markus985 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Hi there, I am looking for an application that allows me to bulk-resize images to a max-width. I noticed most apps I tested can bulk-resize images, however this is problematic if then a smaller image gets upscaled (which should definitely not happen). I thought Affinity Photo for sure can do that, but I am not successful yet. I only noticed that there are lengthy discussions about this topic (years ago) and people who worked a lot to create macros. Macros I don't know what they are all doing, and if it still works well. Is there still no solution for that in Affinity Photo? The only way I found that offers a GUI is https://optimage.app/ to do that. However, as I purchased Affinity already, I would prefer to do it with Affinity Photo. Any update and information on that? Markus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markus985 Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 Thanks a lot! I didn't find it the most intuitive way, it's also not possible to just drag and drop images into the source. However, it does work. What's the reason for unticking parallel processing and ticking A box? If I understand, I probably can memorize better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I understand, I probably can memorize better "A box" is for the Aspect Ratio. Keeps the pictures from being stretched or squashed in either Height or Width. The Parallel processing ... I don't know. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markus985 Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 Perhaps you'll read this again - I tried the batch job again, but the OK button is always greyed out. I remember, a couple of weeks ago when we talked about this, the same happened but I made it somehow work. I don't see any setting I could change to make enable the "OK" button at the batch job dialog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markus985 Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 @walt.farrell on my 5th attempt I managed it .. I think you need to Authorize on root level. I always just selected the destination folder I wanted the files to be saved. I cannot even show now, because now I cannot "unnauthorize" to show it again. I assume the solution is to just pick the root folder on the system for authorization. It did work at least. walt.farrell and Old Bruce 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
