  1. Interesting. This is a very useful article. In conclusion, I would say that if you align everything pixel-perfect, then export it 3x as PNG and then reduce it to the required size - you get excellent quality. The only problem is that not everyone is familiar with this procedure. It also takes some time and work.
  2. So pixel exact alignment of typography (X/Y) is not a problem. However, if the typography is in points, it cannot be scaled with pixel accuracy. Therefore, these settings (B/H), which are described here as optimal, cannot be realized in practice.
  3. Just to be clear, I think Affinity Designer and Affinity Publisher are excellent apps. I really enjoy working with them. The only thing that bothers me is the export quality — as mentioned, it could be better. I should also mention that the price-performance ratio with Affinity is excellent. I own all three apps. I think the export quality in Affinity Designer suffers from lower ppi. PPI stands for Pixels Per Inch, and on smartphones, it refers to the pixel density – how many pixels are packed into one inch of the screen. The higher the PPI, the sharper and clearer the screen looks, because the pixels are smaller and more tightly packed. What applies to smartphones should also apply to the export of images.
  4. For me, all these theoretical explanations are irrelevant in practical work. In my opinion, Adobe Illustrator exports a much better, smoother, and sharper image in terms of typography compared to Affinity Designer. All the discussions about pixels and such are meaningless to me as a user because there is no setting that allows for exporting the same quality as Adobe Illustrator. On top of that, in Affinity Designer 2.6.2, the exported images appear blurry. How to fix this issue is still completely unclear to me.
  5. I read your comments with interest. In practice, changing to "Pixels 6" does not result in any improvement in display quality. In fact, this represents a change to Affinity’s default settings. Moreover, I do not work with pixels, but rather with millimeters—and with points when it comes to typography. I read your comments with interest.

  6. Here is an example that I exported from Affinity Publisher 2.6.2 with PNG standard settings Bilinear. This is an Affinity example. The contours of the letters have been exported uncleanly. This is the problem that I have been addressing here in the forum for years. In my opinion, the export quality could be significantly cleaner.
  7. I can agree with that. The question is, what exactly is the solution? When I open an image with typography, the image looks blurred. This only affects images and not vector graphics.
  8. Hi @Chris B Have the system requirements been changed for Affinity 2.6? My PC fully meets the system requirements listed here: https://affinity.serif.com/de/photo/full-feature-list/

  10. Have the system requirements been changed for Affinity 2.6? Working in Affinity Designer doesn't feel as fluid. Especially when you move objects. I have Windows 11.
  11. Hello @Chris B, I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the ML models. Unfortunately, when I reinstall ML models, it crashes again. This happens after clicking on Object Selection Tool. I am using Windows 11 latest version. Select subject -> Affinity Photo 2.6 also crashes immediately!
  12. After I install the machine learning tool and try to use it, Affinity Photo 2.6 crashes immediately. Working is not possible! An absolute disaster!
  13. It was due to RGB/16. I converted to RGB/8 and the size of the file is now significantly smaller. The file has no snapshots.
  14. I have tried this, the file size has remained the same.
  15. I am editing a photo in Affinity Photo 2.5. This image exported as a JPG in top quality has just 10 MB. As an Affinity Photo file, however, the image has 207 MB. How can I reduce the .afphoto file size without reducing the resolution or image size?
