LetoAtrell Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hi there! First of all, I really love the beta of Affinity Photo!!! Just played around with it a little bit and noticed that it is not possible to resize the document with percentage values(or I missed it) - only with pixel value. For me this is a big thing because I'm always trying out sizes with the zoom and than resize the document according to it. Keep it up! cheers Leto (Harry) Aftemplate and pxlbltz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pxlbltz Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Hi Leto, I miss this option too. You can resize percentage wise by adding an asterisk and a fraction after the pixel value, for example if you want to scale down your image (according to your attachment) to 50 % enter 1280 px * 0.5 in the "Width" field. Not very convenient but maybe this is helpful :) Cheers Marcus Christofer and LetoAtrell 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Harris Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 You can also use 1280 px * 50% if you prefer percentages to fractions. LetoAtrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnyb Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 You don't even have to retype the original value either... you can just type *=50% Christofer, LilleG and pxlbltz 3 Quote 2021 16” Macbook Pro w/ M1 Max 10c cpu /24c gpu, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Ventura 13.6 2018 11" iPad Pro w/ A12X cpu/gpu, 256 GB, iPadOS 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serkan Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hi there, I downloaded the beta version today and the results are promising. Anyway, I was going to start a new topic but I came up with this one... Thanks for the tips... Those above might be working but there should be a more convenient way to downsize the image (just like the option in Export --> jpg). I would rather have this resize option in the main image adjustment menu, because for instance using unsharp mask after downsizing should be the way to go I think.

japr1949 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Speaking of resizing, Affinity Photo saves documents and requires exporting to save as a .tiff, .jpeg, etc. In the 'Resize Document' box on any .nef file I work on the DPI is shown as 96. Now on Photoshop, if you drop 'resample' and increase the resolution you get a corresponding decrease in the size of the image. This doesn't happen with Photo. How about linking DPI and image size so you can get a high resolution and smaller size simultaneously? And since DPI changes do not change the image size, what exactly is Photo doing with regards to resolution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacknumpty Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 You need % in the dropdown so that you can use % with macros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjadoodle Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Hi guys Has this feature been added yet? I really need to be able to resize by %, and save it as a macro. The current methods don't work (I've tested the demo recently). I would love to buy this software, but this is one of the main feature I will be using. Thank you in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninjadoodle Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Hi @owenr Thanks for the tip, but yeah unless I can record macros, then its not of much use Would be awesome to hear from the Affinity devs, whether this is something they are planning to add.

I believe that you can record macros for this using a method similar to the macro described here. However, the macro must use Filters->Distort->Equations to do the resizing. That means that you cannot choose the resizing algorithm; you're limited to whatever undocumented method that Distort->Equations uses.

Ninjadoodle Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Hi @walt.farrell Thanks for the info! I guess that's one workaround I've already bought Affinity Designer, but I would still like to hear from the devs, before getting Affinity Photo/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we've pointed out above, you can already resize using a percentage. So, to be clear, do you really mean that you need a resize with percent that you can use in a macro? Or something else?

I don't want a new user (or someone I teach) have to go to a forum and ask people to find out a hidden method. I want it explicitly shown in the interface. ronnyb and Aftemplate 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pxlbltz Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I agree with eobet on this. Every image processing software I've used until today had the option of resizing an image by percents. I never had the need to resize by yards or meters. Apart from that it would be very easy to add rescaling by percent. It's been four years since this thread was opened. I have no idea why Affinity doesn't bother to add this feature. Aftemplate, ronnyb and Mapanggulo 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mapanggulo Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 This is something I'm trying to figure out now on the program. I downloaded it today to try it out. Makes it so easy to have a % percentage option as a selection in a drop down to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATP Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Percentage would be quite nice to have in the drop-down so we can create macros, it'll also make it easier for beginners who don't know about the current way which feels a bit clunky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For resizing, macros record/remember only the final result, not the method of calculating it. Simply having the ability to specify a percentage would not change that.

BadSpencer Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 If you add scripting facility to Affinity products, users could create such simple function on their own. Is this ever planed? ATP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
