  1. Yes, the 100% zoom is obvious. I get it. But in this case would not be the issue as they are both the same size and one is less defined as the other after merging the four images. thanks
  2. Sorry, I must have accidentally posted a double BUT if you look closely at one of the images, the merged layer is the top layer. So there is one image with a merged layer and one without. And yes, if you look closely, the merged layer image is much less defined (look at the top left malachite and compare). Not sure why would 100% zoom would have anything to do with it - its the same file, same ppi, same size. But yes, there is still an issue at 100%. I took two more screenshots with bottom layers tuned off so that it is less confusing
  3. Hi - When I "merge visible" layers the image becomes noticeably more blurry compared to the sharp image composed of layers layers - screen shots show with layers and with merged visible layers. Whats going on here?
  4. Thanks for the in-depth explanations.I learned most all that info form design school. Basically, I have never had issues taking a 20”x20” 72ppi down to a 10x10 72 ppi. Most of my job work is online social media images so I’m mostly dealing with 72ppi images. With affinity, when I change the dimensions of an image and export it to a jpg, then it gets mangled. I’ve figure a work around but something is definitely not acting like I usually expect when in other programs. This issue has been brought up in other feeds. Thanks for all your responses.
  5. So this might help. First, thx iconoclast for the great explanation. Maybe this will help figure out the problem: If I just resize the dimensions first and export as jpg, then open that file, reduce to 72dpi, everything looks OK. BUT if I resize document and reduce to 72dpi at the same time, then when I export to jpg, its all mangled. So BOTH are the same dimension and both are 72 dpi. But the more pixelated image had both dpi and dimensions reduced at the same time before exporting. Weird
  6. Not sure why that’s important? I can take a photo with my phone and use it in photoshop and nothing weird happens.
  7. Sure. I tried all types od jpg exports but they all do something to the file. the changes are not as drastic anymore (which is weird - im doing the same test) but I can still see a slight differnce between the two files. Ive never had this issue with any other application. I found another really old feed where people were having the same issue with exporting. And I read the entire 3 pages of and there didn't seem to be a real answer.
  8. Thanks for responding (I included both relevant screenshots and originals this time) - I am still having serious issues with my images looking good when I resize them AND just exporting same size to jpg. 1) I dont have any of these issues with any other apps I use such as Photoshop, Camerabag Photo, and even the simple Preview app on my mac to resize. I spent an hour trying different setting and different scenarios but no solutions. 2) I understand what you're trying to get across on the screen shot but the screenshot is neither here nor there - the screen shot is an example of what I am actually seeing at any size. The issue is occurs at 100% view. I'm taking a 40" x 40" 72dpi image and reducing it to 10"x10" 72 dpi (appx 500-800 kb)and it turns it to mush at any size. Once again, this does not occur with any other images under the same circumstances when using other apps The first screen shot is to illustrate the 800 kb 10x10 72dpi image and dropping it into the 10x10" 72 dpi AF Photo file enlarged on my screen. The smaller screen image is at 100% - as you can see (especially looking at the "8") the jpg is still really pixy - and this does not happen in other apps I use. The original files are included as well - they are both the same size but when I export to jpg - really degrades quite noticeably. Thanks Delta8Gummies.afphoto
  9. When I resize an image in Affinity, it becomes less crisp. Ive tested on several photos, same resizing, and the issue still happens. I've even made a higher resolution in Affinity and it still is less crisp than resizing in Preview on MacBook or Photoshop. The pendant image: Affinity on left - less crisp. Azurite image: Affinity on right. Both images resized from same original images. All resizing the same - reducing from 3120 x 3120 at 72ppi to 720 x 720 at 72ppi.
