GDeeb Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I have read the previous discussions on this topic, and none have resolved this issue for me (and from what I have read, for a lot of other users as well). I am going to try to state this as simply, clearly, and specifically as I can. I am using Windows 10. If I right-click on my target jpeg image, and select properties, it shows a Horizontal and Vertical resolution of 72 dpi. I open the image in AP, and select Document - Resize document. In the pop-up box, I uncheck Resample and change the DPI to 300, and click Resize. I can then either Save or Export (doesn't matter which) the file. Now the problem. If I check the properties of Saved/Exported file it still shows 72 dpi. I need to send the file to the end user, as well as upload the file to a processor for printing an enlargement. Both will reply the file is unacceptable because the resolution is too low. Not surprising since the properties still show 72 dpi. In comparison to Light Room, when I change the resolution in that program the Saved/Exported file properties show 300 dpi. Bottom line - how do I end up with a file from AP whose properties show 300 dpi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted June 25, 2018 Staff Share Posted June 25, 2018 Hi GDeeb and Welcome to the Forums, If you see this post by MEB, it's a known issue and the workaround is to not embed the metadata when you export from Affinity. You'll then see the image is reported correctly as 300DPI or whatever DPI you set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
