KJM-Designer Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I am trying to export a design, but the slices that are created in the export persona are much larger than the objects, and I can't figure out why. It's driving me crazy. I've attached an example file. Any help is greatly appreciated! Slice Issue Example.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Lee D Posted March 22, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 22, 2019 You're using an Artboard, when you switch to the Export persona the slice will be the size of the Artboard. As @Pšenda suggests, use the Slice Tool to draw a a new slice to export at the size you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJM-Designer Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Thank you all for the suggestions, but that still doesn't solve the problem. I can't manually resize the slice because it will not snap to the size of the layer, so it will always be slightly off. I just don't understand why it is doing this now when I have never experienced this issue before. If you open the example file you will see what I mean. I appreciate your help!

carl123 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Your document is 96 DPI... The Export persona is reporting the dimensions as if it was a 72 DPI document, hence the increase in size Someone else may be able to explain why it does this as I ain't got a clue and it's Friday so I really don't care at the moment Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

What I see in the Export Persona is the slice size is shown in pixels, which for the artboard has been rounded up from its 2659.31 x 1188.74 px size to 2660 x 1189 px. The document units were originally set to points ("pt"), so the Transform panel shows 1994.5 pt x 891.6 pt for the width & height. Changing the document units to px shows the numbers above. carl123 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Ah, you are correct. With my setup showing 6 decimal places I did not notice the pt at the end in the Transform panel. Which explains the 96/72 mismatch I was seeing in the export persona. I wonder if the OP was misled by this as well? Maybe the export persona should automatically use/display the same units as used in the document? Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
