OdFori Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Hi, I see that in Batch jobs you can resize by typing in only a width or only a height, and it will keep the aspect ratio, which is nice. I was wondering if it's also somehow possible to make all images half the size, regardless of the resolution or the aspect ratio of the images. Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 There is an A for Aspect Ratio which needs to be checked after you enter the same 'size' into the W and H fields.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OdFori Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 You but that makes the images still fit in the same max width/height. What I meant is that it will be In half, even for potentially vastly different scales: 100 * 50 = 50 * 25 15000 * 100 = 17500 * 50 4 * 4 = 2 * 2 Sorry if that was a bit unclear. Would such a thing be possble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Try setting the W field to w*.5, or the H field to h*.5 OdFori 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiWe Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Scaling by a percentage of the original image does not seem to work. But you can include macros in a batch job. Maybe that could be a workaround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can only set specific widths or heights, and only by using a complex method involving Filters > Distort > Equations....

MiWe Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Gave it another try ... wPOINT5 works ... if you use wCOMMA5 it does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that's true in general for field expressions, or if it's a bug in the New Batch Job dialog? (And if it's been reported?)
