theste Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 The title says it all. I am batch processing all a lot of photo to make .affinityFile > DPI to 300 > add B&W and Levels settings > canvas to A4 Now that is all great, but I would love if it could make it, so the image was just linked and not embedded to save size. Is that possible at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 If you're Opening, it is neither Linked nor Embedded. Those statuses are for Placed files. You would have to use File > New and then Place a file to get it Linked.

Just trying to get file size down. 5gb is a lot of space haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Though could export/save the files in JPG, TIFF, or PNG format to save space. But then you went be able to easily revise the adjustments later. Do you might want to also keep the original images.

I link to keep the edit files, so I don't need to re-edit again or if I need to do a re adjustment to the level etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
