Please can someone help!!

Everytime I select the bit I need from my image, I then copy merge and then paste onto a new page the image is massively pixelated when shrunk...

I have recently changed to a newer I mac, I never had this problem with my old one which is really frustrating!

Can anyone point me in the right direction please, I'd really appreciate it :)

Hi and welcome to the forums @Courtney1989,

I am assuming you are using Photo (as it is the only one of the Affinity applications with a Copy Merged menu item). Now I need to know what you mean by "a new page", is it a new Photo document or are you using Publisher (which has pages)?

This pixelated problem could be due to a mis match of document's dpi settings.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 
Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

That sounds as though it’s the wrong way around! I would expect an image to be less pixelated when shrunk, since you’re cramming the same number of pixels into a smaller area (which can only be achieved by making the pixels smaller).
