mac_heibu Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 First in Affinity Photo and Designer, now in Publisher too! Placing images don’t honour resolution but are aways placed at 72 dpi – no matter, what is specified in the file. I attached 2 Photoshop images, simply red nothing else, one TIF, one JPG, both 10 x 10 cm with a resolution of 300 dpi and 1181 px in width and height. Place both of them im Affinity Publisher, using the „Place Image“ tool and „click them“ onto the canvas. The result you may see in screen „1.jpg” (image on top: jpg, image at the bottom: tif)! The jpg is placed at 72 dpi (wrong), the tif at 300 dpi correct) The original files „A.jpg” and „B.tif” are attached as a zip-file „sample-images.zip“ as well. Just try!

dutchshader Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 i think this has something to de with the exif data. i opend the jpg in photo and exported it with "include metadata" unchecked. and now it is placed at the right size. intel core i5, 16GB 128Gb ssd win10 Pro Huion new 1060plus. philips 272p 2560x1440px on intel HD2500 onboard graphics Razer Tartarus Chroma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_heibu Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 @dutchshader: Yes, we know, that it has to do with exif data. Nevertheless it can’t be the case, that standard (Photoshop) jpgs are opened in wrong resolution! You can’t force users to strip metadata before placing the images in Publisher. As I said: A running gag since years, now revisited by Publisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Yes, Affinity applications seem to have issues with how PS writes the 300 dpi in the exif. Nothing else does. However, like mentioned, if I rewrite the images from Photoline (in my case) after "resizing" the image by only checking the box for 300dpi, then Affinity applications accept it. Comparing the images using the exif tool reveals no real differences in the exif except the creator (PS vs PL). It's been a weird, long standing issue.

petriknz Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Running Gag, indicates something is funny. There's nothing funny about this. Just been wasting a ton of time trying to place a PDF at the correct size in Publisher not knowing what the hell was going wrong.

mac_heibu Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 The „PDF resize issue“ is a different bug. Already fixed, it reappeared in the last beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 It looks to me like a mistake by APub's misread metadata, depending on the way a JPG got placed: While dragging the A.jpg from macOS finder into the document places the image in the expected size and resolution (100 x 100 mm, 300 dpi) – allthough the Recource Manager tells its original-resolution as 72 dpi. – The same resolution 72 dpi is shown by Manager when the jpg got placed by Place Tool, but then in different size (416,6 mm, 72 dpi). That said, APub knows the right metadata, but it sometimes processes them incorrectly. Correct size, if JPG got placed by dragging: ... Faulty size, if placed by Place Tool: ... macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
