Scale Slice on Export

[John Mills]

Is there a way to scale a slice on export?

I have a large equirectangular image that I want to feed into another application at the highest resolution it supports. When I export the slice, it is too large for the receiving application (max 16384 x 8192). I'd like to be able to scale it to that resolution from within Affinity Photo during export.

A similar problem (set specific width and height):

See:

• the Export Slices Panel

... though what the online help doesn't tell very clearly for that help overview is, that instead of 1x, 2x, 3x, ..., you can also edit those fields via a double click and put some desired xxxh or xxxw size values into those.

True, the Help could use more info on that. But, at least if you click on the pull-down you get some good examples of the kind of specifications that are accepted

Another issue for the online help is, that it often doesn't show the panel images for other languages. For example here in this case the german online help doesn't have an embedded image. - So there are still inconsistencies between the localisations in the online help. - Missing (bug) or somebody from the doc team was too lazy to grab an image capture of that for certain different languages, thus omitting it for other languages in the online help.

Just to be clear, @v_kyr, that's a screenshot from the app, not from the Help   But yes, the Help still needs some work on showing the screenshots. And "other language" can even mean "US English". Only the UK English Help has all of them, I suspect. And sometimes the Help images for UK and US English, when both have an image, are different

I know that you grabbed it yourself from the app, I was instead referencing to my above online help link, where I detected in the online help the omission when switching between languages there.

Thank you for the help. I was able to get the result I wanted.

i have both the iPad and Windows version of Photo and was only reading the help for the iPad version. It seems this functionality isn’t available on iPad Photo (I hope they add it). I didn’t realize those arrows were clickable on Windows Photo.
