Jessethebuddy Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Hi all, I am looking for an opinion/clarification about the program. I want to create art but i want it to be able to be resized easily without loss of details, go from original file, shrink it and blow it up to a bigger size. I know that with Vector only this is not an issue but regarding affinity designer, how does resizing work when you have part of your image being a vector and part of it being from the pixel persona. I am trying to wrap my head around it and i am missing something i guess. So my question is: if a create an image on a 8 by 11 canvas and use both vector and pixel persona and then later i decide that i want to blow this up to 4 times bigger, what will ultimately happen? Will i get noticeable pixelation because of the raster details or does Designer vectorizes everything and it does not become an issue. or should you start big already and when you shrink, it does not become an issue? I would need to know different scenarios on this so i start using the program on the right foot. I have looked at a great many video but i have yet to find a video that addresses this regarding Designer. Any help is appreciated. thanks AGain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray S. Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Hi @Jessethebuddy, welcome to the forum. You're right you can't enlarge pixel-data without getting a blurry result. Designer is not vectorizing any pixel/raster-data. Shrinking is not a problem with pixel-data. Get yourself the free trail and try it.

Jessethebuddy Posted December 12, 2020 Author Share Posted December 12, 2020 I have the program and that is what i thought. Basically you have to create big in the first place and then shrinking is not an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I approach this in this way: 1. If I am not sure what size my end product will be, and I know beforehand that I will need to use Raster content, then I make my raster content double its size before importing/placing into my vector IF it is rather small or has some silly 180 ppi resolution at an A5 size roughly and my vector will be double this, AND I make sure that my initial document creation in Designer has a minimum of 300ppi, but I like to stick it on 400ppi if I am really not sure.. this is my approach though.
