kyptanuy Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 To export with a specific print size/dpi, we have to set the image size/resolution before exporting and then accept the specified number of pixels in the export dialogue. I think it was easier to choose the image resolution at the time of export as in version 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Which application are you using, and what format are you exporting to? What options have you chosen in the Export dialog? As far as I know, nothing significant has changed in the capabilities in this area, so what worked in V1 should still work in V2.

Here's a screenshot of the export options from V1 of Photo, exporting to JPEG: And here are the export options exporting from V2: All of the same options are present in V2, that were present in V1. So this is not a difference between the two versions.

I want to export from a developed dng file to a jpeg file at 300 dpi, but I can't choose the dpi. Calidad = the quality of the jpeg file you're exporting, expressed as a percentage value, ie. 0% - 100%. It doesn't mean DPI At 100% quality, no quantization occurs, which is usually responsible for most of the lossiness of a jpeg file, so the file is bigger and better quality. The second option your arrows point to is the option to include the bleed. From the Affinity Photo documentation When selected, the bleed area of your document, if set, will be included in the output. (Primarily used when working on Affinity Publisher or Affinity Designer documents in Affinity Photo.) There is no dpi setting in the export options.

Old Bruce Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I am not sure there is a DPI/PPI for JPEGs, just Pixels. I could be wrong, I am frequently wrong. You'll have to do some arithmetic 7 inch wide print at 300 DPI is 7 x 300 = the number of pixels for the width setting.

You'll have to do some arithmetic 7 inch wide print at 300 DPI is 7 x 300 = the number of pixels for the width setting. There are DPI (or perhaps PPI) setttings in the metadata (if it is included in the export) which will help determine the size that the file will display in a browser or print on a printer. But I think it's used only for that. The primary concern is how many pixels there are in each dimension.

kyptanuy Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 Sorry, @walt.farrellI could have sworn there was an option to choose the DPI, but I was wrong. I was probably messing with other software that does offer that option. I apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. In any case, it would be nice to be able to have the option to choose dpi/poi when exporting. Thank you very much for your attention and help.. Thank you too @rvst @Old Bruce walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardMH Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 What I do is Copy Flattened, then New from Clipboard, resize that image then export that. A bit clunky but it works. rvst and walt.farrell 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MÅNEMANN Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 It would be really helpful to have the option to choose a specific DPI/PPI, in both desktop and iPad versions. At the team I'm working at I need to export to SVG and send it to a coworker, only so he can then open it in Photoshop and export it to PNG in the right DPI. It's a tedious process. In so many ways, the Affinity applications are fully competitive with Adobe, but this little detail makes a PS license necessary. kyptanuy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catshill Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 If you export to pdf you can set DPI from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickbatz Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Can't you just resize the document with the resolution you want (complete with resampling algorithm choices), export the file, and then undo the resizing? I personally just set the resolution to 300 DPI first thing and never look at it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MÅNEMANN Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 @CatshillI'm not sure what you mean, you're thinking print? I need to deliver png's to the programmer that have a specific resolution specified by DPI. @nickbatz That might be a workaround! I thought of doing something like that. Thanks for the trick. Still wish it could be set in the export though. nickbatz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
