Why my image is downscaled after developping in affinity photo?


Recommended Posts

Excuse my poor english.

I own a canon EOS RP and I use Canon DPP for developping my raw .CR3 images.

I think they are more and easier functions in affinity photo so I tried it to develop.

When I have finished with canon dpp, my images are 300 dpi, about 6240x4160

Why, when I develop in affinity photo 1 or 2 are they saved at 72 dpi, ?

How can I resolve this problem?

Thank you for you answer

The DPI number is just a meta data tag attached to an image which can be used by printers or computers to assume a printed or displayed image size.
As far as image quality goes, it is the actual pixel dimensions that count.
So long as that doesn’t change there is no difference in image quality for an image of say 4000px x 6000px, whether it is at 72dpi or 300dpi.

To change the DPI tag, in Photo’s Menubar go to; Document > Resize Document… In the window that opens, first make sure Resample is not selected then set dpi to your desired amount and then click the Resize button.
