Save window popping up HUGE in Win10

[Aaron F]

Hello all,

Apologies if this has already come up but I have just started using Affinity Photo and getting on OK until I need to save... It pops a window that is massively zoomed in, making it very difficult to then select where I need to save the file. I can't see directories, I can't see file type save options, it is unworkable. Hoping this is just a setting issue and easily solved as if not I may have to give up on it.

Thanks

Hi Aaron F and Welcome to the Forums,

 

If you check the Display settings in Windows, what is the Scaling set to?  I suspect it will be higher than the recommended setting and that's why the box is showing up so large.

Hi Stokerg,

I am new to Win10 (yesterday!) but scaling is set to 100% and everything else works well. I have checked the magnifier setting and this is currently turned off too so I don't think it is this, any other ideas?

I also don't seem to be able to change the settings to save as anything other than an Affinity file type so maybe I am doing something wrong? (Just clicking 'save as')

I suspect this is one of the "commoner" problems!

 

"Save as" will always save to the afphoto format.  To save to a different type/format you need to "Export" (on the file menu).  That will allow you to select the format you wish to export to.

Ah ha! I will try this as soon as I can get the program to close down, and restart, it has crashed...

Thanks, I remember the export not save from something else but have been Adobe for ages. Unfortunately this still has the same problem with the window font/layout though.

Hahhahahaha!

Simple fix... Win10 had dropped back in to tablet mode and I hadn't noticed. Now turned off and all is as it should be, I think it may take me a little longer to get used to 10 than I thought. Thanks for all the help everyone!
