DreamThinkLive Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hi, Is there a reason why my Raw images open as 96 DPI instead of 300 DPI say like in PS? Why is it reducing the res on import? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Andy Somerfield Posted July 9, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hi, If Affinity Photo cannot find DPI metadata in the RAW file, it will assume 96dpi - this doesn't actually lose any resolution, as it's just metadata. After developing you can change the DPI using Document -> Resize. Hope this helps! Andy. DreamThinkLive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't change the dpi, would their be any reason to change it to 300 like you suggested? Just curious.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimGoshorn Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 It all depends on the output device and the size print you want to make. 300 DPI has been a traditional value for the print industry for years. If you are doing inkjet printing your values can be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machadodesign Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I'm not sure why Serif is so set on using DPI in an image app. It makes little sense since DPI is a measurement used in the output device such as a plate making system for offset printing. Imaging apps use PPI or pixels per inch and Serif is unnecessarily complicating things. Worse still is the fact that the resize without resampling doesn't work correctly and the file will still import into InDesign as 72ppi. There needs to be some serious thought put into this before the next rev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Worse still is the fact that the resize without resampling doesn't work correctly and the file will still import into InDesign as 72ppi. Try unchecking the "embedded metadata" export option.

AT.HA Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 My RAW images are by default at 72 dpi, after Develop. I´ve to resize one by one. Is there a way to change this by default to 300 dpi for all images? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 21, 2017 Staff Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi AtelierCunha, Currently there's no way to change it to 300 dpi by default but you can create a macro to automate this. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AT.HA Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi MEB, thank you. You mean a macro to batch the conversion, after the develop process? I used to define a default resolution with ACR, for my RAW files. Maybe this is a feature for the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 21, 2017 Staff Share Posted February 21, 2017 Both cases, i mean, the macro can be used in Photo Persona directly from the Library panel for documents you already have open or be invoked in a Batch Job.

AT.HA Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Ok. Thanks. But not as a default for all RAW files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
