Elsa G. Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I created on Affinity Photo an 4" x 4" image that contains wording as well and it looks great. Once I decide to create a new document sized at 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" and I place this same image on a smaller canvas size, the image and wording gets pixelated and I cannot use it for the intended purpose. I have been having this problem for several months now. I used to have Adobe Creative Suite 6 and never had a problem resizing an image to 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" or to 1" x 1" overall. What is the proper solution for to this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Welcome to the forums @Elsa G. Photo will always show your document at the DPI set in the Document Setup (as best it can given your screen resolution). This means that if you have a 4×4 inch image and you place it (scaled) in a document which is 1.5×1.5 inches – at the same resolution as the original – it will look pixelated. See my attached video where the first document is the original 4×4 inch at 72DPI and the second is 1.5×1.5 inches at 72DPI and contains a PNG export of the original. This is normal. Is this what you mean, or have I misunderstood? 2020-10-30 08-46-04.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
