Batch jobs allow a number of image files to be processed: specific processing instructions can be automated, boosting workflow efficiency.
About batch jobs
The Batch Job feature allows you to specify an unrestricted number of source files to process and export. Raw files will be automatically developed, and both the exported file format and image dimensions are configurable.
To start a batch job:
From Affinity Photo 2's Home screen, tap the New icon.
Choose New Batch Job.
Below the Source Images list, choose Cloud or Photos to bring up a file import dialog for your selected location.
Select your desired image files (including raw files) to add to the Source Images list and tap OK.
Set your Output options (see below for more information), then select OK to begin batch processing.
