NinthDesertDude Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 So after ~1 decade of manually multiplying the width or height of an image based on the currently-open image's width or height (which is prepopulated in the width/height boxes), I just realized it'd be nice to have this by default. By long and far the most common use case is for having side-by-side variations of an image (e.g. a "before and after" layout or "step 1, 2, 3"). For this, multiplying the width by 200% or 300% of the current width would suffice. I've been doing that calculation by hand for a while, now. So my request is if the UI for the New image dialog to allow the new image's width and height to be expressed as a percentage of the currently-open image's width and height. Ideally if there is no image open, these controls would be grayed out (or hidden, as appropriate). There are 2 sections right now, "Pixel size" and "Print size"; maybe a third section like "Relative size to current". Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 What if the value boxes accepted simple calculations? Width: =800x2 Height: =0.5x600 I think this would be simpler as far as the UI is concerned. I recall another app I use does this (damned if I can remember what it is though...).

Lemonade Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Affinity does this, 800*2, 800/2, + and - too. Really useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, and thought about that too, though I think that was actually requested here once before and rejected as too much work. Or something similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
