WKansepa Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 There appears to be a serious regression in Affinity V2 when working with linked images. I prefer working with linked images as opposed to embedding them and have been doing this ever since the link images feature was introduced in Affinity V1. This feature works as expected in V1. I created a design for an outdoor billboard sign in Affinity Designer V2 and got an unexpected huge size when I saved the file. The Image Placement Policy was set to 'Prefer Linked' but I got 222mb file size. I then embedded the image and resaved and the file size was now 223mb. I recreated the same file in Affinity Designer V1 and the results are as follows: Prefer Linked Policy: 458kb Prefer Embedded Policy: 111mb Also tested Publisher and Photo and got same results. The placed file used in all the layouts is a CMYK 8bit Jpg file which is 1.22GB in size. Size of billboard is 3m High x 12m Wide. CMYK document.

Staff Lee D Posted November 30, 2022 Staff Share Posted November 30, 2022 Hi @WKansepa Sorry for the delay, we're very busy at the moment. Would you be able to send me copies of your files used in the above test so I can try on my systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
