Hi inconoclast, i think i know what you mean I chose a new pixel layer, even rasterized it and then tried to sharpen it in unsharp mask mode. But that didn't work either. No matter what I do, what I set, nothing happens.

I hope you can see my settings on the attached files. On the photo from the Affinity Photo Help you can clearly see the effect you can achieve with the Unsarp Brush Tool. (See Sharpening E Before and After). Of course, the result is too exaggerated, but it is only intended to illustrate the efficient mode of operation of this tool. By the way, this difference cannot be overlooked even without a zoom factor of 100%. Affinity Photo 2022-06-20 18-20-04.mp4

Hello everyone, i'm using Windows and regardless of whether I have hardware acceleration enabled or disabled, it makes no difference. Also I duplicate the layer into a pixel layer and rasterize it. But even with a zoom factor of 100%, no sharpening process can be seen, neither with "Clarity" nor with "Unsharp Mask". Even a harshness of 100% has no effect. When I compare the levels at 100% zoom factor, there is not the slightest improvement in sharpness. By the way, I am also German so please excuse my not so correct mode of expression. ☹️

I'm using Affinity Photo version 1.10.5.1342 and found that the Sharpen brush tool doesn't work. Regardless of the Width, Opacity, Hardness, Clarity, or Unsharp Mask settings. The effect is zero. Sharpening the whole image with Unsharp Mask works fine, but sharpening just parts of the image with the Sharpen Brush tool definitely doesn't work. In the YouTube tutorials, you can clearly see how parts of the image are becoming sharper and sharper. But in practice the Sharpen brush tool doesn't work no matter how often you drag. I would be very glad if someone could help me to solve this problem.
