Resample - Interpolation when import a image.

[amoraleite]

In my other suggestion I asked to include in future updates the ability to change interpolation mode when you scale or reduce an object. This is very useful when you want more pixel precision, in special Pixel art. Most programs have this ability.
 

But in this suggestion here I ask you to include the same skill when we import an image. Both ways in Place Mode and in drag and drop.

Thank you!

I'm not sure I understand that. Both methods give you an Image layer which maintains all the information (color format, color profile, all the pixels) of the original.

Nothing about that information is changed unless you Rasterize the layer. Wouldn't it be the Rasterize process that would need the interpolation settings you're interested in, not Placing or Pasting?

no. when you import an image into Affinity Photo it defaults to Bicubic mode. If you rasterize it remains Bicubic.
 

The only way to preserve the file's mode is to open it in a new document. But this is so painful and anti-productive… And more, if I want to scale a image/ layer, I have to have it in a document to be able to use this interpolation feature? imagine a project with more than 50 image layers and you have to do this in every image. 
 

Walt this is a very common feature. Tell me a name of program (photo edition) and I’ll show to you how do this. Resample/Interpolation is mandatory.  Affinity have this, but for entire document.
