Affinity Photo: Rendering eps file while opening to pixel file with specified size

[jweitzel]

Hello friends,
every day on work I have to "convert" a lot of outline files (eps or PDF) to JPG or Tiff (for web/database purposes) with specified pixelcount and resolution (e.g. 2024 pixel at the longer edge @ 96 dpi). I've set up some automator and PSD-actions for that.
Until now, I did that with PSD where a well known dialogue is shown, where I can specify a lot of parameters (crop box or bounding box at PDF, size, resolution, color profile etc.)

If I see (and googled) it right, that's not with Affinity Photo!?
That would be rather awkward, if I have to do all that in future by taking a detour via AF Designer ...
There is often to do some composing in PSD, where I have to import several pixel files, but outline files, too (e.g. placing our company emblem in a picture).

Best wishes for second advent!

Johannes

File/ New Batch Job ought to resize the images, put the same number into the W & H boxes and leave the A ticked. Don't know about resetting the dpi to 96 though

Your answer is very impressiv! I didn't even know, that this is implemented in AFPhoto! Many thanks, David!

I think, this aims to the case, I have to deal several or a lot of files?
But what to do, if I'm retouching and editing several imported (pixel-)pictures in layers, and now I want to get the .eps-logo of my company or an eps artwork from a stock photo agency – rendered to a pixel-picture with color profile and dimension? (The resolution "@ dots per inch" of a picture is only mathematics, I know; what counts is size in absolut pixel count; but there are cases, where I do need e.g. "2024 pixel hights AND 96 dpi" .)

This is all day-work for me with PSD.

Sorry about my poor English ;-)

Thanks again!
Johannes

If you are editing an image then it's trivial to change the dpi using Document/ Resize document. Just untick Resample and enter 96
If you need to do this for many files as a batch job in Photo then give up. You can write a macro to reset dpi to 96 but it will only work on same size images whereas a Photoshop action will work on all
Best way I know to reset dpi is using Exiftool

exiftool -Xresolution=96 -Yresolution=96 *.jpg

according to this
https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=2164.0
it shouldn't work but it does

Your English is fine and Exif data is a minefield. Good luck

Hello David,

many thanks again to you for your help! In the meantime I have tried some files, and have *afterwards* understood your last aspect, i.e. changing the resolution of such a file in AFPhoto:

AFPhoto renders an eps *not* directly to pixels, but leaves the outline file as outline! So that one can change the size and resolution of the (pixel based) picture at will *after* it is opened in AFPhoto.
That's the point!

I think, the "problem" is solved in that aspect.

Coming from PSD, I missed the dialogues asking for size, resolution etc. (attached as pictures. German version).

Thanks again to you!
