aoc Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Affinity looks good and pretty intuitive to use. What I am missing is a batch processor. My primary photo targets are birds; things that move pretty fast at times. So I usually shoot photos in bursts - same light situation, same settings etc, up to 20 images. To allow me to select the one photo I like, I want to process all of them the same, so applying a macro/batch processing them. The outcome of the batch processing should deliver good results. This is the one feature photoshop has ahead of all other photo processing software - it does good batch processing. I have tested other software (Nikon firmware, Corel, Gimp etc.) and they have all delivered unsatisfactory results. jclounge and dirkus 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aoc Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Amendment - there appear to be macros - but they don't work quite yet, so this request might be filled in a future update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeds Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Try Lightroom, I'd argue it has even better batch processing than Photoshop. And then the manner in which you can preview all of the resulting images is astonishingly better than working with Bridge and Photoshop. It's almost as though it comes from a universe outside of Adobe. // it did, they bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jclounge Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I concur with this idea, it would be great to be able to process many images at once. Furthermore, if such processing could be initiated from a command-line, this makes it a really solid tool in an asset pipeline! mikeindc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desmond Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Batch processing is on Andy's roadmap for Affinity Photo, it'll be in a free update after launch. Hi, has this happened yet? I'm busy with a 10 day trial and batch processing is important to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Unfortunately there is no batch processing at the moment, Desmond, but as Dale said, this feature will come to Affinity Photo in the (hopefully not so far) future … :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VisualNotes Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I would love to see this feature too. I think it's essential for every day photo editing work. Still i have to use two applications, while i would prefer to use only Affinity Photo for all steps of my photo editing workflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen_H Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Not just for photographers. I've just processed over a hundred product images sourced from the web of perfume bottles to be used in a product sample video. All had pure white backgrounds so I applied the following task order 100 times: Open Erase white paper Rotate 90º Export PNG Close I feel stupid having forced myself to do it in Affinity Photo when PhotoShop could've batch processed it all while I went on lunch, but hey, I'm trying to use Affinity products as much as possible to get completely comfortable with them so Adobe can stop being my "go to" apps. (difficult to do when the lasso selection tool's cursor obscures my view of what I'm doing. It's terrible) predick and 000 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william7 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I am curious if this will be a feature in the upcoming affinity DAM or if it is still planned for AP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Petzen Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 That will be very useful, any news about this feature? Also to who do not have a batch software, i recommend BIMP plugin for GIMP. http://www.alessandrofrancesconi.it/projects/bimp/ It may help until affinity batch comes.

VIPStephan Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Open Erase white paper Rotate 90º Export PNG Close Coming from Fireworks exporting lots of photos for use on websites I’m also used to such a workflow and would very much love this in Affinity Designer.

DaniN. Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I´d really like to have the batch processing feature to Affinity! That would be really handy when processing 300 astrophotos at once. As it is now, I cannot use Affinity for that purpose... Any news when this will be done ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boybrown Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I'll add my voice in asking for what i believe is a much needed feature. Still no news on when its going to happen? I can see this being added to the DAM package they are working on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradTheBluefish Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 ^1 - Up vote. Batch processing really needs to be included. I have been telling everyone about Affinity Photo but I have two people saying that the program MUST include batch processing in order for them to make the switch from Adobe to Affinity.

Maultierhirsch Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Please add an option for applying RAW settings using batch processing. I could not make a macro recording for that.

lvl99 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I'm in the "New Batch Job..." window, but it's missing a "Save to PSD" option. Please add! Or at least let me do batch exports based on an export preset... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Smith Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 so need Batch RAW processing similar to Adobe's camera raw, I bought Affinity with the hope of escaping Adobe's PS strangle hold but was disappointed that I could not batch correct images needing the same adjustment while live viewing. This seems like it'd be a basic software function especially knowing working photographers would be purchasing the software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's two of the reasons I will continue to use DxO Optics pro for batch processing RAWs until AP/AD or new Affinity DAM is released.
