I saved my files by copying them in Affinity Photo V1 and saving from there. I've tried your suggestions, but none of them work. I'm working on a big project right now, and this happened again today. Very frustrating. I didn't use photos this time but exported everything first to Finder. So that doesn't seem to be the issue. It's as if that 2nd Save window is hiding somewhere, but it's nowhere. I pressed enter in the hope it would save. Reveal in Finder is greyed out sadly so that also wasn't an option. Really hope this (glitch?) can get fixed. Thanks for your help so far, I appreciate it.

Montery iMac No, there isn't an option to change the name yet Anywhere, I don't see the option yet 20 Photos come from Photos, they are JPEGs I haven't used multiple monitors Yeah.. opening files from Photos was a disaster in V1 and sadly it remains that way. I first export them from photos, then add to focus merge and that works fine. Until suddenly it doesn't

I just finished two stacks (2x around 20 photos) and got ready to save them. Now the save window opens, but when I click SAVE nothing happens and my work is still named Untitled. When I try to export, same thing. When I open a 'New Focus Merge' and I click 'add' nothing happens. This happened to me twice before with the V2, and it's really super frustrating. I didn't close it yet, because I hope someone here has the magic key. I have a deadline like NOW, and I don't have time to re-edit both stacks again. Anyone? Thanks

Hey all, thought to give you an update of how the expo finally turned out and what I ended up using. People with a similar question might find it useful. And I also wanted to thank the community here for their swift answers! The prints look really great! I went with 7500x7500 to be on the safe side, and dpi of at least 150. Used Affinity > Resize document. The photos are printed on dibond full colour.

@Lagarto The distance might even be bigger... but I think 1,5m is a safe assumption. Yes, the process takes a while but if its all the same for all the 20 photos, I can just leave it running one night, that would be OK. If the result is better than in Affinity, that is. But I'm doubting... And I went with 6000x6000 but ppi 150 would be more like 7500x7500 according to the calculators @v_kyrand @MikeW send.

I tried both methods and found that Gigapixel gave me a more satisfying result than APhoto to be honest. But you do have a fair point that it can 'guess' too much... Here is the Gigapixel one: And the AF one: Most of the cropped images are >3000pixels, but not all of them. Gigapixel is quite a hassle, so if I can avoid it by just enlarging through Aphoto, that would be great. What would you suggest?

That's a handy tool, thanks

Thanks so much, Mike. This is incredibly helpful! I'm just gonna go with 6000x6000 pixels to be on the safe side. Is there any tool in Affinity that can upscale in a 'smart' way? Or is Gigapixel the way to go...

The expo will be outside.. and it will be viewed from like a meter at least. So what would you say is a good basic PPI to go for?
-
I have got plenty of time, fortunately. Expo will be in July. I already made most of the photos I will use, but I plan to look for specific species this month and in May. I can always call and ask... For me at least it would be nice to just have a checklist, or some standard size/ppi that would be... 'acceptable' for this size prints. Thank you for your answers!

@Wosven Yes I want it to be a colourful experience for the visitors. And their opinion of 'good' might not be the same as mine. We are our own worst critics, right? In making your 200PPI images, did you use any tools to upscale though?
-
@GarryP Thank you, I will be looking into that simple resizing. Might be OK for some of them. @Wosven I asked before and they were OK with any type of file. Everything was 'no problem'. But a minimum PPP (is that the same as PPI?) will be nice for me to know, so at least I have some kind of framework. I'm just worried that it will seem... 'blocky' if that makes sense. I've never done prints this size before. I will ask them specifically about the material as well.

I hope my question is more clear now!

Dear all, I have an outdoor exposition coming up, for which 20 of my photos (bug portraits) will be printed on 1,3m x 1,3m boards (51x51 inch). Is there any option in Affinity Photo to upscale, to add pixels (as in: a higher ppi)? The photos are originally 6240 x 4160, but since the prints will be square, they will be cropped. Do I need something like Topaz Gigapixel, or is there a tool in Affinity Photo that can do something similar? Cheers!
