The red icon bottom left doesn't do anything when you double click. Also when exporting and click Open Preflight doesn't do anything I can open the window via VIEW > STUDIO Other than that its actually much nicer to work in than indesign! : ) On 1.8.1 OS 10.15.2

Hey Just wondering how many people still save to 300dpi CMYK tifs nowadays for print or if anybody has experience with keeping images as RGB jpgs and letting Publisher (or Indesign) do the conversion when exporting to PDF. To save on file size/disk space. Look forward to peoples thoughts Cheers

Thanks guys Thomaso, yes I was surprised to see why Publisher and Designer give you document dpi options to be honest, never had to do that in Adobe. R C-R I change to FOGRA39 profile and quite often adjust levels/sharpness etc. Thanks again for your guidance.

Thanks Thomaso I think I'm getting my head around this now slowly, bit of a learning curve from 15 years in indesign but I'm liking the Affinity. I'm still not sure why 1. Image 1, displays the original image as a 72dpi jpg 2. Image 2, I replace (or update if I delete the original jpg) with the tif CMYK 300 dpi, yet it still says 72dpi on the right hand side (circled) 3. Image 3, If I completely place the image in again from scratch (ie command shift M) then it shows it as 300dpi correctly on the right (circled) Maybe I just ignore this, is this a glitch in the software? I think what you're saying is Publisher remembers the original image was 72dpi and keeps that displayed even though its actually a 300dpi image, either way as long as it doesn't impact on my print then I'm ok, I just didn't get it. Incidentally the Publisher document res is 300dpi as well. Thanks all

So i place supplied images into publisher at 72dpi (as that is how client supplies). When the client is happy with the design (they have a habit of changing imagery and sending new imagery etc) I go back and make all my images used in the document to 300dpi CMYK tifs in Photo (or previously photoshop) as I design for print. I'm new to Publisher so in Indesign I just used to update or replace and all seemed to work great. It might be that what I'm doing is ok and it will work but I want to make sure. I don't get why I change dpi in affinity photo, relink or replace in publisher and it still says 72dpi on right hand info panel. If I place the image in from scratch it says 300dpi (as in screenshots 1 and 2 on previous post).

Thanks Lars Yeah, so my jpg is 132x198cm - 72dpi. I convert to 300dpi (resample unticked) which brings the file to 31x47cm - 300dpi. Something I've always done for print jobs. Tried your way and still says 72dpi in preview box (see attached one file). If I place the image in afresh it shows as it should, 300dpi. Confusing the hell out of me, maybe Affinity can help? Thanks Stu

Hi I normally place 72dpi jpg images into doc for placement and then when all is approved I convert to 300dpi (Resample unticked) CMYK tifs for print and then update in Publisher. When I try and do this in Publisher and go to Resource Manager and click update it still says the image is 72dpi in the right hand info bar. I'm having to physically re-place each image to make it then show up as 300dpi. Am I missing something here? Thanks Stu
