Fuzzy output to Canon Pro Print Manager on Mac

DxO PhotoLab macOS topics

I am having a problem outputting images to Canon Pro Print manager.

See below the fuzzy picture was exported tiff from DXO 9- latest release, the sharp picture was prossed in DXO 9 and then imported to Affinity and exported un touched to Canon and it fine ( had to export it to Affinity to flip it over, shame you can not do that in DXO- it is a basic thing to do) , so at a loss as to what is happening here- I need to be able to output to Canon Prof Print , if I have to keep using Affinity why do I need DXO?

What are your export settings for this fuzzy image?

So you’re exporting not to 16-bit TIFF but actually to 8-bit TIFF, resized to only 100 pixels across, etc. Why would you do that?

I have always use 16bit, those settings are the last thing I tried, whatever I try it failed to export clean - even a jpeg comes out fuzzy, there is something odd with the export function - I have never had an issue with any other software, if I can not find the answer then it is back to DXO PureRaw and another application :frowning: Thx

But why would you even attempt to set the longest edge of the exported image at 100 pixels? If you’ve been doing that all along, there’s your problem.

have you tried bicubic or bicubic sharper instead of bilinear for the resizing interpolation?

Wow- how did that happen?? I never noticed that at all- apologies and many thanks

That looks much better! Glad to help.

In PL9 go to Image(top row between View and DxO modules )→ orientation→ flip horizontally. No need for Affinity :wink:

yes … with VP5 / PlugIn

Greyed out- you need to buy viewpoint, sad as this is a basic function I use a lot

Ah, didn’t realise it was one of those, should be standard. There I was thinking I was clever and could help you, sorry!

Thank you anyway.

It should be standard- such a basic thing.

Rusty, instead of faffing around saving images a TIFFs, maybe try the Export to Application and it will open directly in Affinity. I too have a Canon Pro printer but never use Canon Prof Print. I only use Permajet papers with personalised ICC profiles, so can print from Affinity or Photolab, if I wanted to. HTH
