nickpan Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) Photo starts off as 1.2mb in Google Photos, but when I download it to my laptop it shrinks to 792kb, is there somewhere I can adjust that? Is it a jpg thing? File stays full size when I save original on phone, to GoogleDrive, but if it goes to Google Photos it shrinks - even though I have the 'original size' selected on Google Photos. Thanks Edited October 16, 2018 by nickpan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted October 16, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 16, 2018 Hi nickpan, How does Affinity Photo fit into this workflow? Sounds like the image is being resampled on download, possibly by the browser/Google. I believe Google Photos does have an option to compress images when they store them, so could be something related to that. nickpan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, the next question might be: how are you getting the image from Google Photos into Affinity Photo? nickpan 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

nickpan Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Ah, I've sussed it. When I checked GooglePhoto settings on the Mac, it said 'upload at original size'. However, on the phone, on GooglePhotos, it was set to only 'high quality'. I'd been foolish and assumed they would have synchronised something like that.
