AS: Picture slices

[GeirSol]

[Studio]

Hi! I have an image (real image) that I want to export as a slice and in set size (for web-design).
How do I best do this?
I've opened my image in Designer, and set slice, but I'm having trouble scaling to the export height/width I want.

Hi @GeirSol,

You can specify the exported dimensions of your slice by entering in your own values within the slice panel. For example, entering 1000w, 1000h and exporting the slice will result in the exported image being 1000x1000. See DanC's video in the thread below for an example of this.

Thank you! Will this typical alter w:h ratio?

Yes, this will affect the final exported slice's W/H and also resample the image based on the currently selected Export preset 🙂

As NathanC has indicated specifying both the W/H values will alter the aspect ratio of the slice (unless you have done the proper calculations)

If you want to preserve the original slice aspect ratio you can just set the required W or H value and the system will automatically calculate the other value on export, thus, preserving the original aspect ratio of the slice you made

Thank you! That would typically be perfect.
Anyway, setting the right slice-ratio from start would typically be a good thing.

By the way, there is no Affinity application called the Studio. There are 3 separate applications (Photo, Designer, and Publisher). And if you own all three, there is a function within Publisher called StudioLink, which gives you access to functions from the Photo Persona of Photo, and the Designer Persona of Designer within the Publisher application.

But when discussing the applications, we can refer to Photo, Designer, or Publisher and (as needed) a Persona name. Or we can use abbreviations AP or APh (Photo), AD (Designer), or APub / APu (Publisher). There's no "AS".

Thanks! But I don't think that's totally true. Seems like the core and frame is the same.
And, in my case, it's just to say that any answer in any of the 3 applications is valid

OK, but calling it AS or Studio will be confusing.
