Sometimes I just need a break... and a challenge 😁 Going back to the good old days with this work. What do you think? Cheers. P.S. - Made entirely in Affinity Designer (lots of layers, transparencies, gradients and symbols).

I have tried to make an online version of artwork I produce for my job but I can't seem to figure out how to make a macros for it, even though I know AP is capable of it. My project is this: 1. Open any jpeg or flattened pdf file and open in Photo 2. Reduce the image size for web use to 72ppi (its always going to be a 300ppi file that is really for print) and make it 350px in height ---doesn't matter on the width 3. Make canvas 400x400px so that the image is now centered on this new size 4. Add a soft shadow on this image on this new canvas size 5. Get me to the point I would just tell the app where I want to save it to I can do this macro (action in PS) in Photoshop without any problem, but I am pretty sure I can do it in AP too. Just a little lost. Attached here is the action in action in PS with a random image from the web to demonstrate what I want to achieve. When I try these same steps I used to make this action in PS in Photo, I get a stretched image that never works and it never really finishes the macro or so it seems. The image winds up being stretched and far from the canvas off to the lower RH side... SO I must be doing things wrong. Web file Action_.mov
