benleb Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 (edited) I am currently in the learning curve with Affinity Photo 2 after using Photoshop for 30 years. I use Finder's spacebar preview feature to browse through my digital art files and have noticed that, for the exact same document, AP's preview is smaller than PS's. Please see attached image showing both previews from the exact same 2000 x 2000 px document, one saved with AP (left) and PS (right). It's unfortunate because it's a feature I use a lot and the bigger preview works so much better for me. Can I customize the preview from AP to be bigger?

But from your screenshot, they do not appear to be the same -- one is an *.afphoto document & the other is a *.psd document. Anyway I do not know of a way to set a larger default Quick Look size for Affinity files, although of course you can use the full screen button to make it huge or drag out a corner of the window or use the other options to increase the preview size less dramatically.

Affinity apps don't provide any options to make larger ones today.
