    Thank you. But this info is not what I need. When I return to the image after a time when its size has been modified differently, and now I need to have it back to its original size. How can I do this if I do not know its original dimension? See, what I mean in InDesign, pls.
    btw: Affinity Publiseher is great software, to which I want to move from Indesign

    Hello, where can I find on selected image info about actual original size? For example: I placed a picture, somehow diminished its size. And now I need to know what size it has to the original size (like 88.3%).

    Hello,
    I’ve been using DP software for more than 20 years and I can state that for any important publishing project the % of the imported images are extremely important, I would say they are mandatory. You cannot ask users to calculate the % from the image sizes in pixel, it is an enormous waste of time when, for instance, the layout includes hundreds of pictures.
    However, I’ve just starting testing the software and I think you have done a great job, though the way it handles pictures is probably the field where you need to implement the most.

    Peterko reacted to ol4f in the whole picture placing thing...   
    Hi!
    Some of the following points are already said but the more things I try with Publisher the more I get dissatisfyed with the whole picture placing thing. 
    The first time I opened InDesign I had no idea how to do anything but after a while you realize that you need a frame for everything. So you draw your frames and fill it with whatever you want. For the last six years I have done a lot of work with InDesign for university and got used to it and how it works. I have never seen any other DTP software and i do not want to say that Publisher should be exactly the same as InDesign but there are some things in Publisher that definietly confusing me completely
    PICTURE FRAME RESIZE
    Draw a picture frame in the size you want. Place a image into the picture frame. Select the image in the layers panel to manualy move an resize it (ID: just press 'a' for the right tool or double click within the frame for the right tool to move and resize the image within the frame. If you now change the size of the picture frame the placed image does automaticaly rescale, depending on the choice under 'Properties' Confusion Back to step 3  
    PLACED IMAGE INTO FRAME
    I tried placed an image via drag n drop but needed it within an image frame. How to do? Maybe just draw a picture frame and nest the image within the picture frame in the layers panel. The image is somehow within the picture frame now but somehow differend as if you would have directly placed it whitin the picture frame. So how can I bring a placed image into a picture frame?
     
    ORIGINAL SIZE
    It is already discussed in another topic but very important when you place scaled architecture drawings for example, too.
     
     
    CROP TOOL FOR PLACED IMAGES
    I realized that you can also use the crop tool for placed images and picture and somehow I got something that at least looks like what I opticaly want but with a strange behavoiur. Select differend things in the layers panel, check/uncheck 'lock children', ...
     
    All I am begging for is the possibility to draw a frame that fits into the layout (margin, grid, guides, ...) and place an image within the frame that I can move and scale the so that the right area is visible. But the easy way without a search for the right parent or child object or some automaticaly resizing that i don not want becaus a already have done this manually.
    Please tell me if I just got a strange workflow in InDesign or when there is a simple and logical workflow in Publisher that I have overlooked.
    Thanks!
    PS: I often missed something like the artistic text tool in InDesign. So thanks for this!

    Yes, like in AD. I was mistaken that the Resource Manager also displayed the scaled percentage...but that was in something else.
    And both have the same issue when trying to get a resized image back to its original size using the transform panel if going by a pixel dimension resize.
    If I have an image that is 800x535 px that has 180dpi written into it when placed at 100% size, resize it and try using the transform panel to resize it back to that dimension using the pixel dimensions that is displayed, it is much smaller.
    Having the percentage an image is scaled available and being able to modify the current size based upon that percentage is a definitely a should have feature.

    Click the image and change to the Move Tool. Look at the top left of the interface after the layer's name in the context toolbar. You can also get this and more info going to menu Document▸ Resource Manager and selecting the image from the list. The Transform panel also indicate the (current) image dimensions on canvas when it's selected.

    Currently one can only find the original size in the resource manager. However, that is next to useless versus seeing the percentage of size adjustment.
