Actually...it seems a bit hit and miss. So far all the images I've tried to edit have a white layer behind but everything except the 'artwork' is transparant. Sometimes the marquee leaves a razorblade straight line (when filling in with white), sometimes it's jagged...

By Jobe you've done it! I don't know how I hadn't considered filling it in rather than erasing the informtion. You're all legends!

No, they don't. It might be my mind playing tricks on me but they look like they lessen with Rasterise, but still jagged.

Good evening, Thank you for that response. I tried checking the Antialias box then deleting with marquee and it did the same even at 0 feathering. I also checked the view quality and it is already on Bilinear! I'm starting to think it's my MacBook but it's only about 3 years old...

Sure. I've attached the image that I'm editing. Largely the problem can be solved with cropped on another document and copying over to the document I'm using to compile them on, but sometimes as you can see on the football image, it isn't always squared off...

That's right...I'm using the marquee tool to select unwanted areas of images (borders where there's just white space) because the 'white space' when scanning an image in which is smaller than A5 leaves me with a greyish background from the colour of the scanner ceiling. The marquee tool (when I had Photoshop previously) would ensure that regardless of the orientation of the image, it would leave me with straight edges wherever I removed information. I've tried with and without a feather effect, but not sure what the halftone setting is you mentioned?

Hi Dan, Does this screenshot help?

Yep. So they're scans of collages and on Photoshop I would previously use the Marquee tool to remove any unwanted white space, so that there would eventually be a square collage with straight edges on an A5 page. However when I'm trying this on Affinity it's leaving a jagged edge. I think that makes sense...

Afternoon all, This may have been covered before but I'm absolutely furious with AP and at my last nerve. I'm using the marquee tool to straighten out and delete areas in artwork I'm editing but it is leaving it really jagged. I've attached a photo to show what I mean. Is anyone else having the same issue? Does anyone have a better method or solution other than using the eraser again and again and again? Thanks in advance Adam
