When you export the resized images as a JPG image, look under the JPG export panels middle "More" button on the panel that pops up if embedd metadata is checked there (?).

Thanks - Yes 'embed metadata' is selected. 'Embed ICC profile' is selected too with 'use document profile' also selected, which I thought may mean use the metadata from the original updated to reflect the new / changed data?

I think you have misunderstood about the degradation that occurs when resampling an image. Some degradation is unavoidable, regardless of the resampling method used. Please read the entire Photoshop guide article if this is still unclear.

Thanks RCR - no misunderstanding - understand degradation but don't want to increase that by changing the setting you identified.

Thanks both for getting back to me. I am familiar with Photoshop and that automatically alters the preview image to 100% so I had not realised Affinity does not do this and I thought I was looking at the resized image as it would appear. Is there any way of making this automatically happen when resizing? If not, do I have to go to the 'View' menu or is there a quick button anywhere on the interface?

I don't want to change the setting from Bilinear or better as I do not want to add to any degradation.

Another quick questions please - is there any reason why the altered, resized image does not show the metadata? Again, is there something that needs to be 'switched on' for this to be retained? I have attached a screenshot showing what I mean - the data list to the left is the original, the middle one is from my resized version in Affinity and on the right the photo data / info from a resized version done in Photoshop Elements.

Thanks in anticipation.

I am using Affinity Photo trial before deciding whether to buy it instead of of subscribing to Photoshop CC (which infuriates me) or buying Photoshop Elements.

The first thing I have tried is to resize a photo. I did exactly s I have done in Photoshop for years but the image became unusable. Despite thinking I was fairly capable, I can not figure out what is going wrong. Can anyone help?

I have attached images showing the original image, the menu options I used (with Photoshop and therefore with Affinity too) and the resultant image. Photoshop would resize but would retain a good quality image - Affinity ruins the image.

Perhaps Affinity is not going to be good enough for me / won't do what I want. Help!

(There was a problem uploading image 1 but I can not tell why - hope you can still see the problem with Affinity from the other 3 images.)
