Resize not functioning properly for Affinity Photo v2.1 and 2.04 iPad.

[Kamkam]

With the resample off changing the DPI doesn’t show any changes in document size the size still remains same. For example a document that is 20inx30in at 72 DPI. Will remain the same size at 360dpi. Also, why DPI it should be PPI wich is a correct way of showing the image resolution, Pixel Per Inch.DPI usually refers to dot per inch wich is for printers. The sliders also don’t show the changes you make  on the tool bar.

Thanks

This has come up before (though without a response from Serif yet), and is not new in V2. The V1 apps on iPad worked the same way, I believe.

Hi @Kamkam,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Thanks for reporting this issue. I'm logging this to be looked at. Regarding the DPI/PPI label we do use DPI generically throughout the app by design, despite the differences between the two. It's something that was already raised/discussed several times before in various threads but that remains as it is by Serif's choice.

Thanks for your response . Later I noticed that if you first change the DPI and accept it and go back and change the measurements to inch and accept it then on the ruler you see the correct changes . Also the Resource Manager reflects the correct measurements/Correct DPI. So at this point this is the only way to resize an image correctly. As far as DPI/PPI there are number of text books on color theory that they use DPI and PPI interchangeably, so it not a big issue.  actually it becomes more important to distinguish one from another when it comes to printing your images. Thanks again.
