Display Photos in low res in Publisher, to aid performance


Recommended Posts

Hi. I am trying to create a photo book in Affinity Publisher, and it is around 80 pages long. Despite lowering the dpi of all the images from 1200 to 400, it still struggles performance wise. Is there a way to make it only display low-res images? Are there any other things I can do to aid perfomance? Currently it is almost unusable.

You could try...

Linking all current images in one folder (rather than embedding them)

Then rename the folder

When restarted Publisher will not be able to find the images so will just display a low-resolution version of them instead

When ready you can just relinked all the missing images from the previously renamed folder 

PS Make a backup of the current document first

Indesign has different options of rendering and so has APublisher. But I can't see / feel a difference when switching Retina Rendering to Low Quality (Fastest). Does anyone spotted any difference?
