csadam Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 By looking the other forum topics I've learned that resizing by percentage is possible by directly writing 50% instead of the pixel value. I also learned that to find out which value is the height and the width, I have to hover the mouse over the values because it's in the tooltip. I think it would be good to have hints for these options somewhere on the GUI. I also miss a list of the common sizes I could choose with one click, instead of writing values. By comparison, please see the Resize dialog of the IrfanView. It's a little overhelming at first sight, but every option is clearly labeled. The old and new values are there, no guesswork needed. The most common options are accessible with one click. I think you could use the ideas there to make the Affinity resize dialog more straightforward.

Synergist Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Agreed; the silent 50% interpretation is very useful but there's no visual prompt or hint to encourage users to try it. I spent a few minutes hunting for % resize modes in the various resize dialogs before giving up and coming here. IrfanView's Resize dialog is pretty great, though I wish some of the things like standard dimensions presets could be modified more flexibly. In AF, the various resize algorithms could also benefit from being better explained. Quote Hello world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
