oriwo Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 Hello, I have a problem with the macros under Affinity Photo, which I had always done with actions under Photoshop. I would like to use a macro to scale an image up to 110% in bicubic steps. Unfortunately, the percentage value is always converted to an absolute pixel value, so the macro does not work. How can I solve the problem? Oliver Schreibe eine Nachricht ... Quote ------ http://www.riwodot.de
John Rostron Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 You can enlarge an image using Filter > Distort > Equations. Simply set: x=x*1.1 y=y*1.1 Unfortunately the enlargement algorithm cannot be specified. However, using this in a macro will always do the sums rather than remembering the previous size.

oriwo Posted November 5, 2020 Author Posted November 5, 2020 "Unfortunately the enlargement algorithm cannot specified." ... this is exactly the problem if I want to control it consciously and use bicubic or Lanczos 3 here. Basically only the unit "%" is missing, so this should work but unfortunately this is only available in Photoshop and not in Affinity Photo. So it seems I've to do it with GraphicConverter 10 :(.

Even if % were directly available in the interface, Serif would have to change macro processing to save the actual values specified by the user, not the results of any calculation performed on/by those values.

carl123 Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 If you are doing multiple files at a time then File > New Batch job can increase the size by 110% (using maths) and change the Resampler to bicubic But for the one-off file it is easier just to resize manually Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.
oriwo Posted November 5, 2020 Author Posted November 5, 2020 For the sake of simplicity, I'm going to use GraphicConverter to touch up the process step. In fact, the macro mode in Affinity works differently than the action mode of PS, which, at least superficially, works like a open batch recorder. Oliver Quote ------ http://www.riwodot.de
