Export preview scale/size - where?


Recommended Posts

On a Mac it's Cmd +. Presumably Ctrl + on Windows.

ADD: on my MacBook Pro I can also zoom in and out of the export preview using a pinch in and out on the trackpad.

Cheers,

H

What Export Preview? Oh!  😀

In addition to @h_d's trackpad shortcut, I can also use the scroll-wheel on my mouse while holding down thew option key on my Mac - presumably alt on Windows?  Or, to go straight to 100%, command-1 (ctrl-1 on Windows).

Once at 100% zoom (or whatever), if you can't stretch the Preview window large enough, you can click/hold/drag to move the viewed area within the preview window.

Not sure if I'll ever use this, but it's good to have learned another trick!

Thanks, but that does nothing (I'm on mac and tried the CMD +

Today it is showing the preview at 7%

All I have to do is click on the preview window and then use Command + 1 to get 100%. I can resize the window before or after changing the zoom. Command + 0 (zero) gives me the image filling the preview window as much as is possible.

i am on Mac OS 10.14.6 and Photo or Designer 1.9.1

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Thanks, that works nicely

All of the zoom shortcuts @v_kyr shows should work if you first click in the preview window to make sure it has the focus of the UI.

That's great, but I still don't know how to get to that window showing the shortcuts

From the top menu ...

  • Affinity Appname > Preferences and there select then "Keyboard Shortcut options"

... see the online help, that's the reason there is a help system every app has.

 

☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.6 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.6 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.6 ◆ OSX El Capitan
☛ Affinity V2 apps still not installed and thus momentary not in use under MacOS

No need to be snarky. I looked in preferences and in the online help, so I asked here. and got a useful non-snarky answer from @Old Bruce above.

In the online help as first resort, searched for export preview , export preview zoom and export preview zoom andI found nothing that mention anything pertinent.

I looked in preferences and did not see these shortcuts.

Keyboard shortcuts are (for the most part) grouped in the same way they appear in menus, so since the zoom options appear in the View > Zoom menu, if you set the second popup in keyboard prefs to "View" (as @v_kyr suggested) you should see the shortcuts assigned to the zoom options.
