Affinity Publisher - A suggestion for enlarging a photo in a frame

[radek108]

Hello all,

I attach a screenshot so that you know better what I mean. When you move the magnification slider, the percentage of magnification appears. At this point, it would be great to know what the output image size and resolution will be in dpi. You should be able to define this size in your preferences - inches, millimeters, etc. The same values should be displayed on this bar as soon as you click on each image. Or these values could appear under the layer name. Good luck.

If you release the slider you'll see the DPI in the Context Toolbar. That helps, somewhat.

Thank you for your answer. I know it, but I mean something that works ... immediately, when you move the slider or change the size - just like the percentages are now shown. Now I move the slider and only AFTER moving it reads the value. It's a bit of trial and error.

Yes, it is. However, if you have a specific DPI in mind, why not just use the Context Toolbar to set it, rather than the slider?

Also, I just realized I'm not sure why you want the output image size to be shown. The output image size is not being changed by the slider, as the size remains the same: it's the size of the Picture Frame.
