Affinity Designer 2 macOS - Selected Image DPI?

[TommoHawkk]

Hi, 

Sorry if this is a simple one, or mentioned somewhere else in the forums, but i couldn't see anything labeled. 

Ive been using Affinity Designer 1 for 5 year, when i select a raster image, on the top left it shows the current DPI of that selected image, screenshot attached. For some reason i cant see anything on the stock UI that shows this information, or any toggles in view/studio etc. 

Can anyone help?

Welcome to the forums here!
I am not sure if I have understood you correctly. Why do you want to see the information again in another place?
But you can also see the most important image data in the resource management (menu View > Manage Resources).

sorry, might not have made sense there. I cant find this information in Affinity Designer 2 anywhere, this is a screenshot from Affinity Designer 1.

It sounded like you were still using version 1. In version 2 the resource management is in the menu "Window" (at least in Windows).

@TommoHawkk, the information at the top left of your screenshot is also there in V2. Make sure you have the Move tool  selected and the image is selected.

Have you rasterised the image? Then this information is no longer available at this point. Do you have a screenshot of your layers panel?

humm, i just loaded the above screenshot inti affinity 2, and the dpi was there, and as you said, when rasterised it disappeared. This isnt the case in designer 2. surely when you rasterise a 300dpi image, it still has a dpi value to it, on designer 1, when i rasterise and resize, the dpi figure is still there and changes when i scale the rasterised image.

I can't see the layer state in your V1 screenshots because the layer name is too long. So I can't see the bracket value.

But I have now tested it in both versions. Both versions behave absolutely identically (under Windows): When an image is rasterised, the editable information disappears. However, a non-editable dpi display is still visible.

Maybe a Mac user can comment on this to see if it is a Mac problem.

It is there for me in V2, just like in V1.

Hi TommoHawkk,

I apologise for the delayed response to your post. Please could you confirm if this issue still occurs for you in 2.0.4 as I can't seem to recreate this issue here at my end.

Thanks
