Print at actual size

[jbw]

I'd like to see the ability to print a document at the actual size. For example if I had a drawing that was 7.5"x10" and 300 pixels per inch and wanted to see it at those 7.5"x10" dimensions on an 8.5"x11" standard piece of paper, the drawing will instead stretch out to the edges and measure slightly larger than 7.5"x10".

 

This is really useful and even pretty much necessary if you plan on printing your work and want to preview it at actual size first (like say a book, comic, magazine, etc.).

 

If there's a way to do this already please let me know. I know when you use the "Preview" app in Mac OS to view and print a PDF file it will let you scale it to actual size before printing, but it won't let you do so with a PNG file.

 

At any rate, this would be a useful feature!

Here's a screenshot of the "Preview" app that is part of Mac OS, and when you go to print a PDF as you can see there is an option to scale at 100% which will print the document at actual size. It's just an extra print option when you go to print.

 

Something like this in Affinity would be really useful to have, so that you could test print drawings, or if you simply wanted a print of your drawing at actual size.
