 2268px by 1701px and when i enter the width as 600 and tab to the next box the height is set as 450px.  If i then stop recording the macro and run it on an image that doesn't match the original size of the image i recorded the Macro on, i get a distorted image as the macro is resizing to a width and height of 600 x 450 as that is what was recorded.  If i run it on an image that is 2268px by 1701px, everything is fine.  

     

    I can't see a way to do this with a Macro but you can do it with the batch command in Affinity.  File>New Batch and here you can load a mix of image sizes and set the width to 600 and leave the height box blank and make sure you have A column ticked, as that will keep the aspect ratio.  If you then run the batch, the images all be resized and will keep the original aspect ratio of the image. 

     

     

    Thanks for that, stokerg. Good to know I can do this with batch editing. Unfortunately, for this case I don't always know what size I want until I open the image and have a look. I actually prefer to have a few options set in my macros so I can quickly compare before committing. For example I would have one macro set to resize document to 600 px tall, one 700 px tall, and one 800 px tall. I may try one and then just undo and try another one before. Super easy to do this with Photoshop. But I'm sure that phrase has been mentioned far too many times on this forum already. Maybe we'll get this in ability in future update.

     

  5. I'm having trouble creating a macro that resizes document to fixed height or width. For example, I want a macro that resizes document to 600 pixels tall while automatically adjusting width to maintain original aspect ratio of current working image.

     

    I attempted this by clicking record>resize document>height 600 px>press tab key (to affect the width proportionately)>click Resize>click stop recording. 

     

    The resulting macro seems to sometimes work properly and sometimes it distorts the image by not resizing the width proportionate to the height.

  6. I'm on a Mac and am searching for an Affinity compatible DAM as well. One that correctly displays thumbnails for Affinity Photo as well as Designer would be much preferred. The Finder in OS X does display the thumbnails but it doesn't allow for resizing thumbnails/previews with a keyboard shortcut. I consider this feature to be basic for efficient DAM. I gave XnViewMP a try but that's falling short as well. I'd pay for a full-featured compatible DAM so chime in if anybody has found one for Mac.
