Affinty Photo v1 - When I Place Image I Have To Resize Image (Drag to place image)

[Mainecoon364]

When I place image at “Documents - Place Image” and choose my image to import It says “Drag to place image”

 

And when I drag It is resizing. It is also placed as upside down so I have to rotate It as 180 degrees.

 

So I do not know If I increse the size by exceeding Its quality or not.

 

So how can I place image without resizing?

Unless it just happens to have the same size and DPI as your canvas, you can't.

If it does have the same native size and DPI as your canvas, dragging to make it that size in the workspace won't affect quality.

You would need to provide a sample that does this, for us to examine, I think. Also some information on how you created the image, and what manipulations you may have made in other applications.

After selecting which image you want, you can single tap on your document and it will be placed full size in your document. Likely your document will not be big enough and your image will overlap your document, fix by dragging and reducing image size or go document -> canvas -> unclip document to extend your document canvas.

When placing by dragging you should drag top left to bottom right so that your image is upright.

Of course the easiest way to get an image full size is to use the import from photos or import from iCloud options.
