Export Persona changes the size.

[Sukavi]

ok..here I am again. I apolgoze for that.

I have been struggling with this for a couple weeks now. I cant seem to figure out the solution.

Using AP, I have a 300dpi file that is 825x825 px. I exported it from the file menu, and everything is ok. I use the  Export persona, and I enter a world of frustration. All the layers are now exported at LARGER sizes. still 300 DPI but at 2577 × 1916 pixels? 
I have the 1x thing on the slices set so what am I doing wrong?

Your second screenshot shows the dimensions as 828 px × 825 px.

I don't see those numbers anywhere in either of the two screenshots. I presume the output is severely distorted, given the very different aspect ratio.

sorry about there.

here is the end result of what is being exported when usuing the export persona.

It is still not clear in this screenshot without the Layers panel or a selected object. As Alfred mentioned already, the aspect ratio is an indicator, too.
Compare below: The Metadata may tell the document (canvas) dimension, regardless of a layer's size.

Thank you for the help both of you. So as I was taking a screenshot to show you the size, I realized what I needed to do was rasterize and trim as there were elements outside of the document's size. thats what was increasing the size. now i see the issue. I rasterized and trimmed and now when i use the export persona it outputs to the correct size.

I was just going to post about that! I’m glad you managed to figure it out for yourself.

So i guess my next question is, is there a setting or something that when using the Export persona that it ignores things outside of the artboard etc?

or do i need to rasterize and trim everything before doing the Export persona? I often have things hanging outside the artboard for several reasons.

As far as I’m aware, the main reason for using the Export persona instead of ‘File > Export…’ is the flexibility it offers. You can create slices that include multiple parts of the canvas, or (as in this case) only one small part of it, but if you want to include everything that isn’t transparent I would do exactly as you did.

Gotcha. I have several versions of cards to export in each file. saved as layers. i just thought i could use it as a quick way to export the 12 cards. saves me from going to the menu to hit export 12 times and using the save dialog 12 times.
