John Rostron Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I created a set of macros to change the DPI of an image, originally in Photo 1.6 which worked well then, and worked in later versions. I found however, thet re-recording these macros in later versions (including 1.10) do not work. I report here my investigations as to what is going wrong. I re-created the individual macros using a simple image to work on. They all seemed to work OK. I then tried on a different image and discovered that they do not. What seems to have happened is that the macro records the size of the image when recording, so that when applied to another image it resizes to that new size, despite the Resample box not being ticked. Edit: I have now added change DPI to 120. John Chris B 1 Quote Windows 10, Affinity Photo 1.10.5 Designer 1.10.5 and Publisher 1.10.5 (mainly Photo), now ex-Adobe CC CPU: AMD A6-3670.

Staff Chris B Posted September 28, 2021 Staff Share Posted September 28, 2021 Hi John, I've just got around to checking this one - you are indeed correct and I can easily reproduce this. I'll pass this to the developers. Thank you!

PaoloT Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I think I have the same issue in the Mac version (Photo 1.10.4, but it was also in the previous versions). 1. I start recording a macro. 2. Then open the Resize Document dialog. 3. Change the size and the resampling method, and confirm. 4. Stop macro recording. Playing the macro does nothing.

For this problem, the macro plays but does the wrong thing; it resamples when it shouldn't.
