[downsize makro in percent]

Also, zuerst einmal herzlichen Dank für die Hilfestellungen. Leider bin ich immer noch nicht auf die Lösung meines Problems gestoßen. Aber die Ursache kenne ich jetzt:

Ich erstelle mein Makro korrekt, und as Ergebnis ist fehlerlos.
Die weiteren Bilder, die ich bearbeiten will, werden immer auf die Größe des ersten Bildes, das ich bei der Aufzeichnung des Makros verwendet habe, gebracht! Das heißt, Wenn meine Makroaufzeichnung mit einem Hochformat erstellt worden ist, werden alle folgenden breitformatigen Bilder auf dieses Hochformat verzerrt.
„Shit”!

Ich habe noch zwei weitere Fragen zu Euren Tips:

1. Wie kann ich, wenn ich über Filter – Distort – Equations eingebe, die Größe oder Auflösung meines Bildes verändern???
2. Das gleiche über File – New Batchjob? In diesem Befehl lässt sich zwar einiges einstellen, er nimmt aber kein OK an!

Meine Affinity Photo Version ist 1.10.5 und ich arbeite mit MacOS Monterey Vers. 12.5!

Vielleicht hat noch jemand einige Ideen!

Nochmals vielen Dank für Eure Mühen.

 

So, first of all, thank you very much for the help. Unfortunately, I still haven't found the solution to my problem. But now I know the reason:

I create my macro correctly and the result is error-free. But the subsequent images I want to edit are always resized to the first image I used when recording the macro! This means that if my macro recording was created with a portrait format, all subsequent wide format images will be distorted to this portrait format. "Shit"!

I have two more questions about your tips: 1. How can I change the size or resolution of my image when I enter via Filters – Distort - Equations??? 2. The same about File – New Batchjob? A few things can be set in this command, but it does not accept OK!

My Affinity Photo version is 1.10.5 and I'm running MacOS Monterey Vers. 12.5!

Maybe someone else has some ideas!

Thank you again for your efforts.

[Makro]

Hi Gnobelix, zunächst Danke für die schnelle Antwort. Das Problem scheint noch noch weiter zu gehen. Ich habe nämlich gerade festgestellt, das die Ergebnisse sowohl bei Hoch- als auch bei Breitformaten verzerrt werden, nur, dass das bei breitformatigen Bildern nicht so auffällt, weil Affinity ein breitformatiges Basisseitenformat vorgibt, auf das alle Bilder hin verzerrt werden. Je näher sas Origial bild an daieses Basisformat heranreicht, desto weniger fällt es natürlich auf. Aber das darf doch nicht sein! Wenn ich meine RGB-Bilder über "Schwarz-Weiß" konvertier, dann behalten auch hochformatige Bilder ihre Größe. Aber da die über "S/W" bearbeiteten Bilder RPB bleiben, muss ich sie anschließend "mit den Fingern" zu Graustufenbildern konvertieren, da kann ich mir die Makros aus sparen.

Viele Grüße

[Makro]

Liebe Mitglieder, bin neu hier im Forum und habe ein kleines Problem: Bei der Erstellung eines neuen Makros (Dokumentgröße ändern – Graustufenbild erstellen – Bild schärfen) läuft alles perfekt, nur: bei breitformatigen Ursprungsbildern arbeitet das Makro einwandfrei, bei hochformatigen Bildern jedoch wird das Originalbild immer zu einem Breitformat verzerrt!!! Kann mir jemand aus dem Schlamassel helfen? Schon jetzt tausend Dank für Eure Bemühungen!

Hi dcarvalho84,

thanks for your answer! But I'm sorry, even though I work with the latest version (1.7.0.227) I can't find a button "K-Only" in the near of "replace image"!

I work with Mac Mojave

Please let us know how you get on!

Hallo AdamW,

in the version 1.7.0.226 I found a solution to place greyscale-images from Photoshop into Affinity Publisher, and then, after creating a PDF, to get real K-pictures!

Now, one day later, after updating to 1.7.0.227 the same document gives me instead of K-images pictured in CMYK.

What's wrong, how have I to proceed my work to get only K-images? Please, give me your statement in an easy understandable English!

