EdB Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Hi there Thanks for receiving me in the group, I'm new to Affinity and photography Here's my issue, if I have one... I've uploaded a couple of pictures to Affinity both jpeg and raw and when magnified they look extremely pixelated, unlike in the normal photo viewer from Windows. 4500 by 6700 pixels should be high quality photos, Please find attached the pictures to review, thanks a lot CU2A5420.CR2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the image into Photo and imediately went to the resize box. You can see what I did and how large the image can be at 300 ppi. Tis is a good large size and there is nothing wrong. So what are you seeing if I may ask? By the way, do not rely on windows photo viewer to give any accurate representation of an image other than to present a nice photo for desktop viewing purposes only. Quote 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdB Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 Thanks a lot for taking the time to reply Chris As I said, I'm pretty new at photography and brand new to Affinity Photo. I was clearly over-magnifying the picture and not having much of an idea how good of an image was. Thanks for the tips in general Have a good one Ed 2 hours ago, Chris26 said: No It is not pixlelated till you magnify to at least 242 to 300%, which is a good image.

John Rostron Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Welcome @Ed B. You should always use 100% zoom to view your images to assess focus or pixillation.
