Pyanepsion Posted November 15, 2021 Posted November 15, 2021 Hello to all, Affinity Designer is all about creating vector images. This is obvious. However, if I put a vector AFDESIGN image into Affinity Publisher (unless I saw a setting I had to make it vector), the resolution changes depending on the size of the image. This is, of course, very abnormal. In the Affinity Designer file, I created a 1 inch square image with a resolution of 400 dots per inch. Even at the 1 inch size in Affinity Publisher, the resolution is no longer 400 dpi! green-square.afdesign green-square.afpub Quote 6 cœurs, 12 processus - Windows 11 pro - 4K - DirectX 12 - Suite universelle Affinity (Affinity Publisher, Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo). ███ Mais je vous le demande, peut-on imaginer une police sans sérifs ?

walt.farrell Posted November 15, 2021 Posted November 15, 2021 Part of what is happening is that the file that is placed at 100% resolution shows as being 400 DPI in the x direction, but only 399 DPI in the y direction. And the Resource Manager (as discussed some time ago) seems to use the y-direction DPI when the two DPIs don't match: However, I have no idea why the y DPIs are wrong.

Pyanepsion Posted November 15, 2021 Author Posted November 15, 2021 Good point. I had noticed this oddity of the y-resolution, but didn't look into it further. The fact remains that 4 of the 5 images use a totally incorrect resolution since, being vectors, they should be at the resolution of the Publisher document.

I'm not sure about that. As Placed documents, they would not have the resolution of the outer document unless they are rasterized, either directly or during Export. Until then, their resolution is determined by their original DPI and how you have scaled them while Placing them.

Pyanepsion Posted November 15, 2021 Author Posted November 15, 2021 Affinity Publisher is sold as handling all the possibilities of raster and vector images. Quote Whatever your requirements, you can count on Affinity Publisher to handle all standard file types, allowing you to create the most ambitious, content-rich designs, exploiting raster or *vector* content from multiple sources. A vector image by definition is not dependent on dimensions or resolutions: it can be displayed at any size or resolution without losing its definition (sharpness, proportions). Everything happens here as if we were importing an image into a raster environment, and in fact this would mean that the vector was considered as raster. Adobe says: Quote In Indesign, the Import command is the primary method of inserting graphics into InDesign, as it offers the best support for resolution, file formats, multi-page INDD and PDF files, and colour.

In the sense that it has a DPI, yes, it is considered as raster.

Pyanepsion Posted November 16, 2021 Author Posted November 16, 2021 The malfunction comes from Affinity Publisher and not from Affinity Designer. I took the original AFDESIGN file and changed the green to blue to make it clearer, then exported the images in the different final formats of the AFPUB document: 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1600 px. Except for the error reported by @walt.farrell (399 instead of 400 in y), the resolutions are now correct and the file will not be rejected for this reason by printers. The correction of the bug in the integration of AFDESIGN files in Affinity Publisher is of course important.
