@DM1 YES it looks great now. thank you so much for your help. sorry but just another quick question, is there a way to turn off the resample? set it to be permanently off? it seems like whenever i place an image that option is always turned on.

@DM1 new document with pixel size of 1920 x 1080. Then drag&drop or place image onto the new document. I’m unable to try what you mentioned on the other thread but I will let you know again.

@DM1 - okay so ive just exported in both jpg and tif and released there was no loss in quality. I imported the photo direct from cloud, instead of the first time where i created a new document and then place/drag&drop the photo in. i then went back to try importing the first jpg photo and increased 1% brightness and exported as a jpg. Ive noticed minimal to no loss in quality. which leads me to believe, is there a loss in quality when i create a artwork(previously 1920 x 1080) and place an image in it(regardless if its CR2 or jpg or tif) and export in any format, there is a loss in quality. @DM1/ @stokerg do you guys mind trying this out in your ipads, creating a artwork document(possible to record the document settings), and place/dragdrop the cr2/jpg into it and exporting.

stokerg - ''I've also attached the screenshot of the original image you posted, exported out as a JPG and then brought back in and placed on the original image. Layers are showing which is which, but again i can see any difference. I'm getting the same results as DM1. '' Did you mean - but again i can't see any difference? could you kindly download the file I uploaded, which is the exported cr2 into tiff, and see if there’s a loss in quality compared to yours I exported the CR2 file in tiff but yet experience loss in quality, and i notice your exports looks identical to original copies. Maybe its my import & export settings? @stokerg & @DM1 Can i ask whats your new document, import and export settings?

@DM1thanks for your help

DM 1 - Original image pixel size is not 1020 x 1080, no idea where you got it from, ive downloaded the file from where ive uploaded and it shows 1756 x 2535. Ive attached another JPEG image 1920 x 1080 exported from photoshop to show you a clear comparison, 3 images side by side are - left original image of 1756 x 2535, centre image exported from photoshop which is 1920 x 1080 with the placed original image, and right image is a 1920 x 1080 image exported from AP with the placed original image. there is a clear difference in quality. and when you say original image is of poor quality, photoshop is working with the same exact image, but exported image is clearly different. 2nd post - i have no idea what you mean by hard to pick a loss of quality, but just by previewing you can tell the difference.

to blende 1 - i cant reply to everything you've said, but ive attached an artwork exported by AP into different formats, placed by a CR2 RAW image. Export looks exactly the same, loss in quality. You can talk about my issue and workflow and how JPEG is bad, but PS is able to export and import JPEG without any issue, and im trying to get someone from AP to help with this, and i don't see why AP can't. IMG_0876.cr2 Untitled.tif

to DM 1 - Ive attached all the photos in the original post, it doesnt matter if 1920 x 1080 is pretty low res, it works fine if i export the same way on P and even though its the same resolution(1920 x 1080), theres a clear difference in quality.

Hi there, thank you for sharing, but i like to use lightroom first and export my raw files as a JPEG before moving it into photoshop(or AP now). If im able to export it fine on photoshop i thought it should work the same for affinity.

hi there, affinity didn't ask for permission and no issues with importing from photos. tried exporting and it works now. didn't change any settings. thanks for all the help anyways guys.

hi there, tried exporting with TIFF and result is the same. Untitled.tif

hi there, i import a JPEG, no modifications done yet, just drag&drop/place on and export. Same goes for the export in PS on my mac.

JPEG. able to export to icloud(documents) but unable to save direct to photos on ipad.

Hi there, photos are set to Read and Write.

Hi there, im having some with issues with the quality of photos imported/exported from ap(place image from photos and cloud/drag and dropped into AP from documents/photos), it lowers the quality of the photo, is there any way around this? ive attached photos of the original image, an exported image from AP, and an exported image from photoshop on my mac. thanks in advance. Edit: Attached image of export settings
