saliniero Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 When it comes to exporting the photos, I see that I lose a lot of quality when I review them in JPG (I export them at maximum quality). People who upload photos to 500px for example, have a much higher quality (It is the same camera). Where can the failure be? Quote

Jholt Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 I am having the same issues. Photo looks great in Affinity but when it is exported, it is very disappointing...and yes, exporting to jpg at the highest quality. Quote

Serif re-used the poor JPG algorithms used in their legacy programs (The Plus range). I know. I checked. Output is inferior and not optimized for size either. Neither is it an option. But I can assure you than when it is finally improved you will see release notes and marketing with headlines like "MASSIVELY IMPROVED JPG OUTPUT" 🤨 Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface." Computer-, operating system- and software agnostic; I am a result oriented professional. Look for a fanboy somewhere else. “When a wise man points at the moon the imbecile examines the finger.” ― Confucius Not an Affinity user og forum user anymore. The software continued to disappoint and not deliver.
ashf Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 hmm, so it's true that it's better to export PNG and convert it to JPG with other software? Quote

If you just want better file size optimization than Affinity currently supports, you can export to JPEG from Affinity & use another app for that. I use ImageOptim for that. It is a free app with a number of very useful features including batch processing & a choice of optimization algorithms but it is Mac-only. The "Other Versions" link includes a few suggestions for Windows users.

So I thought even export at maximum quality gets spoiled. Quote

FWIW, I just posted a reply in the other topic by @saliniero that may help explain why this happens & what can be done about it. ashf 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.5.7 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 All 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7
