It has already been created https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/201751-can-affinity-add-a-feature-like-photoshop-that-changes-text-rendering-anti-aliasing-to-none/

Unfortunately, after comparison, I found that Affinity is one of the few software that cannot display properly, which is very bad. @Dan CSorry buddy, I need @ you. I hope to use Affinity to truly replace Photoshop. Although Affinity currently does not have any AI tools like Photoshop, that is not necessary, but the display issue is very serious.

Can affinity add a feature like Photoshop that changes text rendering antialiasing to "none"? In PS, there are at least 5 rendering modes available for text selection, which are very useful, especially None. I didn't find this feature in affinity, where can I find it? In None mode, the text is displayed as shown in the following image. his is what it looks like in Affinity,when turning antialiasing off (same file)，It looks ugly and can no longer be read: Here are the files and fonts, which have been bothering me for many years. I have been buying V1 to V2, but the PS cannot be thrown away, which is a big reason. SIMLI.TTF test.psd

Does this mean Affinity has issues with its core design?

Sorry, the previous testing of GIMP was not rigorous enough. I tested it again and after removing the anti aliasing, the results were consistent with PS. This also excited me. I have a new solution to replace PS. It's great, buddy.

It's like this, after testing, GIMP's performance is also not good in this situation.

Maybe GIMP It's a good choice, I plan to give it a try.

Chinese font "隶书"

Unfortunately, this is not just antialiasing，This is what it looks like in PS： This is what it looks like in Affinity,when turning antialiasing off (same file)，It looks ugly and can no longer be read:

I hope any font can be pixelated, but currently it doesn't work, fortunately there is still Photosea available.

In PS or photopea, there are at least 5 rendering modes available for text selection, which are very useful, especially None. I didn't find this feature in affinity, where can I find it?

Perhaps I should.

I think PUBLISHER's internal Photoshop mode already has all the functions except for plugins, exports, and development roles. Most of the time, there is no need to open Affinity Photo separately. I think this should also be the correct usage of Affinity's three in one workflow.

I understand what you mean, but your operation process is too cumbersome. Firstly, I hope to avoid opening Photoshop unless necessary, and only use PUBLISHER; Secondly, if I want to edit an image in PUBLISHER and do the same as you, I need to first create a file, select file size, place an image, and switch to Photos, which requires at least 4 steps. However, if I can directly paste an image in Photos mode to create a new file, then I only need to switch to Photos - paste to create a file, which only requires 2 steps. This operation saves at least half of the workload.

I uploaded a video where I created a new file in photo mode. In this case, I definitely want to edit it in photo, but it always switches to publisher. Not only does it create a new file, when I close the file in photo mode, it also switches to publisher. Also, why can't I create a new file through the clipboard in publisher mode? 1711506406984.mp4

A problem that has been bothering me for years is that when I paste images and create new files in publisher's photo or designer mode, it automatically switches to publisher mode. How can I keep them in photo or designer mode? It's very unfriendly, and I have to manually switch back every time.

Good news, my Win11 has been updated again and the cursor issue has been resolved. It's a system issue. I would like to ask a question by the way. When I paste an image in publisher's photo mode to create a new file, it automatically switches to publisher mode. How can I keep it in photo? I have to manually switch back to photo every time, which is very unfriendly.

Selection Tool cursor issue

Me too, in this situation, the software is no longer in a usable state and can only be switched back to PS.

Ironically, the free Photopea can open PSD formats very well, and even directly edit PSD smart objects, which Affinity cannot achieve.

I tried it but it not work well, the feature is different from PS , for example, the feature will causes loss of hair detail.

I don't know why I can't find any relevant posts in my search

By the way, I don't know why there is absolutely no discussion about AI in the Affinity community, it's strange, like isolation from the world.
