LionelD Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 When you use “Place Image” in Designer for iPad, Designer seems to offer no information about the original size of raster images, and appears quite content to scale raster images beyond their original size. I just verified this; Designer was quite content to scale a 3600X3600px .PNG image to more than 10000X10000px - i.e., about 3X, no warnings, no complaints, just a silent accomplice. Is that the intended behaviour? It seems the only way to avoid doing this by mistake is to manually limit scaling to the original dimensions; is that correct? I’d like to understand more about how Designer handles imported raster images; for example, does it embed the full-size original, and create scaled copies on demand, so that repeated scaling does not degrade the quality of the scaled image/s? what happens to image quality if I inadvertently place an image so that its aspect ratio differs from the source, and then “fix” that using Transform?

Staff Lee D Posted July 23, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 23, 2019 Designer doesn't give any warnings when resizing Placed images, this is expected behaviour. When Placing images, the original image data is retained, so if an image was resized incorrectly, it can be corrected later. Unless it's been rasterised after resizing, as this will resample the image at its current size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
