So, what was it like before improvement? John

Select All Copy (to Clipboard) New from Clipboard This creates s duplicate (unnamed) document. John

Topaz Impression will do what you want, but is expensive ($99). It runs under the Topaz Studio plugin. John

This is just me displaying my ignorance of Mac operating systems. John

The curse of the auto spelling corrector? John

When Affinity develops a raw file, it utilizes the entire image. Many other raw processors will crop the outer pixels (which often have artefacts) away. Whst you are seeing could be just one of these artefacts. Crop it as you will. John

@nedex The question is a bit ambiguous. Are you asking about plugins that work with Affinity Photo or about plugins that work with Apple Photos? There are lots of plugins for Photo. Many (but by no means all) that work in Photoshop will work in Photo. Examples include the Nik Collection and most Topaz plugins. Note that some users seem to be having difficulties with the Nik set, but they work for me. John

On my Windows box, the pixel count remains the same, but it doesn't on yours. I suggest that you submit it as a bug report. John

Have you checked your Layers panel to see if there is an extraneous green rectangle? John

Affinity will not change the number of pixels if you have Resample unticked. In this case the dimensions are greyed out, indicating that they cannot be changed. It will upsize or downsize if Resample is ticked. John

You are right. I applied a change from 150 to 300ppi on a document and the pixel sizes remained the same, as expected. I then repeated the process (150 to 300) setting the units to centimetres, and the size in centimetres remained the same. There has been problems in the past with this, but I thought that it had been fixed. I was using the new 1.7 version. John

I posted this question in the Photo for Windows Forum and got this reply from @Patrick Connor: It should work, taking a copy if the 1.6.5 installation folder before you update, leaves the copied 1.6.5 EXE working,. It will not be able to load the 1.7 .AFPhoto files, and may get confused over new buttons on the toolbars etc. I copied the Photo folder and renamed it Photo 1.6, then installed Photo 1.7. So far I have had no problems in running the two versions. This was only this afternoon, so there me problems surfacing at some stage, but none so far. All my plugins that worked for 1.6 are there in 1.7 and thse that I have tried work. Note this is on Windows. It may not work on a Mac. John

I would guess that you have your default units as cm. Try this on a 10 by 6cm document at 150dpi: Select Document > Resize. Change the units to pixels. Change the resolution to 300dpi Do not tick Resample. Click OK. Your document should still retain the original size in pixels, but this should map to 5 by 3cm at 300dpi. John

I did this following the advice of @Patrick Connor. The intention was to have a version for those plugins that do not work in 1.7. I have only had an hour or so to play, but everything that worked in 1.6 still works in 1.7. If the preferenced maintain the same propcol fioes that can only be good. John

What are you getting a refund for? The new 1.7 is a free upgrade from 1.6. Before I installed 1.7 I made a copy of the 1.6 folder, calling it Photo 1.6. I can still run the old program from there. I recently upgraded to the new Nik Collection 2 and it works fine with both 1.6 and 1.7. John
