Resize Photo To 5x5

[Christina Smith]

Ineed my (Android) camera to use the maximum resolution most of the time, but when I'm taking pictures of receipts or documents, whether I have Evernote set to use my Galaxy Note 3 camera or the 'Evernote' camera, the resolution is always way too high. I end up having to go to my desktop to open the various Evernote notes, right-clicking on each picture and resizing the image to 25% with Snag-it, saving, then repeating for each of the pictures I took. It's a real time sucker, but I don't feel right knowing that a picture of a receipt is as high quality (and therefore 'high' MB) as a picture of the sunset in Santorini.

It's good practice to keep picture sizes low, but you may be restricting the OCR feature if the resolution drops below a certain point. I had a search around the help pages but can't find anything from Evernote confirming details - though I'm sure I recall a post somewhere about Evernote's camera feature reducing the quality of pictures automatically to limit storage issues. It's certainly a bad idea to store pictures in Evernote that you want to use in HD later.

Android image compression apps would allow you to reduce the size of an image - some examples here - so it should be possible to take pictures to the Android gallery, reduce the files sizes and then attach to Evernote notes from the gallery or (paying members only) send them to the correct account / notebook via email.

If Scannable makes it to Android that might be an option - it's specifically designed for scanning documents anyway; or you could look at other documents scanner apps like CamScanner (free) which may have quality options of their own, and do OCR and upload to Evernote.

Thanks gazumped. Even at a 25% reduction my receipts still end up being well over 800x600, which ought to be good enough for OCR. On the other hand, I know exactly Zero about OCR so I could be full of it.

Yeah, I think I discovered that the last time I was in Greece, but I can't be sure. I know that none of the exif info was saved and that just about did me in. . I was taking my photos directly with the Evernote Camera because it was so neat to take a picture and immediately jot down travel diary-type stuff about the picture. I didn't bother including where I was because the GPS was taking care of that. I also didn't bother with when I took the picture, knowing it would be in the exif info when I got back home. I was not in a good mood when I discovered all that info had been stripped. I even lost the time because I merged all notes (with pictures) to create 1 note per day.

That was my thinking... I started looking for some yesterday. Looks like that might work. I wish I could just have a shortcut on my phone's main page for two cameras - one for photos and one for docs, but I haven't found anything that will allow me to do that yet. Still looking. I didn't think of a scanner app though. That might do the trick.

I really like the idea of including a quick "Image Scale" menu option in all of the evernote clients. I often drag and drop images on my desktop into evernote (screenshots of apps, photos of whiteboard drawings) because my desktop has all the software to access photos from anywhere. I never want to capture a new image directly from Evernote.

DTLow, that is a good workaround. I used to do that but I stopped a few months ago. I think I discovered that It didn't translate well when looking at the note in Android, or maybe just specifically on the phone. Responsive content (auto shrinking for smaller devices) is a tad problematic when dealing with tables. I wish I could remember the exact issue I was having..

I have hundreds of images of various sizes, mostly very large sizes, that I want to resize to a maximum width of 1920px, at 72DPI, RGB colour mode, JPG format. The height should be variable since the original images have various heights as well and I need to keep the aspect ratio to prevent distortions. (1)is this possible with Affinity Photo? (2)what would be the steps for the resizing to record as a macro. (I tried recording resizing one image and then use that recording for a batch job but AP used also a fixed height on every image resulting in many distorted images)

My case:

I have a lot of bikes photos (different sizes) on a white background. And I want them trimmed a bit, add the same margin and change the layout from horizontal to square.

The macro for this:

So, do you have any idea how to Resize canvas first to have a square layout and the same margins after saving and resizing to 1200x1200?

Or should I stop at 4, set resize on the batch process, then another macro on resizing canvas...?

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

Very similar to what I was looking for as well! I have to resize images for our photo club site. In Photoshop I have an action that will resize the width to 600px and the height will scale appropriately then add a square frame in white around the entire image. I Affinity the macro will do all that except the height will be the same as the image I used to create the macro - throwing off the dimensions!

I read through the above and I am working on the new batch job. Is there a setting that I am not seeing that prevents an image from being scaled up to the max size? I just ran a bunch of images and they fit in the resolution constraints but some images were scaled up.

I only use Affinity rarely, it's beyond my normal needs, so I often find it tricky. I've opened 130 images of diary pages which I want to make the same width before converting to pdf, but the OK button is greyed out and I wonder what I'm doing wrong. Cheers, CC

I would like to know if either Photoshop Express or Lightroom Moble apps have the ability to resize photos (in pixels) ? I need an app that I can standardize on across iPhone/iPad and Android Phone/Tablet. If not Adobe any suggestions. Thank you.

Can this be added as a feature? There is the option to save as a smaller image always by preference, but it would be nice to be able to resize on demand, even if it wasn't by pixels, but at least a few options (e.g.: large, medium, small, etc)

In the event adobe might be reading this; come on people! U would think such rudimentary functions were long ago contained in a shared library. And, if they already are, then your product people might want to do a historical analysis on basic image transform tools over time. You'll find that resizing an image or canvas is one of the most basic. Please add proper resize image/canvas functions to the similarly "basic" Photoshop Express software (I'm on Android ATM).

Ohhh... Adobe... "Basic" image/canvas transform tools" includes making an image or canvas LARGER than it is currently. There is very little excuse for not providing such basic functions in a basic/free program. It just annoys people and motivates them to look for an adequately capable tool. IMHO.

For the amount of money we pay Adobe monthly the fact that Adobe can't add the option to resize images in either Light room CC mobile or PS express is absolutely ridiculous. I can't say how many times I've needed to scale down an account pic (pintrest for example to 165x165 pxls) and the fact I have to go on to my computer to resize an object when I am holding a phone powerful enough to help pilot a space craft is ludicrous. Good thing the iPhone X (and the soon XS) is more expensive than some mid range Macbook Air but all I can do with my Adobe apps is edit my photos more or less exactly the same way as directly in the Instagram app already. Thanks for giving us a couple redundant apps that really serve no purpose to your design base.

It has a few features and a simple interface that I thought would work fine, but I can't get past the really unbelievable lack of image size information. There's a resize function with a slider allowing me to resize via the long side - in 200 pixel increments. Not great, but it could be usable - if the program showed me the other side. How exactly am I supposed to know if I want to resize the pic if I DON'T KNOW WHAT SIZE THE PICTURE IS NOW? What a joke. Uninstalling.

Exactly - I just complained about it now in 2020. There is an app called PhotoCompress which I've been using that kind of works. My son-in-law works at a mine north of the Artic Circle and they have a 6 Meg limit on email. If I'm sending him pictures I have to trial and error to get it right. I think it's a disgrace that Adobe will not fix this problem.

I think what we have to remember here is that although you can do an awful lot with Photoshop Express, it is still a very abridged version of the full Photoshop and cannot do everything. It is a great program for beginners to photo editing and I do understand that once we can edit in one program we expect all versions to be able to do the same type of editing. However, there is a crop tool and there are 34 different size templates that you can crop to which, in my opinion, is pretty good for free software.
