Palm Tale Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Hi all, I have a Affinity Photo Design that I have built with 4800 x 4000 pixels; 300dpi and my customer wants to have it in logo size, so quite small for a letter head. I do not quite manage to maintain the quality of my bigger file. Would anyone have the expertise in Affinity Photo of how to resize to such a smaller size (approx. 2,5 inch to 1,5 inch) maintaining the good quality? thx in advance, Kristina Quote
Staff Gabe Posted June 12, 2018 Staff Posted June 12, 2018 Hi @Palm Tale, Welcome to the forums. Downsizing does not affect the quality. Only upsizing does. As for the size you mentioned, 2.5 x 1.5inch @ 300 dpi = 750 × 450 Pixels . TO resize it, you can either resize the canvas: Or Resize at export: Thanks, Gabe. Quote
Staff MEB Posted June 12, 2018 Staff Posted June 12, 2018 Hi Palm Tale, Welcome to Affinity Forums Downsizing can blur/fuzzy the output. Make sure you select an apropriate Resample algorithm like Lanczos or Bicubic to help improve things a little. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
toltec Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 As @MEBsays but you might find it very useful to apply a bit of Unsharp Mask sharpening after resizing. It depends on the image. Layer > New Live Filter Layer > Unsharp Mask Filter (add a filter layer) or Filters > Sharpen > Unsharp Mask (destructive so no layer. but you can use this with a split view which makes it easier to see the effect. Do this after you resize down Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.
