Whispercom Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 When editing images in in Affinity from Lightroom I'm asked for format and resolution. Tiff is fine but if I open in 240 resolution am I giving up detail? Shouldn't I pick a higher number to preserve quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whispercom Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 Seems like a reasonable question, think it deserved a reasonable answer. Felling just a bit FLAMED With RAW files in lightroom all data is preserved but exporting to TIFF and a specific resolution is data lost.

John Rostron Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 As has often been pointed out, the resolution is largely ignored by Affinity, and is irrelevant unless you are printing. @owenr's suggestion seems a good way forward.

v_kyr Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 NO not necessarily, it depends more on the desired output media (if for screen, printer, prepress etc.) and if lossless compression is used or not. - See for example this to get a quick idea.

Fixx Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Qualitywise it does not matter which resolution you choose in "edit in" dialog. Pixel resolution will be the same (like 4288 x 2848). (Ignore all other replies in this thread, they are all OT ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
