DPI set to 400 changes layers


Recommended Posts

Hi!
Changed the DPI in Document Setup from 300 to 400 dpi. After OK, the transparent layer on top of the layout doubled its itensity. That's strange as the changement of DPI should not change the layout or layers.

By the way: Excellent software already. Quark and InDesign need to hurry if Affinity goes on like that!

Can you provide screenshots (also including the Layers panel) and/or a sample .afpub file to help us understand what you're seeing and reproduce it?

Thanks for the file color-fan-tastic,

What is happening here is that the transparent gradient you are using is on the Master Page. When you change the DPI, the objects on the page have to be rescaled to match the new pixel values.

An unfortunate side effect of this is that the Master Page layer on this is also getting rescaled when it shouldn't be - this can be seen by the transparent fill hanging over the edge of the page! This should be fixed in the next build!

Hi Sean. That's fine and if one knowes of that - not problem.

Keep on and let adobe look old with a superb, quick and easy usable layout program!
And add something similar to Lightroom (but much better...) to the group of programs in the future, which works on all sorts of filetypes.
And give good opportunities to import Quark and InDesign files as IDML or alike at hand too and you will find a very dedicated community growing even quickier than now!
Greetings Dan
