[aPhoto/Win] Question about batch processing & macros


Recommended Posts

Hi sveto :)

I'm not 100% sure of the answer here, so I've forwarded the question to our devs and will respond here asap!

Please note -

I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible.

Many thanks!

I would assume that your macro behaviour will depend on the size of the size of the document. 

Why don't you try it and see?

Example: I have a logo/watermark that is intended for 1300px wide images. If i want to batch resize the original images (4200px) and apply the logo/watermark, it should resize first.

Actually, with this pretty clear example, i could try it out. But it wouldn't hurt to point out such things in the manual - some processing is best applied on the full size image.

It looks like the macros get processed before the resizing. Although i still would appreciate a heads-up from an official source.

I lost half an hour testing this, because Af.Photo crashed multiple times when i did the batches. Turns out that the macro that places the logo/watermark crashes the program. :( But that's a topic for the bugs forum, i guess.

That's correct, the macro is applied first, then the resizing.

Sorry to hear this, if you haven't already please create a new post in the relevant section and our QA team can investigate and log this as required!
