Good afternoon!

I'm new here. I recently bought AP after working with Photoshop for many years. My wife and I take a lot of pictures. That's how I photographed more than 100 days this year. We use different cameras and recently also occasionally a smartphone.

Unfortunately, this means that the original image formats are different. For example:

3648 x 2736 px            72 DPI
4000 x 3000 px          180 DPI
4864 x 3648 px          180 DPI
3968 x 2976 px            72 DPI


So that I come in the post-processing of the images to approximately the same results, I have set up in PS the exemption tool (= cutting in AP) so that I use it in the course of editing all images in the format

13.33 x 10 cm = 1574 x 1181 px with 300 DPI.


So far I have not found this option in AP. How can I achieve this? It is very tedious if I have to cut each individual shot while editing. Especially after vacation or travel I have to process 50-70 or more pictures every day.

 

If my English is not correct, I apologize.

 

Best Regards

Hello Guzzi,
so that your pictures are reduced to target size, would be  the batch processing in connection with a macro my idea.
Here is a tutorial on batch processing.

Attached is simple macro for the image size 1574 * 1184 with 300 dpi

Cheers

Hi Gnobelix.
Your suggestion could be what I imagine. However, I can not import your macro, probably because the file extension .afmakro is wrong. If I change these, however, on .afmakros comes an error message:

 

= Unexpected macro format. Error loading the file "C:\Users\XXXXXX\ Download\ ...a.s.o."

I am using Windows 7 Prof.

Best Regards

Guzzi

The file extension is correct, but a *.afmacro file (which contains a single macro) must be imported via the Macro panel, not the Library panel.

Hi Gnobelix!
1) I have now imported your first macro via the Macro Panel. But it did not work.

2) Then I imported Imagesize.afmacros via Library Panel. When I run batching with it, it WORKS AS WANTED. Thank you very much!

Good Night.

Hi Gnobelix!

Unfortunately, I was happy too soon. In the meantime I have installed the current version 1.6.5.123. Batching with the Imagesize macro does change the pixels but not the DPI (should be 300). I would be glad about a correction.

In addition, the change date does not seem to be entered in the EXIF data.

Cheers

Hello Guzzi,
usually the update should have no influence on the macro.
The macro does not make any changes in the Exif data.
In the attachment, the new macro
I hope it works the way you imagine.

 

Cheers

Hi Gnobelix,
again me. Two days ago I installed your new macro and it worked. Today I wanted to use it again, but only the pixel sizes are changed, but not the DPI. What can be the reason? The PC was restarted in the morning.
I also deleted and re-imported the macro - no change.

Greetings

Hi Gnobelix!
Now I've found a way to work with your macro. Although the switch to 300 DPI does not work in batch processing. But when I click on the macro individually for each photo, it does exactly what I wanted. This is a very good, simple and fast solution. Many Thanks.  Is it possible to set a shortcut for it?

Greetings
Guzzi

Hello Guzzi,
I'm afraid that's not possible right now to create a shortcut for macros.
I have started a batch process with the macro there were no problems.
All images have a size of 1574 x 1184 px with 300 dpi.
That's why I can not comprehend why it does not work for you.
I'll take a closer look tomorrow.
Cheers
