kellerkustom Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I am trying to create a composite image consisting of 26 RAW .nef files. The issue I'm having is that when I create a new stack job I'm losing a lot of dpi. The files are native 6000 x 4000 pixels at 300 dpi. When I stack them all together in a batch the dpi drops to 92 dpi. I'm printing this image to 60x40 inches so i need to squeeze as much resolution out as possible. I'm still relatively new to Affinity so i'm sure that there is a setting that i'm missing. Until I get a solution, my temp fix is going to be to develop and save each image individually as a .tiff then load them all as a new stack... not the most efficient fix but at least it'll keep me moving... I'm getting the feeling that there's not a lot of light painters that use this software. Thanks in advance for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"6000 x 4000 pixels at 300 dpi" the dpi doesn't matter, the image is 6000 x 4000 pixels. You are not losing anything.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Bruce Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 If you want 60 x 40 inches at 300 dpi you will have to resize the files by a factor of 3 times so the file will be 18,000 by 12,000. Do that after you have stack job finished and flattened otherwise you will really be taxing your machine with 26 files at 18000*12000 pixels.
