Digitizer Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Greetings, I think this would improve the experience in Affinity photo if there was an option to change into "percentage" among options such as pixels, points, centimeters, meters, feet, inches. Usage: Quick resize, helps in macro building and batch processing. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 In case you haven't discovered it, you can already resize using percentages. You can't change the units, but when typing in the boxes you can use percent values. Help is here: https://affinity.help/photo/en-US.lproj/pages/Workspace/expressions.html Others have suggested that it be made part of a pulldown option specifically, to make it more obvious. This does not help in recording macros, however. The current macro implementation records the result of the calculation. So if you start with 4000px and add 50% the macro records 6000px. Until Serif starts recording the action, rather than the result of the action, nothing will help in using macros to perform resizing.

Digitizer Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 Thank you walt.farrell for your reply. It can help in macros. Steps on how it can help, 1- While recording macro, if I set measure to "percentage", it should change the width and height value to 100 %. 2- I change the value of percentage to my desire. Please add this into your feature list. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 25 minutes ago, Digitizer said: It can help in macros. Yes, but only if both a percentage option for resize and a macro reimplementation occur. That was my point. A percentage option alone does not help. (And we already have a percentage option.)
