Hello. I work with batches on Photo AI, I put a range of pictures where I apply upscaling parameters, but the DPI settings does not change for all the photos, and when I go to another one to set it manually, the first I put with 300 DPI came back to 72. So I give up to make batches and go to do it one by one, but I can’t save only one photo and save all the batch, which is not set as I want …
Steps to reproduce issue:
Step 1 : Upload 2 or + photos on Photo AI
Step 2 : Set parameters of upscaling etc. Choose another DPI preset than default (72DPI)
Step 3 : On the filmstrip, take the options of the upscaled photo and select “apply current setting to all”
I have the same issue, I need to enlarge a group of images but the 300dpi parameter only works on the current image and not on all of them. Could you please add the DPI setting to the Autopilot settings in the general preferences? Thank you.
I am an illustrator and I work with images at 300 DPI for printing purposes. If I insert a 72 DPI A4 photo into a 300 DPI A4 document, the image will appear much smaller. That’s why I need to resize it to 300 DPI. So far, I’ve been using Gigapixel to resize batches of images to 300 DPI and then transferring them to Photo AI.
Recently, there was an update to Photo AI that allowed for direct resizing to 300 DPI. Therefore, I’m wondering if it’s possible to enhance Photo AI to manage the DPI option, which already exists, and apply it to all uploaded images. Currently, Photo AI only permits resizing to 300 DPI for a single uploaded image.
If you consider 300 DPI unnecessary in Photo AI, then why was the option added in the first place?
No it doesn’t - the size of your image is determined by the pixels per inch (PPI) output by your printer. The QUALITY of that output is determined by the dots per inch (DPI) set on your printer i.e. low DPI for draft quality, high DPI for fine quality (or whatever the terminology used by your printer is).
I need to work and draw/paint on resized images to the size of an A4 sheet and then print them. If Photo AI produces an image at 3000 x 3000 pixels at 72dpi, and I place it on an A4 sheet at 300DPI in Photoshop, it will be much smaller than the sheet.
To work, draw, and paint on this A4 sheet in Photoshop with the inserted image, what should I do?
Should I take the PhotoAI image at 72dpi, bring it into Photoshop, and then resize it to 300 DPI there before working on it?
It would be more convenient for me if this work is done directly by PhotoAI.
So, I don’t understand why you’ve added the 300dpi option on Gigapixel for all the processed images, and on PhotoAI for just one image. At this point, if they’re not needed, you can remove the option.
No it won’t. The PPI/DPI will be ignored and your 3000 x 3000 document will not fit into the A4 document. Here I created a portrait format A4 document in white @300 ppi and placed onto it a 3000 x 3000 black square @ 72 ppi. The black square is wider than the A4 sheet and doesn’t completely fit in to the base document:
That’s not really helpful - they admit at the start that the correct term is PPI and then go on to perpetuate the DPI myth. They’ve known since the launch of Affinity that DPI is incorrect but they stubbornly refuse to change it.
It seems there are two separate discussions happening.
To address the point of the original post, Apply Settings to All currently does not copy the PPI from one image to all other images. Thus, one image has the correct resolution for printing but all other images do not. This is a bug and I made a task for my team to fix this.
We will also be creating an Autopilot preference setting for PPI/PPCM so that all images processed in Topaz Photo AI could be set to the same resolution. That is coming later.
Let me know if you have further questions or discussion about this.
As for the other matter, are you saying that working on an image at 72dpi or 300dpi with the same resolution is the same thing?
If I upload an image generated by PhotoAI at 72dpi to any online print-on-demand service, it gets rejected as the image needs to be at 300dpi. I have to resize it using Photoshop to bring it up to 300dpi before I can upload it to the website. This is just one example of the issue with 300dpi images.
Printers still have dots and DPI. Monitors have pixels, yes but nothing to do with the PPI of your image - that is also used only for printing. When you display an image on a screen it’s displayed at the resolution of the screen which neither knows nor cares what you’ve set as the PPI in the image. There’s spi as well.
Not sure why you’re aiming that at me - I’m not the one having a problem with printing.
Hello guys. For the beta testers, thanks for all your explanation.
Let me clarify my request. I don’t want to be convinced that a metadata is a metadata, I wan’t to have a simple parameter included with the others to make batches, because for my services and customers 300 DPI is a standard. I will not make something else. I just don’t want to multiply by ten my work time and explain to my stubborn customers ( as I am ) what DPIs are !
We are releasing a new version of Topaz Photo AI this Thursday which will have a global resolution control.
It will be accessible through the Preferences > Autopilot > Upscaling menu. Let me know if that is working well for your needs after the release on Thursday.
It works but not totally. When I do "apply current settings to all " it’s ok, in the software, but once I save pictures there is one in 300 DPI and the others at 72 …
I am interested in purchasing however I wanted to see if there was a way to set the px/in to 300 as shown in your screenshot. I am currently using the demo version and when I tried to follow your steps I don’t see the same options from your screenshot. Is this because i’m on the demo version?
) what DPIs are !
