lexislav Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Hi, I am just currious if this is bug or unexpected by design. I am currently designing app with icons. Those iccons has 24 x 12 px. Document is setup for retina display (144DPI). When I use export persona and create 24x12px slide on the icon, export it to PDF or PNG, it results to file with 12 x 6 px dimensions. Well, ok… I would expect original 24 x 12 px slice dimensions with proper DPI setting. When document settings is set to 72DPI, slice is exported as expected - 24 x 12px. When document setting is other than those DPI values (for example 300DPI, 108DPI etc.) I am getting blank images or something blurred… I don't see to much logic in this behaviour, but You may have some explination and advice how to get correct file size even for other then 72DPI documents?

R C-R Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 The DPI setting is relevant only to the physical dimensions of printed output, or when you export to a raster format like PNG or a rasterized PDF. Watching the Affinity Photo - Understanding DPI video tutorial may help you understand when DPI is important & when it isn't.

lexislav Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 Thanks for tutorial, I am familiar with DPI concept. Maybe I got it all wrong… but rectangle 300px x 300px should get exported as rectangle 300px x 300px, especialy as vector PDF. Not as 150px x 150px DPI should not get involved untill it is rastered or printed… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
