Andy Pearson Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I'm still getting used to Affinity. I come from many years of using PagePlus. Here is my question. In PagePlus there was a "resample" option that was very very helpful in cleaning up image files and the perception of their resolution/quality. I cannot find anything like this in Affinity. Can someone help me with that? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan C Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Hi @Andy Pearson Unfortunately there's no direct alternative to this slider in Affinity currently, my apologies. However it's certainly possible to resample images in Affinity - can you please confirm for me, are you using Affinity Publisher, or a different Affinity app? Many thanks in advance!

Dan C Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 No problem at all, and the image you're looking to resample, has this been opened as it's own document in Affinity, or did you Place the image into a pre-existing document? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Rostron Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 The physical size (in inches), the pixel size and the pixels per inch are itimately connected: Physical Size = Pixel Size / Pixels per Inch If you change any two of these, then the third will need to be recalulated. If you change the pixel size then the image will need to recalculate how the image maps onto the various pixels. This is the Resampling. In the Resize Document dialogue box, if the Resample box is unticked, then the numbers (in the dimensions and ppi boxes) will be constrained so that the pixel size remains the same. In the ppi box, there are a choice of values in a drop-down list, but you can enter any number you like in the box.

Andy Pearson Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 I'm so sorry but how do I get to, "Resize Document dialogue box"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray S. Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Hi Andy, in Publisher you need to go to the Pixel-Persona, there you find the Resize Document Dialog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you mean the Photo Persona. Only Designer has a Pixel Persona And note, too, that Resize Document affects the entire document, not an image that is on the Publisher page.

John Rostron Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 What I was referring to was the Document > Resize Document in Photo. There does not appear to be anything equivalent in Publisher.

Fixx Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Usually it is enough to let export to PDF handle image resampling. It does not though sharpen images, so it may be worthwhile to resample and sharpen images separately anyway if size change is substantial... (I wish Publisher would optionally sharpen in export, as it would make workflow much smoother.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
