jstudley Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Not only export but merge visible will lose any sharpening as well. The top pic is a screen shot within AP, the bottom is a jpg export from AP. Export was Bilinear at 100% quality - no size reduction. Running Windows 10 Home. Any insight would be appreciated!

walt.farrell Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 You need to make sure that you evaluate any functions like sharpening with your zoom level set to 100% or higher. If you sharpen while viewing with a zoom level less than 100% you won't see the actual results. jstudley 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is still a noticeable difference between the two when viewing normally. Or is that just the difference between before and after export as I can see the jpg is duller looking. I imagine brightening the highlights and extra saturation could correct the look after the fact. Thanks for the input. In the future I will check sharpening at 100%.

walt.farrell Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 You're welcome. As for "dullness", I would need a lot more information to make any guesses, including having the actual .afphoto file just before export, the exported file, the export settings you used, and info about what program you're using to view the exported JPG.

Good morning, Walt. I would appreciate your input if you have the time. Here is the AP file. As far as viewing, I am going on Windows file viewer but also different tabs in AP. And honestly, I have know idea what the differences are in export Resamples: I just use Bilinear as a default. 1774689438_2022_09.22backlitcactus_MG_4037.afphoto Quote Windows 10 Home Version 22H2 / Build 19045.2604 Desktop Computer Affinity Photo (beta) 2.1.0.1709 Very Kindly, Jeff Studley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardMH Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Are your colour spaces the same in AP and the exported jpeg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
