RM f/g Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 If not a bug, then unexpected behaviour. What I wanted to do: use batch process to change only the resolution of images, not their size in pixels. What I did: Opened image. Recorded macro: – Opened ‘Resize Document’ (from Menu > Document); – set DPI: (from 72) to 300; – unchecked ‘Resample’ – clicked ‘Resize’ button Ended recording, saved macro. When batch processing files using this macro, all processed files were resampled to the pixel size (at 300 ppi) of the original image, the image open when recording this macro. This resampling happened without maintaining the aspect ratio. The original image was a square image, rectangular images were resampled to square images. Ended changing the resolution of 215 images one by one.

walt.farrell Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Macros recorded in Affinity Photo 1.7 or later cannot change the resolution of an image without resampling, due to a bug introduced in 1.7 that hasn't been fixed yet. Rather than recording your own, try using the macros below, which will work as they were recorded by John Rostron using 1.6: Gabe 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...
RM f/g Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 Thanks, Walt. Where would we be without you – and John Rostron? Downloaded John’s macros and tried them. They work as expected, but only if document units are set to pixels. So I tried a new macro: set unit to pixels – run John’s macro – set units to millimeters. Happy to see we can use a macro wihtin another macro. walt.farrell 1 Quote Macbook Pro mid 2015, 16 GB, double barrel: MacOS Mojave + Affinity 1 (+ Adobe’s CS6)/ MacOS Monterey + Affinity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
