Odd behaviour of macro

[LeonKershaw]

I open a document which first needs to be rotated by 90 degrees clockwise, which I do.
I then run a macro I created to change the DPI to 300 & that works fine.
However, if I run the same macro before rotating the document it changes the DPI to 300 but fails to untick the resample box resulting in a stretched image.
Why is this?

Investigating further it appears to depend on which orientation the document was in when I created the macro!

Surely this is wrong. The macro should surely perform such a simple operation regardless of which orientation the document was in to begin with.

Macros created in 1.7 or later cannot change DPI without resampling due to a bug that is not yet fixed.

And I believe that macros have always, when resampling, used the image dimensions (or possibly aspect ratio) at the time they were recorded. There have been feature requests to enhance this.

Thus, your macro will resample, and if the dimensions or aspect ratio are different from when the macro was recorded, it cannot work as you want it to.

You can find an Affinity Photo 1.6 macro to change DPI in the topic I have linked below:

Thankyou, most helpful.

You're welcome.
