Jagged Lines (with Pixel Brush) in Affinity Photo iPad (v2.4)

Update: I've tried drawing circles with my finger, rather than with the Apple Pencil 2, and the problem remains the same. This most likely rules out that the problem stems from the Apple Pencil 2.

I've found this other post by @ZufDraw , which seems to be similar with the long-standing brush-issue I've encountered on the iPad. Thanks anyway for trying to help! Hopefully anybody of the team (@stokerg?) might come with a reply soon?

Thanks for the elaborate answer. I've tried an 1920x1080px document and a basic non-pressure round brush with various spacing, flow and accumulation percentages and none gave a difference. All failed at 300DPI. None of the settings you mentioned were turned on (smoothing, snapping, stabilizer, wet edges, assistant). Drawing at an incredibly slow speed does seem to work, no straight edges there, but drawing that slowly is not workable. I've mentioned this previously, but 75DPI at higher resolution document sizes also give those straight lines, though not as bad as 1920x1080px @300DPI. So still unworkable I'm afraid. And indeed, very strange that I get better results at 1200DPI than at 300DPI with same document dimensions. Doesn't make much sense!

I don't think the iPad Pro 12.9 is so underpowered that it can't handle a small basic brush in a 1920-1080px @300DPI document. That doesn't feel right. Especially if it does better at a higher DPI such as 1200DPI. Remaining storage is definitely not a problem as I have a 1TB iPad with about 700GB remaining. I've tried 2723x2048px @264DPI. It's not as bad as 1920x1080px @300DPI, but there is definitely some small straight lines occuring (indicated with thin red lines).

In the settings of the app I can read it's version 2.4.2.2371. Not sure if this is a beta version? I had this problem occuring in any version though. Where can I find this autoclose section?

I can see no such settings for Apple Pencil in iPad's settings. After having removed the Affinity Photo app and reinstalled it, resetting the settings, I did found something out. It seems to be related to the document's DPI. I tried a 1080x1920px document at various DPI: - At 75DPI it works as intended, it gives an enjoyable drawing experience - At 144DPI some small straight lines start to appear when drawing - At 300DPI (at which I work the most) it seems to be the worst - At 600DPI I get some noticeable straight lines but not as bas as at 300DPI - At 1200DPI I got a better drawing experience than previous DPI's, though not as great as at 75DPI I can't work at 75DPI though as that is too low and 1200DPI gives too large file sizes. Update: I also tried a very large document at 75DPI and then I got the same experience as at 300DPI described above.

Yes, it seems to be only at the beginning of a new stroke, especially when changing the direction quickly after having started putting down the stroke.

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately adjusting the brush spacing did not make any difference.

Here you go. I've also added a screen recording of doing the same thing in Affinity Designer (Pixel), as the same problem occurs there. Brush used is a round brush in the Basic Brush list. RPReplay_Final1714585664.mov RPReplay_Final1714585781.mov

I had this problem since I first bought Affinity Photo iPad (V1, then V2). I had hoped this problem was solved when I read that V2 had an improved brush engine, but alas the problem persits. When I draw circles with a basic pixel brush (or any pixel brush really), I get these straight lines (see screenshot below). No matter how I alter the app's settings or brush settings, the problem remains. It makes it total unusable for me to draw in Affinity Photo. Anyone knows how I can solve this problem? Related info: - I use an Ipad Pro 12.9 (2020) - I use the official Apple Pencil 2 - Updated to latest Affinity Photo V2.4 (problem arose in any version though) - This problem only occurs within Affinity. No problems with Procreate, Clip Studio, etc - Problem is unrelated to zoom levels or brush width, I get it at any zoom level and with any brush width

@NathanC Any update on this?
