Hello! I just got Affinity Photo and I'm still learning my way around the program. Something pretty simple is driving me nuts.

If I:

1. Open a photo with dimensions 1421 × 2014 (other dimensions too, but this is one example that has the problem)

2. Crop the photo to a 2:3 aspect ratio

3. Export the photo as a jpeg with a resolution of 1000 x  1500 set in the export panel

The resulting image has a resolution of 1000 x 1499. Off by one!

I've read in other topics on this forum that this usually has to do with pixel rounding, but I don't understand what I'm supposed to do about it. The problem happens regardless of whether "Force Pixel Alignment" and/or "Move by whole pixels" is checked or unchecked in Snapping Manager, and regardless fo whether the aspect ratio is locked in the export panel.

How can I make Affinity Photo export at the exact resolution I specify, tweaking the aspect ratio ever so slightly if need be? Thank you!

@Wowfunhappy:  What pixel dimensions did you crop to?