 

Many thanks in advance

[Picture and text problems in Affinity Publisher]

Hi Chris, you're absolutly right - and I'm such frustrated you can't imagine!!! I swear, this morning it worked as I discribed in my last thread. And now, placing the same image results in a 4C-picture again! There is only one picture (Greyscale) that appeares after creating a PDF as a B/W-image. A L W A Y S!!! Even though it has the same alignments as all the others which I want to place. Does anyone know, when the regular software of Affinity Publisher will be available. I suppose there are any bugs  in this Beta-version which causes my problems. I'm forced to deliver B/W-pictures to my customer, because they only print one-coloured brochures!!!

[Picture and text problems in Affinity Publisher]

Hello, sorry that you didn't hear from me the last days, but I was too busy!

Now ich found the reason for my problem konverting 4C-images into B/W-pictures! When I change my 4C-image over "Mode" > "grayscale-picture" (Photoshop), the PDF-result will be a 4C-image!

However when I konvert this 4C-image over "setting level" > "black and white", I'll get the desired B/W-PDF.

I hope, you understand what I try to explain, because I use my Photoshop as a German version. So I'm likely not be able to the correct English terms.

Thanks to all who tried to help me and have a nice christmastime!!!

Thank you so much walt.farrel. That's really a good and easy way! I have tried the method Haakoo suggested (creating a text style) and
succeded too, but your method is great. So, many thanks to all the nice fellows who spent their time to help me.
Now I can begin solvin the other problem (placing a Black and White-Image without changing into a '4- or 3-colour picture depending on CMYK or RGB).
I hope you to have some further good Advices for that Problem!

[Picture and text problems in Affinity Publisher]

Hi chris26,

unfortunately I don't come to an end with your hints in relation to my problems with the 'Black and Wite'- Images.

Here I try it to explain it in a more understandeable way. My original image is a '4-colour-picture' (RGB). I converted this Picture via Photoshop in a 'Black and White'-picture (grey-gradient mode). So this image contains of one chanel. My desire now is, to place this picture to Affinity Publisher just as it is (only black). But each time I ty to transfer to Affinity, the result of that image after creating a PDF is a 4-colour (CMYK)-image!!! That cannot depend on the attitudes of Adobe Adrobat pro, because when I make a PDF with the same picture with InDesign, everything's OK. I'm very desperated!!!

[Picture and text problems in Affinity Publisher]

Another problem!!! All my text copied into a Publisher textframe is not only Black but 4-coloured. But of course flowing text should be one-coloured, black and overprinting! HELP!!!!!

[Picture and text problems in Affinity Publisher]

Thanks for all your advices! Moving Text from InDesign to Publisher make no problems. What I want is to place a text from WORD into a Publisher-textframe via clipboard. When done, this text should change into the allignments of the Publisher-text frame. For example: My WORD-text is Helvetica 10pt and my Affinity-Textframe has the allignment Times 12pt. After the placing of my WORD-text this text shoult have the attribut Times 12pt!

[Picture and text problems in Affinity Publisher]

Hi folks,

Because of the lack of English-Kowledge it will take some time to come to understand (or not???) your suggestion on my first question. This I will do later!

Point 2:

I interprete your hint to take over Text from WORD to PUBLISHER in this way, that in the end I will have to change the preferred attributs in Affinity anyway!?

Thats, what I do since I changed from InDesign to Affinity. I 'cut and paste' the text from WORD without any changes and change the text in PUBLISHER. That's 

not impossible for me but sometimes very time-consuming. When I placed a text from WORD to InDesign some times ago, in the rule InDesign took over the

WORD-text and transferred it into its own attributes (that I created before). When this not possible with Affinity Publisher yet, I have to accept it, hoping for later versions!

Good Night for today!

Hi Chris26,

first many thanks for your promt reply. Give me please a littele time ton translate correctly and to understand and to try out what you suggested.

I will report later.

[Picture and text problems in Affinity Publisher]

Hello,

my name is Vinzent, I'm a new user of Affinity Publisher and I' sorry, that my English is not that good!

So I have a lot of questions! Here the most importand two:

1. When I place a "Black and White-image" into a picture frame and create a Pdf, that "Black and White-Picture" then has been changed into a 4-Color-Image!

Please give me a hint to solve that problem!

2. After marking text-elements from a WORD_Document and placing it by "Cut and Paste" into a text frame, this text will not change into the same "Text-frame-attributs"

(Size, Typo etc.) of the Affinity text frame!

I hope, you will understand my problems and so I'm looking forward to your aid!!!

Many thanks in advance
