Nigel Kendall Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Hi, I have been trying very hard to get a simple 300dpi macro to work on a batch of 200 images. I have tried them in JPG and Affinity Photo format, but nothing seems to work. The only time it has worked the images have been left without their individual ratios. Help!

walt.farrell Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 There's a bug in recording macros that has existed since 1.7 and which causes problems like you have described. Try using the macro provided here, which was recorded using Photo 1.6.

Nigel Kendall Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 Thanks for the advice. I have used the macro you have suggested without success. The images still become distorted. Is there anyway of knowing if the macro has downloaded successfully? I use a iMac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will check later as I haven't tried it on 2.2.1, nor on a Mac since I acquired one. Can you provide more information on how you used it, perhaps a screenshot of the Batch dialog where you applied the macro? If the macro loaded into Photo, it was downloaded successfully.

walt.farrell Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I've now tried it using 2.2.1 on my Mac, and the macro seems to have worked fine. Perhaps you're doing something else, in addition to the macro, that is distorting the images?

John Rostron Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 @Nigel Kendall, I am the author of the ChangeDPI macros recorded with Photo 1.6. I have just tried it using 2.2.1 on my PC and the macro works fine, both as a one-off and as a batch.
