Lisan Al Gaib Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I tried to export a document but I realized my selected area not the same in export window that I selected in my Affinity document.

GarryP Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 When you export, do you get the expected area or the area shown in the preview? Can you give us a full-screen screenshot where we can see the selected layer visible in the Layers Panel and where we can also see the Transform Panel? Would it be possible for you to share the document? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisan Al Gaib Posted December 2, 2023 Author Share Posted December 2, 2023 I expected only the selected area but the preview shows me a much bigger area and size of the area also not correct. I expected 800 pixels *400 pixels area but this area 800 pixels *464 pixels. Quote Win 11 OS - 32Gb RAM - i7-8750H CPU - GTX 1050 Ti GPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Thanks for the document. As asked in my previous post: What do you get when you actually export? Is there a reason why everything is so large? For example, a lot of your artboards are the equivalent of over 2 metres wide. I just tried to export as you did and the preview looks okay to me – see attached image. However, I notice that I have different export options to you – see bottom of Export Dialog. Which Affinity application are you exporting from? I notice that the selection you are exporting isn’t in an Artboard so I’m wondering if that has something to do with the problem you are seeing.

By Affinity softwares using milimetres I haven't changed yet. There is no specific reason.

GarryP Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 When I first open your document in Designer and go straight to export, setting the Area to “Selection Area” I get the same 'problem' preview and export as you. However, if I de-select what’s selected, then select the white background rectangle, and then go back to the Export Dialog (still with Area set to “Selection Area”) I don’t get the extra white space. But, when I drag-select the area containing the layers you want to export I get the same problem as originally. I don’t know why this should be at the moment – could it be because the white rectangle is rotated by 90 degrees? (I’m still wondering why you have different JPEG export options to me.)

Staff DWright Posted December 4, 2023 Staff Share Posted December 4, 2023 If you click the chain icon between the size fields to turn off aspect ration you can then enter 800 and 400 into these fields and this will be the dimension that is exported.
