Batch processing Photos and cropping


Recommended Posts

So the next problem is batching color correcting multiple photos .. Affinity uses a poor preset function to try and do color correcting to multiple RAW photos .. it’s something we use a lot when shooting sports and creating galleries of photos needing the same corrections. Photoshop allows us to select photos.. color correct one photo then apply it to ALL selections and then save them as a group... so far not very usable in AFFINITY.

If it were up to me I’d keep Photoshop for us daily users and Affinty for weekly users. Just the crop tool alone I’ve been trying to create a preset that crops photos at 15 inches (long side) @ 180 dpi and it can’t do it. It always wants a preset specific vertical height. Forums haven’t been helpful at getting around this.

It is unclear to me whether you are wanting to crop the document or to resize it. If you want ro resize each document to 15in on the longest side, then you could just enter 2700 pixels (15x180) in each of the W and H boxes in the batch processor. Failing this you could use my macro that will resize a document to a fixed maximum size. You could  modify the macro to first set the dpi to 180, and then specify 2700  as your maximum size.

Won't modifying the macro break it, or has the "resize in a macro" bug been fixed recently?

I thought it had, but if not I could provide the OP with a macro for 2700px compiled in v1.6 which should work OK.
