madmats Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Yeah, maybe we should start calling it a bug so they at least react a bit. 😂 Seriously, how can a product manager believe this is a great function? DenalB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuBre Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Ideally, we should have 3 options: 1. Automatically "Shrink to fit screen" when the image is larger than your workspace/monitor size 2. Automatically "Display at 100% zoom level" when the image is smaller than your workspace/monitor size 3. Do nothing and open the image at its original size, regardless of your workspace/monitor size A 300x300 pixel image should never be automatically zoomed to fit a 4K screen, it makes no sense whatsoever, it looks horrible and it forces the user to constantly adjust the zoom level. On the other side, a 9000x9000 pixel image could be automatically resized to fit the screen, with the option to open it at its 100% size if the user prefers to work with a 1:1 pixel ratio. The keyword here is "option". I hope the developers will consider this thing, sooner or later 😐 DenalB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfmc Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I created a new ticket under product support. maybe we can get some fresh affinity eyes on this thread as it has clearly not on anyone's radar at Serif DenalB and Bobanian 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Bohn Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Day one of using Affinity Photo I looked for a setting to turn it off. It's super annoying. I posted here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuBre Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Patch 1.9.1 FINALLY.... Oof, nope. Still nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmats Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Well, seems like it's time to fire their PO/PM. It's been 5 years soon and this bug is still not fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuBre Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 It looks like they don't even consider it a "bug" but a real "feature". This week I've been dealing with a LOT of low-res images for a legacy project. Something like 500+ product jpg images between 350 and 600 pixel (width). Working on a 32" 4K monitor makes it worse than ever. You just see a mass of HUGE pixels every time. It's a freaking hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmats Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Just now, LuBre said: It looks like they don't even consider it a "bug" but a real "feature". Yeah, I'm just using harsh words here. Maybe they'll react? Probably not. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuBre Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Almost 5 years later still nothing. Serif, please, for the love of the mighty gods. Can you add this option? Please. Please. Please. Please. madmats and DenalB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobanian Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 This bug/feature was driving my nuts, so I'm back to using Photoshop at work. I'll keep Affinity Photo because of the fantastic integration with Designer and Affinity Publisher, but for web graphics I had to go back to Adobe Photoshop. Affinity team, if you read this, could you at least acknowledge the issue and explain the reasoning behind passing on what seems like an easy fix?

Yeah, it's quite the embarrassment how they treat their customers. I'm voting for a reduced salary for the PO until this is fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickfmc Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I'm going to miss you guys, we have been through a lot together over the years, all the "GAHHHs" we had together opening files. I think of OGs like @Peter Werner the @Jowdays who just couldn't take it anymore. All of the humble braggers like @LuBre with more oversized monitors than nasa, and all the rest of us like @madmats who can't get our heads around the fact that people were ok with this for so long. a lot has changed in the world since we all first got together, I'd just like to say it's been an honor.... neigh a privilege to get to know each and everyone of you!! may your pinky fingers all rest from the ctrl + 1 contortion and may the memory that this was ever a bug(ya I said BUG @MEB )fade over time.

Big/wide screens have been a reality for a long time, to be honest. If you work with graphics on a daily basis I think a big/wide screen is almost mandatory for your productivity (and sanity).
