Freddie360 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Is there feature for saving images for the web like Photoshop 'Save for Web devices' in Affinity Photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 In APh you can create/setup new documents for defined web sizes, which the file export will then rely on. Further you can export via the export persona and setup different custom sizes there. - See: Document Setup Exporting - YouTube / Vimeo Exporting Export Compression Efficiency Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie360 Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 The video tutorials were interesting and worth looking at, but I was hoping for a 'one stop' solution like 'Save for Web devices' in PS. Maybe in the future AP will provide an equivilent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Media Lab Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Hi Freddie, The only difference between Photoshop and Affinity is the name. In Photohop "Save for web". In Affinity "Export" . DPI or PPI settings are of no use for the web and you don't have to bother about them! What do you miss from Photoshop? (I have CS 6) so maybe there is something essentiel that I don't know of.

Freddie360 Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 David, I have been using Photoshop since 1990 and welcome Affinity Photo and will be letting Adobe Creative Suite go in favour of the Affinity programs when I update to OS Mohave. However, AP is not yet PS in some areas, not being able to key in metadata and 'Save for Web devices' shortcut being but two. The later is very useful when you are building an image heavy website where the images are constantly being changed and updated. I can do it manually in AP but it takes a lot more time, despite using Macros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Media Lab Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Yes now I understand what you want. I use Sublime Text in combination with Affinity to upload all images. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Kinney Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I have never used Affinity Photo but am considering it. I use a Photoshop macro in my application which involves (1) resizing a photo [typically reducing the width while constraining proportions], (2) using the Photoshop "Save for Web" for saving a much-reduced file size of the photo without changing the pixel dimensions, (3) saving the resized & compressed photo with the same original name with the "replace" option, and (4) closing that photo. I have hundreds of photos to process this way for every event I work. Can Affinity create a macro to do these steps? Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rostron Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 18 hours ago, Jim Kinney said: Can Affinity create a macro to do these steps? Thank Not as a regular macro. However you should be able to use a macro to do the resizing to a fixed size. (Search the Tutorials Forum for Macro for fixed size.) Having got your macro, you should be able to perform the rest of your operations as a batch job which calls the macro.
