thomaso Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 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 %?

walt.farrell Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 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.

thomaso Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 Thank you Walt. I forgot to mention that I use Mac, where unfortunately the context menu does not have these infos.

walt.farrell Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 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: Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 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" ?

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?)

thomaso Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 "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.

walt.farrell Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 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.
