AvdB Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Op de schermafdruk (linked.png) die ik hierbij meezend, heb ik een afbeelding op 300 dpi gezet (met Affinity Photo 2.0) terwijl hij onder <Placed DPI> maar 285 dpi weergeeft. (Zie ook de functie Resource Manager) Het is voor mijn drukker belangrijk dat de afbeeldingen/foto's worden weergegeven in 300 dpi. Vraag: wat wordt precies verstaan onder <Placed DPI> en hoe weet ik nu of de 300 dpi wordt gehaald voor de aanlevervoorwaarden die de drukker stelt? Zie ook de rode pijl die wel verwijst naar een 300 dpi-waarde. Dit is voor mij een beetje verwarrend. Graag een toelichting op mijn vragen. Bij voorbaat hartelijk dank!

walt.farrell Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Consider a document with a page size of 8.5 x 11 inches, and consider a file you're going to Place which is 300 DPI but only 4 x 5 inches in size. If you Place that file on the page, at its exact actual size, it will be 4 x 5 inches, and 300 DPI. However, if you Place it on the page and enlarge it to 8 x 10 inches, it will only be 150 DPI because you have the same number of pixels but you've spread them out to make the image larger. You've done something like that, but not as extreme. Your 1784 x 2511 px image, at 300 DPI, would have been 151 mm wide. But you've made it 160 mm wide on the page, so its DPI has decreased. One way to fix that: make sure that the image is Placed at its actual size, not enlarged as you've done. If you're using a Picture Frame, you can set its properties via the Context Toolbar so it doesn't modify the image. Then it won't fill the Frame, but it will be the DPI you want.

thomaso Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Another way to fix that: If you need a slightly increased image size in the layout but don't want to embed/rasterize or upscale the linked image file you can try a workaround: Apply a vector layer mask to the image (e.g. via 'Vector Crop Tool') and crop the image minimally (e.g. 1 px at 1 edge). – This will force up-sampling of this image on export to the resolution set in the export options (e.g. 300 dpi). It used to work in V1 and might need to get checked in V2, in particular since appears to be logged by/for the developers as a bug in the meantime. Also the PDF/X versions 1 and 3 appear to cause up-sampling of images on export.

AvdB Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 Het spijt me, maar ik kom er niet uit. Ik kan geen 300 dpi foto's / afbeeldingen in mijn bestand krijgen. Kun je me misschien een YouTube-video sturen waarin dit wordt uitgelegd? Ik heb zelf ook gezocht, maar het verwijst naar paint.net om foto's te krijgen op 300 dpi, terwijl ik Affinity Publisher / Affinity Photo en Affinity Designer heb. Ik hoop echt dat je me nog een keer wilt helpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bit Disappointed Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I'm busy, so quickly: An image does not have DPI; it's just a metadata tag. A jpg/tiff image has a resolution measured in pixels. The printer has DPI, which is how many dots it can place per unit of measure, here inch. So, it's all about your image's pixel resolution here. If it has few pixels, it will have a low placed DPI. If it has many pixels, it will have a higher placed DPI. When you enlarge it in Publisher, you are stretching these pixels over a larger area, and the image gets a lower placed DPI. In short, if the placed DPI drops to a number lower than what you expect, then you need to use an image with a larger pixel amount, i.e., a higher pixel resolution. More megapixels. Placed DPI means how high the DPI/pixel density actually is in the current publication with the size you have given the image in the publication. That is why you can see it drop as you enlarge a picture and vice versa. I hope that cleared things up!

