nimitz48 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I'm trying to export a file, to jpeg, with a certain size. The printer wants 4060 px by 2900 px. No matter what I try, they are telling me the short side is to short. My image is 12083px by 15104 px, in an afi format. How do I get this to the right size for the printer? Also, my max file size can't be over 30 meg, but that part isn't an issue. Thanks for your help. Wes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, Wes. The actual aspect ratio of your image is 1.25:1, so there's no way you can get 1.4:1 without cropping. How you do that will vary depending on which Affinity application you're using, Photo or Designer.

nimitz48 Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 Hi Walt, thank you very much. I'm in photo, and not sure I can crop it without losing anything. How would I crop it correctly? Wes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"correctly cropping" could mean: use the crop tool / (or, if in AfPublisher, use an image frame with "lock child" activated) "crop without losing anything" could mean: stretch the image in one direction to achieve the wanted aspect ratio. (and give the impression/imagination only that nothing is lost) Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimitz48 Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 Hmm, thank you for that idea. Is there a tool inside of photo, that would indicate aspect ratio, or is it strictly pixels? Wes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Aspect Ratio is the ratio of Height to Width, it can be in pixels or any other unit. It is best represented as 1:2 or 1:1.5 but sadly no one does the arithmetic any more so we see 4 x 5 or 16 x 9 instead. nimitz48 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimitz48 Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 Thank you all, I created a new doc with the settings I needed. I then dragged my art onto it, and used the move tool to size it to the document. This seemed to work better than I thought it would.
