big smile Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I've placed some linked images in my Affinity Publisher document that have been scaled using "Scale to max fit". The original images are freaking large, so when I convert the document to PDF, Publisher takes a long time to do it and the images come out corrupted in the PDF. I need to scale down the source images so they aren't so big. In InDesign this was really easy to do. You could just check by what percentage they had been scaled by in InDesign, open up the images in Photoshop and then scale down by the same percentage. That way, when you went back to Indesign, you wouldn't have to worry about "Scale to max fit" changing things due to the smaller images size. Plus, you'd know that the images are at the best DPI for printing. Is there way to see by what percentage an images has been scaled in Affinity Publisher. The resource menu shows the original size and new size, but it doesn't give the percentage (and I suck at maths ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepr Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Have the Move Tool active and select the Picture Frame object or Image object. Near the left end of the context toolbar is the scaling percentage, but note that the displayed number is imprecise because it has been rounded to an integer. big smile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd that doesn't show for me, this is what I see: The image is an afphoto file, does that make a difference? GryphonArt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, unfortunately a scaling percentage is not revealed for an embedded/linked document, only for an embedded/linked image file. Scaling factors of width and height of any object could be additional fields in the Transform panel. Maybe one day.
