thomasbricker Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Im experiencing the weirdest issue: When I go to export my Affinity Photo file (Aprox. 33mb), and I select Jpeg, at 85% quality with no dimensional changes 600px X 1200px at 72 dpi, Im getting massive files. 88mb jpegs! That is insane. I have never had this issue with AP. I cant image what is creating this phenomenon. If I then open this jpeg and flatten it, the file size goes back to what you would expect. (300 k) I was under the impression that Jpeg have no layers and are flat by definition. What is going on here? Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Hi, That sounds strange if there was layers when you reopened the file. Are you sure it was a JPG? Can you see file extensions? (You didn't write it in the file name by error, but save another file format?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasbricker Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 I discovered the source of the problem. The original file had a huge amount of metadata. I unchecked the box that said “save metadata “ and the file is now appropriately small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasbricker Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 Just used the standard export environment. (Hitting shift, option, command S) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasbricker Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 And yes. The file def. has a .jpg suffix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
