Resolution for print-quality images in calendar collage


Recommended Posts

Hey there. I just downloaded the app (so good!) and quickly understand how to use it due to my past use of Photoshop.

My ask here is: I have always used Photoshop to create a calendar, with monthly collages, that I print at a local company. Would Affinity Photo give me the same success? (Resolution currently looks low. Read on.)

With Photoshop, I would:

  1. download images from Google Photos,
  2. create a 200 DPI canvas,
  3. open an image in (Photoshop),
  4. touch up the image, and
  5. copy-paste the image into the collage.

For Affinity Photo, can I follow the same steps?

I ask for general support but mostly because I didn't notice the default canvas is 72 DPI  and I just realized how pixelated the images are in the first three months of collages. I readjusted the canvas to 200 DPI and they seem a bit better, but I'm uncertain if this will give me the same quality as my previous process.

What would you recommend?

If you are a photoshop user then I would sensibly imagine that you know that it is the quality of the imported images that are important, and if you set the new document in A'photo to be 300ppi then all should go as you hope for.  Does this answer your question?  All that you want to do can be done.

Microsoft - Like entering your home and opening the stainless steel kitchen door, with a Popup: 'Do you really want to open this door'? Then looking for the dishwasher and finding it stored in the living room where you have to download a water supply from the app store, then you have to buy microsoft compliant soap, remove the carpet only to be told that it is glued to the floor.. Don't forget to make multiple copies of your front door key and post them to all who demand access to all the doors inside your home including the windows and outside shed.

Apple - Like entering your home and opening the oak framed Kitchen door and finding the dishwasher right in front you ready to be switched on, soap supplied, and water that comes through a water softener.  Ah the front door key is yours and it only needs to open the front door.