If you click-place an image in your layout (not drag-place) it will get placed with the current DPI of this layout document – and accordingly in the dimensions that correspond with the number of pixels of this image. The 'number of pixels' is also called 'pixel dimensions', 'image resolution', 'image size' or 'megapixels'. See also your previous thread and @Oufti's screenshot in particular. It shows the pop-up dialog to set the placed size | the placed DPI of a currently selected image, either with maintaining its aspect ratio (chain/lock) or with stretching it and thus causing non-proportional scaling. If you work with picture frames you also have picture frame properties with the option of stretching versus preserving the aspect ratio of the nested image. From your last screenshot it is not unambiguously clear whether the reported image in the preflight panel is in fact identically with the one you have selected for the screenshot because the screenshot doesn't show the Pages Panel (current page number) and Layers panel with the currently selected layer. – With picture frames the aspect ration of the placed image and of the frame don't have to be identically and may differ, without influencing the DPI. For instance a landscape image may be used as squared picture in the layout without modified / stretched / non-proportional DPI: AvdB 1 Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walt.farrell Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Your first screenshot shows that the image has been stretched non-proportionally, as it shows 2 DPI values. That is probably not what you want, though it may not matter very much visually given that the values are similar. But note that both are slightly lower than 300 DPI.

Ik ben overgestapt van InDesign naar Affinity Publisher. Ik zit daarom met een hoop vragen. Ik heb een boek gekocht over de Affinity Suite.

Zijn deze nu correct? In your first post you mention printer requirements. While the shown values appear fully sufficient a preflight software of an online printer might complain about the tiny imperfection and reject an uploaded PDF. Also you might consider to activate / add a bleed area for your document (+ increase objects at the page edges slightly or add an according colour at least to avoid white flickering in case of imperfect cutting after printing). FWIW: the second screenshot is not relevant / doesn't allow a judgement. It just shows that the image was opened at 300 dpi. Similar for the last screenshot: don't we know already that your layout document is set to 300 dpi, too? – The interesting aspect is the ratio of pixel dimensions and document resolution. Thus your screenshots can be more informative if you show the Layers panel + the Transform panel (while 'Colours' and 'Text Styles' don't matter here). It might help for a more direct experience of DPI | image dimensions | placed size to switch the document unit temporarily from mm to pixels (px). This way you get a direct feedback about a certain pixel dimension of a selected object. – For instance: If the Transform panel shows for the selected picture frame (placed in full page size) the values x pixels by y pixels you know the minimum required pixel size for the image nested inside this picture frame. If the image inside the frame is selected the Transform panel shows the currently placed size while the Context Toolbar shows the available size.

AvdB Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 1 uur geleden zei Thomaso: In je eerste bericht vermeld je printervereisten. Hoewel de getoonde waarden volledig voldoende lijken, kan een preflight-software van een online printer klagen over de kleine onvolkomenheid en een probleem PDF afwijzen. U kunt ook overwegen om een eindgebied voor uw document te activeren/toe te voegen (+ objecten aan de paginaranden iets te vergroten of een overeenkomstige kleur toe te voegen om op zijn minst witflikkering te voorkomen in het geval van onvolkomen uitsnijden na het afdrukken). FWIW: de tweede screenshot is niet relevant / laat geen oordeel toe. Het laat alleen zien dat de afbeelding is geopend met 300 dpi. Gelijktijdig voor de laatste schermafbeelding: weten we niet al dat uw lay-outdocument ook op 300 dpi is ingesteld? – Het interessante aspect is de verhouding tussen pixelafmetingen en documentresolutie. Uw schermafbeeldingen kunnen dus informatiever zijn als u het paneel Lagen + het paneel Transformeren toont (terwijl 'Kleuren' en 'Tekststijlen' hier niet van belang zijn). Het kan helpen voor een directe ervaring van DPI | afmetingen afbeelding | geplaatst formaat om de documenteenheid tijdelijk te wijzigen van mm naar pixels (px). Op deze manier krijgt u directe feedback over een bepaalde pixelafmeting van een geselecteerd object. - Bijvoorbeeld: Als het deelvenster Transformeren voor de geselecteerde afbeeldingslijst (geplaatst op volledige paginagrootte) de waarden x pixels bij y pixels weergeeft, kent u de minimaal vereiste pixelgrootte voor de afbeelding die in deze afbeeldingslijst is genest. Als de afbeelding binnen het frame is geselecteerd, toont het deelvenster Transformeren de huidige geplaatste grootte , terwijl de Contextwerkbalk de beschikbare grootte toont . Bedankt voor de uitgebreide uitleg en de schermafdrukken. Ik waardeer het enorm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
