quinnballard Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Hi, I am trying to find a solution for the following: I have several folders of pictures that contain both landscape and portrait orientation images. Some of these images are as big as 6,000px + on the long edge, and some are as small as 2,500px on the long edge. The orientations and dimensions of the images are totally random in a given folder. I want to be able to select all of the pics in a folder – no matter the dimensions or orientation – and be able to have Affinity batch resize them to a the long edge I choose, while not enlarging any of the pics that would need to be upsized. Lightroom has a feature to do this (upon exporting images from a catalog), but I am looking for a way to do this in Affinity Photo. I don't want to re-import images back into Lightroom as a new catalog just to export them again with a new long edge. Is this possible?

John Rostron Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Several of us discussed this in this post. If you want, I can provide a macro version for the size you want. You will need this if you want it as part of a batch job.

quinnballard Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 @John Rostron Thank you so much for sharing that link. I totally missed that post when I was searching through the forums. I downloaded the macro and it looks so helpful and exactly what I am looking to do. Does it have any parameters to avoid upsizing? No worries if not – this is a great starting place and I know it will be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The macro can be parameterized, but this is inadvisable for use in a batch process. That link provides the information on writing your own version so you can hard-wire your own maximum size in there.

quinnballard Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 Awesome, thank you so much. I love how in-depth you went with it and it is really helpful to see how it works step-by-step. It didn't even come to mind about using a macro for the original need I had but now it seems as if that's the way to go. Thanks again!
