Kinggaz79 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Hi there i am a complete novice with Affinity Photo on my iPad Pro. If someone was to email a jpeg to me for a business card, once I have opened the file in affinity, how can I check the dimensions of the jpeg and what resolution the image is? thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted January 11, 2018 Staff Share Posted January 11, 2018 Hi Kinggaz79 and Welcome to the Forums, For the Dimensions of the image and DPI, if you tap the Document Menu and select Resize, it will display the dimensions of the image and depending on how big your iPad Pro is, you should also see the current DPI. If you have a smaller iPad Pro, you'll need to tap the white triangle just past the apple option to view the DPI. if you tap on the Metadata Studio (little Camera icon down the right side of Affinity) . If you just want to quickly check the dimensions of an open image, down the right hand side tap the Metadata Studio icon (looks like a little camera) this will pop out a panel with the metadata for that image and will show the dimensions of the image (but not DPI) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil P Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 How can I do the same (check resolution, dimensions, etc.) if using a PC? Also, can I change the DPI from say, 72 to 300 AFTER I have created a document (and forgot to set it at 300 in the beginning)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil P Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Thank you! Uncheck? 3 people told me to make sure Resample is checked. LOL Well, I'll just try it both ways. Again, thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulEC Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 If Resample is checked the physical dimensions will stay the same when you change the DPI. If it is unchecked the dimensions will change with the DPI.

iconoclast Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 If "Resample" is checked, the quantity of pixels of the image will change (increase/decrease), so the size of the image will change too. If it is unchecked the quantity of pxels will stay the same and only its relation to the DPI-value will change. This is important for printing, because pixels don't have a fixed size. So you have to fix at what size the single pixels shall be printed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
