Fixed cut size

[cje]

Hi, 
I'm having a lot of images which need to be cut in same size. Is there a way to make the cut size fixed i affinity photo?

Do you mean crop, if so you can create a macro to crop an image then use File New Batch Job… and use that macro to automate the cropping of multiple files.

Thank you. Yes, cropping, but not batch jobs. 

I would like to see the possibility to set a fixed crop size instead of entering them manually each time. 

After a product photo shoot you have  bunch of images you would like to crop. Entering the crop size manually take too much time....

Using the Resample mode in the crop tool set your fixed crop size then save as a preset. When you next use that preset it will become the default crop value for future crops

I searched for "Resample mode" but didn't find anything with that phrase.

Thank you, it solved one issue. 

But, I'm experiencing that the size is not relative to the size of the photo. Which will force me to adjust the size of the crop manually, which again will make the size of the products, in each photo, appear differently (if I'm not lucky with my manual adjustments). So, is there a way to make the fixed resample crop relative to the size of the photo?

(When shooting product photos the position of the product, the distance between the camera and the product, and the zoom is fixed. Which will make the size of the product, in each image, relative to the size of the image, more or less similar.)

Hi cje,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
To work as you wish we needed to have the ability to save a preset for custom pixel sizes in Unconstrained mode but currently this is not an option/possible. I will pass your feedback to the dev team to see what they say.

Hi cje,
Can you provide a few mode tails about your workflow please? Do you need to adjust the crop frame position for each image individually keeping the pixel dimensions you specified or crop them keeping the same crop frame position for all of them?

Not to jump in, but most likely what cje needs is how the Crop Presets worked in 1.6.5.
