thanks. i tried that. i was exporting the image, not saving as. it output the files at the original resolution & physical size. it was quick, & simple.

many thanks. i'll email you directly tomorrow. can you please delete this post? (fyi, all the stacks i've done in the past were output at 300dpi - i know this as i edit them in photoshop. many thanks for your reply :-)

no offence, but i really wasn't looking for a discussion, just some answers as to why they've changed a great feature into a bad one, for my purposes. i don't want to have to start mucking about with resizing etc. it already takes long enough to process the images. but for your curiosity, i start with a 300dpi image at roughly 39 X 28cm's, and it now resamples it to 96dpi which gives me an image at 125cm's wide. it looks rubbish. take my word for it. thanks for taking the time out though. i'll have to find a way to contact them directly.

i'm enjoying being told stuff i already know - i just want Affinity support to answer my questions.

i end up with an image 125cm's X 90cm.. the quality is just not there as it was, and having to resize it just resizes a lesser quality final image, otherwise i would not have asked the question. i just want it to keep the resolution exactly as it was - input a 300dpi Tiff or jpeg - output a 300dpi Tiff or jpeg, not resize it. i wasted 3 hours yesterday processing images that i cannot use. otherwise, how do i roll back to the previous version? asking Affinity Support for both solutions

hi - i use the focus merge function quite a lot, as i do a lot of macro focus stacks - in the new update it now auto saves the files at a paltry 96dpi - how can i get it to export the files in the original 300dpi resolution, without having to scale it up in the "image resize" option, which i really do not want to have to do. please either give me a solution, or revert to the original default of using the original file size as the output resolution. thanks.
