ResizeImage in VBA not Working Correctly After Latest Update

Hi there,

I have a VBA script that I've been uses for ages. It does a couple of things including resizing the open image in pixels with the value entered by the user.

Ever since I updated to the latest 2020 version, the ResizeImage Method in VBA takes the value entered by the user and resizes the image in centremetres, not pixels. I have never had to set the Preferences.TypeUnit to pixels in the script but I did to ensure that wasn't the issue making it resize in centremetres. Still to no avail.

So at this stage I'm stuck as it looks like a bug. I cannot get it to resize in pixels at all.

Any help would be appreciated.

Do not depent on the user ruler setting. Save their setting, set ruler units to pixels, do your resize. Restore the user ruler units.

JJMack, you are a legend!

Setting the RulerUnits to 1 (pixels) fixed the issue.

Just a note for others, changing the TypeUnits to pixels (1) didn't help.

I end up with this:

appRef.Preferences.RulerUnits = 1

Where of course appRef is:

Set appRef = CreateObject("Photoshop.Application")

Thanks JJMack!

Does you script set ruler units to pixels or relies on the users current preference.

Thanks JJMack for the reply.

The script does not set the ruler units but relies on the current user preference.
