Relative Resize and Crop (Affinity Photo)

[rui_mac]

Please, add a Percentage option to both Document and Canvas Resize.

And, please, add a relative option to Canvas Resize. Sometimes we just want to add to or subtract from the current size.

Yes, I know we can type mathematical expressions in the numerical fields. But it is much easier to just type 5 or -5 than placing the cursor to the right of the number and them typing +5 or -5.

Yes, please!  Please add Relative as an option.  It's so much easier to use, and more importantly, so much easier to understand.  I've finally learned how to get what I want from Resize but it has given me fits in the process.

I use Photoshop's Image > Image Size feature all the time, and I must say that the addition of "Image Size" within Affinity Photo's "Resize Document" sheet would be welcomed.  And then when you change the DPI or dimensions, the display in Photoshop says something like this:

 

Image Size: 24.5MB (was 64MB)

 

The key part of that is the part in parenthesis.  I think that is what rui_mac and LilleG mean by "relative size."

 

And when implementing this, please make the Image Size calculation to be FAST.  In Photoshop the calculation changes as you type in a new PPI value.  It's immediate with no delay at all.

 

All said, you have my full backing for this very useful and important feature request.

[LilleG]

No, that is not what I mean by Relative at all.  In Photoshop's Resize Canvas there is an option called Relative and what it does is disregard the numerical values of the current canvas size and allows you to just specify a new amount to be added to the existing image.

 

For example, since I am working in inches this allows me to add a 1 inch border around a canvas by simply entering a 1 into the size boxes.

[JDW]

No, that is not what I mean by Relative at all.

Then I shall post my idea as a separate feature request.  

 

Thank you for the explanation.

I'd like to see this as well, adding a border to an image is really simple with relative sizes on canvas size.
