polle Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I have an Affinity Photo file with a canvas size of 500x300 pixels and I have 180 layers with one logo in each one of them. I need to export all of them to end up with 180 JPG 500x300 pixels files. I tried export persona but I end with 180 logos in different sizes, the export is not using the canvas size to export. How can I export all layers to files and use the canvas size? Thanks. telemax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telemax Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I was solving a similar problem. To do this, each Logo layer must be nested in a rectangle the size of a canvas.

h_d Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 The Help for Export Persona specifically says Quote When you export a Layers panel item as a slice, the slice will automatically size to what is considered to be the extent of the selected item. So I don't think there's any automagical way of exporting to the same size as your canvas. As alternatives to @telemax's solution, you could re-draw all the slices before export to fit the document size (nightmarish for 180 logos...). You could create a macro to resize the canvas and then run the output images through an Affinity Photo batch job. On macOS you could use the command-line tool sips to pad out the exported slices with white. I'm not very familiar with IrfanView on Windows but something similar might be possible...

telemax Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Artboards in Affinity Designer also work as a rectangle. In some cases, it may be more convenient to use artboards in Affinity Designer, since there is a better visual control. But the artboards will require renaming manually.

Lisbon Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I manage to do this but i had to use ImageMagick and save as PNG. In Affinity Photo i exported my document as PSD. ImageMagick command: convert -dispose Background Image.psd -layers coalesce Layer.png Transparency kept. This time saving as jpg. convert -dispose Background Image.psd -layers coalesce Layer.jpg NotMyFault 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polle Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 Thank you everyone for the suggestions, but I am truly looking for this to just work as any image editor in the world does. For anyone looking into this, the answer for this topic is: It is still not possible and you have to do it manually or find another solution. Cheers.

Armelline Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Adding this to Crop To Selection as features I scratch my head as to why are so difficult in Affinity Photo. I have a few hundred layers of differently sized items that i need to export all to images with the canvas' dimension. Super easy in Photoshop. As far as I can tell, impossible to automate in Affinity Photo. Has any easy way been found since the last post in this thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside: This is one of the things that has to be in a new version before I will pay money for the new version.

Armelline Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Absolutely. This and crop to selection are the only improvements I've really found myself needing, so I will absolutely not pay for any upgrade that doesn't include them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyFault Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Does Publisher offer a solution, e.g. could publisher create 800x600 pages from layers inside a afphoto document, or using the individually sized png exports? The image frame should do the trick, i would assume, Quote Mac mini M1 A2348 | Windows 10 - AMD Ryzen 9 5900x - 32 GB RAM - Nvidia GTX 1080 LG34WK950U-W, calibrated to DCI-P3 with LG Calibration Studio / Spider 5 iPad Air Gen 5 (2022) A2589 Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.
