Export persona doesn't export at the final size (after enlarging an image)

[Wosven]

It already happened few monthes ago (december).

I needed to resize (enlarge) an image. I did it a small amount each time, and used a sharpen live filter.
When using the export persona, it didn't exported at the final size, but I suppose one of the first enlarged size.

I closed and restarted AP, and again, it's not able to export at the final size in the Export persona, only if I use the general Export command.

 

I always keep the metadata with the files, since I need to automatically insert copyrights from them, but it don't seems to make a difference.

Clients sending Facebook icons instead of real portraits is  enough of a pain without adding such bugs!

Hey Wosven,

I may have missed something here but I cannot reproduce this. Can you give me the exact steps you're taking?

If your document's DPI is 144 the Export Persona will export it at half it's displayed size, whereas File > Export will export it as expected.

It's a quirk built into the export persona which is "as designed"

There are numerous threads about it if you want to understand why it does it this way

Hi,

My steps : usually checking files send by clients, grumbling when they send facebook-portrait… trying to insist to get better pic… If Epic fail:

• Right-click > open in Photo
• Convert colour profile
• Ctrl+i > select higher resolution + resample checked
• If possible, try some filters to add sharpness and correct colours
• Export with "2" or "v2" suffixe.

• Update in ID while looking at final PPP.
• Usually, it's ok, or it's worste and I need to enlarge more… if I miscalculated

It's the sort of process you do sometimes ten in a row with some clients… you don't think about it.

It happened few times when the exported image kept the same resolution. At first when it was a bug while checking "keep metadata" lon ago, and at least twice while working at home (where I keep a browser tab on the forum), at work, it happened but it was not time to report and I usually do it with FastStoneViewer in a click.
