AD Export persona exports slices with weird dimensions when other then 72DPI document

[lexislav]

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?

 

Thanks

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.

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…
