Selection doesn't scale properly

[Albo]

Hello,
Document is 7000 X 5000 px.
When I select the image I want to export---> selection only
It remains at the same size as the document. It won't scale.

If I scale down manually and export it becomes even bigger.
14498 X 10057px and this is with selection only.

I am missing a clue!

Which application are you using?
What sort of selection do you have? (Layers selected or pixel selection?)
What do you mean by “it remains at the same size”? What is “it”?
What do you mean by “scale down manually”?

Can you give us some full-screen screenshots which let us see your document, what you have selected, your export dialog, and what you get after exporting?

[Albo]

Application: Affinity Photo
Layer is selected
The size of the object I am exporting remains the same size as the document
Scaling down manually is taking a corner and dragging it to the size you want.

Look at the name of the included screenshots for a description.

Can you do some screen shotswith the transformation panel visible?

When I test this, I don't have any problems. I added layers, masks and objects, and the size is right.

 

Perhaps you have an element in the group, or a stroke that cause trouble?

[Albo]

Notice the difference between the size of the selected object and the export of the same object.

[Wosven]

Did you tried disabling or deleting elements in the group to check which one and its properties messed the result?

[Albo]

Yes, I did a quick search but I'm going to go through each layer and check that out.
Let you know what I find.

Many thanks

[Albo]

I have just checked every layer. Nothing special.
All layers fit in the design so there are no big images outside the selection.I don't really know why this is going on.

Since I have found a workaround I will just leave it.
I don't have any problems with other files.

If you can share the actual Affinity file, rather than just screenshots, one of us may be able to figure it out.

Otherwise, you could share it with Serif via a private Dropbox upload link when one of the Moderators visits this topic.

Thank you Walt,

Like I said, this is most likely a one time problem and most probably related to something in my file.
No use spending any energy on this.

If you share the file that has the problem then someone at Serif can have a look at it and see if something can be fixed so that other people don’t have the same problem in the future.

Here is a screenmovie about this.

I don't see the text in that. Could be something in the group as well. Zoom out so you can see  35 thousand by 33 thousand pixels instead of the 9 thousand pixels.

[Albo]

Will try that.
