Affinity Photo - Resize Photos using Macro/Batch

[ozphoto]

If I have a number of photos that need to be smaller for posting or emailing how do I create a macro that uses the batch method to do this? I now how to record a macro and use the batch tool but cant seem to get them to work together? The only time the record button is active is if I open one of those photos?

A macro cannot invoke the batch process. However, a batch process can invoke a macro and run it against a set of images.

But why do you need a macro? A batch job can directly resize images.

A batch job can resize images but I dont want to keep setting it up all the time, I would like to have say 30 images resized to a quality of 70 for example and keep these settings thats why I suggested a macro if there is a way to keep the quality at 70 for many batch jobs that would be great? It just keeps going back to 100 once the batch is complete though?

Unfortunately, Affinity macros will not export for you, so you cannot modify the quailty. You will have to use the Batch processor and setup the export parameters there.
