Guest Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Image size is not shown correctly in Affinity Photo after recent Update : Zoom 100% does not correspond the real size of the image but 200%. So 100% equals 200%, seems to be a bug or did I miss some settings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 You may be seeing a mismatch between the two applications' DPI settings. 144 versus 72.

For real size I would use the Actual size command. https://affinity.help/photo/English.lproj/pages/GetStarted/zoom.html Quote Affinity Store (MSI/EXE): Affinity Suite (ADe, APh, APu) 2.4.0.2301 Dell OptiPlex 7060, i5-8500 3.00 GHz, 16 GB, Intel UHD Graphics 630, Dell P2417H 1920 x 1080, Windows 11 Pro, Version 23H2, Build 22631.3155.

Guest Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Actual Size does not correspond to the real size of the image as well: actual size shows 137,5%. It's a real mess right now. Before this update I used to downsize images and then double-click the magnifying glass and that was just fine and fitting. Now one time images show correct size, the other time not. Well, I know how things worked before this update... PS: There's the next bug coming along but this will be a separate thread. What went wrong with this update?

IsabelAracama Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Hi I somehow am facing an issue with this, which got me really confused. I am not sure what or why and I cannot recall experiencing it before. I believe it is related to this problem you talk in here. So I have a 300dpi file that shows or displays different zoom views at the same zoom value between AD and AP and I am confused why this is so. If anyone can shed some light on this please? Attached the video showing what I mean. I for sure am missing something but can't see what.

If anyone can shed some light on this please? Sorry, I am not sure why you're getting different results between Designer and Photo. I've never noticed that. I can tell you, though, that a zoom level of 100% and one of Actual Size are not the same, as you were saying they are. 100% says that 1 pixel of the document takes up 1 pixel on the screen. But if you Zoom to Actual Size, then if you hold a physical ruler up to your screen, the document dimensions should match what you see on the ruler. E.g., for an 8.5x11 inch document, the displayed document on the screen should be physically 8.5 inches wide.

NotMyFault Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Same bug on iPad. A document of DIN A4 size is viewed at different zoom size despite zoom level 100% is selected in Photo and Designer. But: If you switch view mode to „Pixel“ in designer, both show the same zoom. Why does Designer behave differently depending on view mode?

NotMyFault Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 The help file explains this effect - but I don’t understand the retina thing. It’s a totally illogic Apple specific way to distort the reality field. unnecessary complication. https://affinity.help/designer/en-US.lproj/index.html?page=pages/GetStarted/zoom.html?title=Zooming Shortcuts: Zoom In using +. Zoom Out using -. Zoom to Fit using 0 or double-click the View Tool icon. Zoom to 100% using 1 or double-click the Zoom Tool icon, where document pixels map directly to screen pixels. Zoom to Selection using 0 (or double-click Layers panel thumbnail). Actual Size using 8. Pixel Size using 9. When creating a new document, the Document Units define the exact size of your document on screen. For example, if you chose 'pixels', your document will display at its exact pixel size when exported and viewed on screen at 100%. For physical Document Units (e.g., millimeters) you'll get the exact print size at 50% zoom (due to Retina screen). The print size is determined by the dpi set in Document Setup. walt.farrell and IsabelAracama 1 1 Quote Mac mini M1 A2348 | Windows 10 - AMD Ryzen 9 5900x - 32 GB RAM - Nvidia GTX 1080 LG34WK950U-W, calibrated to DCI-P3 with LG Calibration Studio / Spider 5 iPad Air Gen 5 (2022) A2589 Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

IsabelAracama Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Thanks both of you for the information. That makes things clearer. Quote isabelaracama.com Youtube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveLawrence Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 OK, I just had this problem. If you have two or more screens, you accidentally open it on the wrong screen, actual size won't work. So you have to start the program on the screen that you'll be using. In order to fix this, I had to Restart computer. Open Affinity on the correct screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
