Pixel resolution from A Designer does not fit into A Publisher

[Faay]

Hi everybody,

I design a book in A Publisher and I draw my grafics in A Designer. If I copy and past objects from A Designer into A Publisher everythink is fine with the resolution, it's 1:1. But I want to be able to embed my Artboards from A Designer into A Publisher. When I try to place my A Designer Artboards into Publisher the resolution is messed up. It's more than 3 times bigger. Why is this so? Can anyone help please? Thank you!

It's probably due to different used/setup document resolutions (ppi), as a copy paste via the Clipboard usually results to 96 dpi (pixel density) graphics, where when embedding docs it depends on the embedded doc's resolution. - Check your AFpub and ADe used doc resolution setups, if they do match.

Other than that it could also be an import/embed bug, somebody who uses v2 apps has to try.

Hi @Faay,
welcome to the Affinity Forums!

Are you using Affinity V1 or V2 apps? In V1 I can't reproduce such a difference in object dimensions but in adapted resolution only.

Here a certain dimension of a copied image layer is maintained between two Affinity documents, while in case of different document resolutions its reported scaling value and thus its DPI gets adapted.

Concerning page dimensions for a placed Affinity document instead of copy/pasting its containing image: Then both the placed page dimensions AND document resolution of the source are maintained in the target document, regardless of the target's document resolution.

Not to me in V1 on mac. I experience the 96 DPI issue only when I create a new Affinity document from clipboard content.

Yes for new this was always the case here in V1 apps  ...

• copy paste 96 dpi site:forum.affinity.serif.com

... though I can't tell how it behaves in v2 apps now (as I don't use them) and if something has been changed in the meantime for those then, or if some new bugs have been introduced there related to this copy/paste via clipboard theme.

Thank you all! It was indeed a resolution problem. Both documents should have the same resolution.
