A.Photo : I thought I needed glasses? Size of image HUGE


Recommended Posts

I did this in a couple of different ways because I could not believe it:  But the most logical was this:  I needed to reduce an 11Mb DNG image from 16 bit to 8 bit and reduce its size to be used in A:Design as a base image for tracing.  Into A.Photo - converted to B/W - used resample to reduce image size and stick into 96 PPi (don't need highrer) - convert from 16 to 8 bit and Bobs your Uncle! 1.6 mb

Image size is 1.6Mb EXCEPT according to Affinity:  See screen shot please, may I ask what is happening? I do not want 75 mb in my Design file.

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.

The .afphoto fie contains lots of information apart fom your image. Use File > Export to eport your image to .png or .jpg.

Ok Thanks, another case of needing to be de-programmed from Photoshop, I wrongly assumed 'save as' and 'export' did the same job as far as interpreting what you had actually done to an image in that the save as option would throw away the extrenuous stuff you had already ..well...thown away.  So no more 'save as'ses' when wanting to reduce file sizes.

Hi Lagarto, no the image after being "saved as" after all reductions came out at 1.6 mb, this was its size.  The image listed by affinity when I went to check the document turned a 1.6 mb image into a 75 mb image. considering this started out as an 11mb DNG file, I was, to say the least, a little....no actually ....a Lot surprised.

In German localization 75,323 KB would be too 75,3 KB and thus not MB, since 75.323,0 would here then be instead MBs.

Yes, things that appear to be universal and self-evident, are not (these are from Windows 10 Regional Settings):

UK/US English: 123,456,789.00 (groups: comma,  decimal: dot)
German: 123.456.789,00 (groups: dot,  decimal: comma)
Finnish: 123 456 789,00 (groups: space,  decimal: comma)

...and there are probably many other variations.

Well that's the way of cookie crumbles, one has to know how other localizations deal with those number formats!
