How to adjust the size of slices according to the dimensions of the document?

[Kay G. Hermann]

Hi, I searched a lot on the internet but could not find a solution.

 

I created a document with multiple layers. Each layer contains an imported image of a specific size, let's say 512x512 pixels. The Affinity Photo 2 document with the layers has the size of 1080 x 1920 pixels. And I'm upscaling the imported pixels to fit the height of the document. I adjust the horizontal position to place the relevant content into it's center.

Now I switch to Export Persona, convert each layer into a slice and hit export all. These exported images have not the desired height of 1920 pixels but their widths is still very wide, with white pixels placed outside the visible area.

Of course I could go to each slice, and adjust the size of the slice with the mouse to fit the borders of the documents. This is cumbersome and prone for errors. Is there a way to automatically create slices of 1080x1920 pixels of size per layer?

Thank you!

Probably rasterize and trim all layers will do the trick.

Woop! That’s simple and efficient! Thx!

SliceDemo.afphotoI've tried to replicate what I think you've described and it seems OK to me - I get the 512 layer scaed to 1080x1080 as expected.

Attaching a demo here might help.

 

(Ah;  I was testing this while you posted!  Glad that solves it.  The only downside is that if the smaller images were linked,m rather than embedded, then rasterizing them will remove that link and make your new file larger.  That may not be problem for your use case though.)

Thank you for providing the demo. I'm afraid it did not capture my problem.

I attach my file. Slicer Problem.afphoto

As you see, the imported layers are enlarged and overlap the canvas. I would like to get a method that snaps the slices to the borders of the canvas. Borders of the layers should be ignored. To manually adjust the borders of the slices I would need to drag at least two corners of each slice until it snaps to the respective corner of the canvas.

Also, screenshot attached.

Put each image inside a rectangle (with no stroke) that's the size of the canvas;  then export those as slices.
