Hello MEB I am Using Affinity Photo windows pc I have watch the video on resizing and canvas resize, I guess I must be dumb. I do not understand why there is two ways to resize, resize image and resize canvas. All I want to do is resize my photo smaller so the file is not so big. Following the video is really very frustrating. Can you tell me how to do a simple photo resizing??

I do a lot of photo work and resizing is done a lot in my work. I hope MEB can help on this Hi wumpabill, if your goal is to reduce the resolution of your image then just use Resize Document and enter a new resolution into the Size box.
Resize Canvas is for resizing the 'work area' of your document and you needn't worry about it in this case. Hope that helps. The image/canvas resize video is perhaps a bit too involved and could benefit from scaling back the detail a little, I'll put it on the list! Hi wumpabill, Resize image (menu Document ▸ Resize Document. )will resize the whole document (the canvas area + all layers will be resized). Resize Canvas as the name implies (menu Document ▸ Resize Canvas.), only resizes the canvas area, that is, the white (or transparent if you set it to transparent) area where the layers sit above when you start a new document.
Although the canvas area is not 'visible' when you open an image, it is still there below it. You can check this if you change to the Move Tool select the image in the layers panel (make sure it's not locked) and drag one of the corners - you will see the canvas area (transparent - represented by a checkerboard) behind it. You may want to use this to add more space around an image to add more elements/images to create a composition for example. If you want to resize the whole image to make it smaller (or bigger) use the File ▸ Resize Document command. Just insert the dimensions you want and press the Resize button. Is there a simple solution to resize an image from 424px x 454px to 300px to 320px. Just seems to change the resolution and not the image hight and width?
Thanks, in the meantime, I'm having to use Pixler for speed. Assuming you're in Affinity Photo, Document Resize Document will let you change the height and width, as long as you have Resample checked. Alternatively, with the Move tool selected, you could use the Transform studio and change the height and width there.
You may want to lock the aspect ratio to avoid distortion. By the way, if you do resize from 424px x 454px to 300px to 320px you will have a small amount of distortion. To maintain the same aspect ratio you would resize to 300px x 321.2 px.
Using macOS has one advantage of being equipped with all the amazing applications that allow you to work on a number of important files. There are several such files that require manipulation, viewing and much more. You may have to read documents, edit pdfs, or take screen shots or resize images with iPhoto or Preview on macOS.
There are some ways with which you can resize your images on macOS. There are two very good applications that macOS offers, the iPhoto and Preview. Both of these applications are very much adequate for our task. The iPhoto is a predecessor of the famous Photo application and Preview is an all-rounder application that can perform reading documents, PDFs and view images.
Preview: Resize Your Images The Preview application is one of the crucial apps in Mac OS. It is useful for a number of different tasks like signing PDFs with a touchscreen, viewing and manipulating images etc. The Preview app can perform quite good with the images.
When it comes to their manipulation like resizing. It’s a very good application for photos than the other apps on your macOS. To perform quick resize, this is one of the best applications to use. Preview does not require you to import the images into the library. The image can just be opened by double clicking or command clicking with the preview option. With this, it unlocks the aspect ratio of the image to allow free resizing.
Here is how to resize images with Preview:. Double click the image or select multiple images and open using Command-click to open with preview.
Go to Tool Adjust Size. Go to Fit into the textbox and insert your custom size or preset size.
Click on the padlock if you intend to freely resize your image. Click OK and go to File save to overwrite the image or. Go to FileExport to specify file format and image quality. IPhoto: Resize Your Images with iPhoto The iPhoto application was replaced with the new Photos application in past years. But if you are using Mac OS you probably have that iPhoto app on your computer. You can even go to the apple store and get the application on your system. In case you are using the older versions of Mac.
You probably have only the iPhoto app and not the new Photos app. If you intend to resize an image using iPhoto, you would need to add that image into the iPhoto library. If you are importing the images from some external imaging device, they might have already added into iPhoto library. Otherwise, you can drag the images and add them up. If there is an issue with photo library, you can get the photos.
Once you are done with adding images to the library then you may proceed to resize the images. The application keeps a hold on the aspect ratio and avoids the uneven resizing of the photos.
Here is how you can resize images using iPhoto: Launch the iPhoto application and select the photo to resize. Go to File Export. Go to Size and select from preset sizes or insert your desired size. Choose custom size to specify the width and height or go to dimension. Click Export and save the file in a specific location. You can choose the file type and compression quality along with the resizing of images with iPhoto. It also allows you to create a prefix for a series of images.
If it is required the bulk of images are there that you want to process. You can resize the images using these applications and export into the desired location. The Preview and iPhoto applications are two of the most interactive and easy apps on your Mac for image resizing.
