Opera Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 For me DPI resizing of an image without the resample option ticked is very essential to determine its print size.But resizing an Image in the "resize document" dialogue in DPI without the resample option ticked doens't affect the values in the upper boxes (cm, Inches,...) during changing the DPI values. So I cannot see how a value change from 72 DPI to 300 DPI affects a document in centimeters. First I must apply my changes and then I have to reopen the resize document dialogue to see the new values. So the document resize dialogue in its present form is not very useful.

Staff MEB Posted November 14, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 14, 2016 Hi Opera, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Here's a small tip: assuming you have the units already set to centimetres, change the dpi as you wish then tick the Resample box and untick it again. It will update the width and height values for you using the new dpi value you have entered.

Fixx Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Resize dialog really should allow entering cm/mm/inch when resample is not ticked, and update dpi value accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you MEB, well, it is a workaround, but I'm hoping for an update of the resize document dialogue, because it's sooo essential for professional users. Evaluating the image for its print size is usually the very first step. I have tried your suggestion but it seems there also is a mega-bug in the windows-beta version. If I change the values in centimeters in the left upper box the right centimeters value box shows only funny values. If I click apply the picture is distorted to a line.

Staff MEB Posted November 15, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 15, 2016 Hi Opera, This was logged as an improvement request earlier but wasn't implemented yet. The dev teams have been quite busy. Bear with us while we get there. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
