Affinity Photo - Fit image

[Fernando Ribeiro]

Hello

 

In Photoshop I have an action that uses the Fit Image automation (File > Automate > Fit image).

What this does is scale the image until both dimensions are within user defined dimensions.

 

Example: I define that all imagens should be reduced to fit 1200x1200px, independent of their original sizes or proportions. The Fit Image automation will scale the images so that the largest dimension of the image will become 1200px, keeping the ratio of the original image dimensions.

 

This is extremely useful when processing large quantities of imagens for e-commerce that need to fit a specific size.

 

So my question is if there is already this functionality in Affinity photo?

If not, can anyone suggest a way of doing this that could be run as a macro?

 

Thank you

It always pays to check the Affinity Photo tutorial page https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/10119-in-house-affinity-photo-video-tutorials/

 

A batch processing with macros video tutorial was just posted this past week:

I have this same question since I'm investigating going away from Photoshop and it's subscription model.

In my batch processing, I like to resize photos independent of their orientation (portrait or landscape).  In photoshop, this is done via File/Automate/Fit Image.

For my macro, I:

1. Resize to 4x6
2. Save 4x6-Print folder
3. Resize to 640 (for web)
4. Add a copy-right water mark
5. Save to "Web" folder

Is there a way to resize images in Affinity in this same way independent of their orientation?

(Please don't point me to a page with 100s of tutorial videos, I only have 10 days of a trial period to figure this out.)

TomUser check this tutorial.

To have a watermark you can create a macro and export first for print and then run the batch processing a second time for web, making sure you run the macro.

MartinsRibeiro,

Thank you. It seems you can specify the longest value in both Width and Height fields.

@MartinsRibeiro, I wrote some macros to do this. They are described here:  https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/52019-resize-an-image-to-a-fixed-maximum-size/

I would still like to see a "Fit Image" type of command  that can be used at anytime and is independent of save or export .
