Hello @Sujeesh Krishnaand welcome to the forums.

If you go to Edit > Preferences, then select the User Interface, you can alter the number of decimal places displayed for various units.

Even if the displayed decimal places is zero, you can still enter however many decimal places you like in the box.

This does not work for DPI.

The AP cannot display fractions for DPI. AD can.

After you create a document, you can add fractional DPI values in AD (Edit > Document Setup).

Creating a document with fractional  DPI/PPI are very important for documents with technical illustrations.
Dear Developers! I ask you not to remove this feature from AD.

The Metadata panel in AP can display fractional DPI up to 8 decimal places (sometimes?)

Hi Carl,

Thanks, we are a mat production company. We have to add pointed dpi values to the (76.2/52.5/96.4) to the files so it's critical to us to make production files.

@Sujeesh Krishna What app do you use?

[Sujeesh Krishna]

Hi telemax,

 

We using Zimmer printer for production. The printer is supporting tiff files with above mentioned dpi. We are planning to migrate photoshop to affinity photo, so before that I have to confirm all our required details in the app.

Please post this separate question to its own thread. When you do so, please explain which solid colours you want to change.

If you want to create documents with fractional DPI (76.2/52.5/96.4), you need Affinity Designer. Affinity Photo cannot create a document with fractional DPI.

At creation time no but you can change to a fractional DPI afterwards using the resize document dialogue

Hi Telemax,

 

Thank you for the information, I will install the Affinity Designer and will check and let you know if any doubts.

 

Thanks & Regards

Hi Carl,

 

I have tried that but it is also not showing the values.

Are you looking in the Metadata panel?

Yes it worked, thanks Carl, but the "Resize Document" dialog is misleading. But now we know that DPI can be seen in the Metadata panel.

Here is a small tutorial on how to make a document with fractional DPI in Designer and Photo:

Hi Carl,

Actually I saw that screenshot, the file sizes are changing but is is not visible in the window. My designers needs to see the values at the time of designing or at the time completion. If the designer missed add the value it could be error.

Sujeesh.

2 small points regarding the APhoto video

1. If you want the document to stay at a precise pixel size when changing the DPI, untick Resample when changing the DPI otherwise the width and height of the document changes

2. If you always work with documents that are preset sizes, just change the DPI once and save them as templates (File > Export as template). You can then use File New... to select various templates with the fractional DPI already set as you want it
