image size / stretch info?

[thomaso]

Is there any place I can recognize if an image is stretched (= out of its original proportions)?
I'd expect to read this at least in the Resource Manager > DPI > horizontal/vertical dpi – but it tells only one value (the smaller one?)

And, is anywhere even an info about the images placed size and its stretch values in x % , y %?

With an image selected, and the Move Tool active, the context menu may have the info you want about being stretched non-proportionally. If the image has been adjusted proportionally you will see one dpi value. If it was stretched non-proportionally you will see two dpi values.

Thank you Walt. I forgot to mention that I use Mac, where unfortunately the context menu does not have these infos.

I'm surprised that Serif would have the red versions acting differently for that.

I'm mainly surprised because I would think this is an area of the Affinity applications that would be common code between the two operating systems.

Just to be sure, are you sure you have the Move Tool selected? That's the only time it shows up in the Context Menu:

Appears to be easier for them to develop for Windows first; it is my impression from several forum keyboard shortcuts discussions in which Serif does not seem to be interested in very traditional Mac GUI rules. Also, the context menu partially is created by the system. For instance I have in AFPubs "Bullets and Numbering" options for the "Text" field some context menu items relating the write direction. That's no Serif creation, does not even make sense here but exists also in other applications which support these macOS feature.

What is "red versions" ?

Ah, indeed, yes, we can! There it tells the original pixel dimensions and values for the effective resolution.

Thank you for your persistence – I had a different understanding for context menu, the pop-up which opens on control-click (how do you call these?)

On my Mac I have a truncated version of the pixel dimensions @ dpi field. This is due to the tiny screen I am using right now.

And yeah as @thomaso asked What is "red versions"?

[thomaso]

"truncated" in which way?
If you see only 1 DPI value, it is even healthier. 2 values are displayed when the image has been stretched. Then horizontal and vertical resolution are different.

Sigh. "Red versions" will have to remain a mystery, as I no longer remember what it was supposed to be before autocorrect changed it.

Was perhaps supposed to be "different" or something like that.

I will continue to use my Red version, happy as only ignorance can make me.
