Resize Document Question/Feature Request

[hayman]

Hi, as both a professional small & large format printer and previous Photoshop user for many years - I have to frequently resize (scale) images for printing.

 

My question is that using the 'Resize Document' feature with the resample check box unchecked -it does not dynamically change the size if I alter the dpi or vice versa. I have to click the 'Resize' button then select 'Resize Image' again to see the difference. Am I missing something or is this a feature that could be added please?

 

Note: This process is a fairly basic, yet a fundamentally important requirement commercially - to check if a provided image by a client is a high enough resolution for printing.

 

thanks,

Hi Barry,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

We are aware of this limitation. I already filled an improvement request for this some time ago.

Here's a tip that may help for now. If you tick the resample box and untick it again the dimensions should update when you change the dpi.

Hi MEB, thanks for your reply - its nice to know Im not the only one who needs this basic requirement!

Also thanks for your tip - it did work, but there are limitations, such as I cant change the dimensions and see the dpi go up or down.

 

Is it worth others, including myself putting in a feature request?

 

Cheers

Barry

Yes, i think so. I will add it to the Common Feature Requests list as this was already requested quite a few times too.
