Alternatively, I can offer another solution that has also helped me to avoid these ugly cuts. I go to the menu "Anti-aliasing:" as described above and select [Force Off]. Then I enlarge the image by the multiple DPI value and rasterise it by selecting "Rasterise...". Then I reduce it to the desired size and rasterise it again. visible lines between objects.mp4 -

Unfortunately, I am not familiar with Lenovo. But before any more BIOS tricks are done, I would still try with Windows on-board tools. See here: -

Focus Merge crashes when using Nvidia graphics card
ChristAlix replied to sapstar's topic in Photo Bugs found on Windows
This NVIDIA setting is only for "PhysX" and this processor interface language only works with special 3D / CAD / Finite Elements or scientific programs. You cannot set "Acceleration" of Affinity here. In addition, Affinity Photo works with OpenCL interface. If you disable the Intel GPU in the BIOS, don't worry, your laptop screen or external monitor will continue to work. There is an "electronic switching" to the video outputs automatically inside the laptop. Have the guts, it'll work out!! -

To be on the safe side, simply switch off the integrated graphics card in your BIOS settings, this worked well for my colleague. -

It doesn't matter to Affinity Photo or Dersigner whether they have one or even five graphics cards. You select the "Preferences" menu in Affinity and choose the graphics card that should be responsible for " rendering" the displayed graphics in the Affinity Photo application window. Please have a look at the "Affinity Photo Help" under "Preferences". -

He has already mentioned this above, or does he mean "In Nvidia control panel" in the system control?1 [ In Nvidia control panel, I changed my primary graphics card from Nvidia to the integrated Intel GPU. After this change, focus merge works. How can I resolve this problem. I have attached the Affinity Photo crash reports here.] -

How did you uninstall the drivers, with Nvidia deinstaller or in Windows Safe Mode with DDU? -

Hello sapstar, try this DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) (https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html). The tool has already saved me and many others a lot of headaches! See forum post: -

Hello Greg Wo, it's a known problem, it occurs when smoothing (anti-aliasing) between the exact cut edges. There is some workaround for the problem and that is to click on the "Blend Ranges" (gear icon next to the lock icon) in the "Layers panel", a menu called "Blend Options" will appear. In the pulldown menu "Anti-aliasing:" Select [Force Off] and the edges of the cut will close. But beware, there will be strong / ugly stepping effects at the deliberately visible edges. See the example below. 2021-03-01-18-12-19.mp4 -
I have already noticed this solution, but it was not available "like this" until now. It seems to be related to the "refresh rate" of the editing window, or it only refreshes when you zoom in and out or switch between documents. In addition, the visual artefacts only occur with artboards. No artefacts occur in the normal document, but the bugs of contour tool and expand stroke get worse.
