as someone that has used affinity daily for almost 2 years & used a Huion tablet for 3 months of those, I can assure you that the tablet is making affinity crash. Thing is even if you manually save the file every 2-3 minutes it won't save, it's so frustrating. The best advice is to not have very long lines, intricate lines & to use the line adjustments of Affinity to your favour once finished using the tablet.

okay dokay I've just sent through the doc. I rasterised the top layer, then i try to use the flood fill. That's when it usually either loads forever or stops responding

i don't follow, do i still need to make a seperate post?

yes thats my bad its a typo, it is only 5000mm I will create a seperate thread & try to tag you both or link it edit: wait a sec i think this is now it's own post, dark magic?

I've been trying to Rasterise & then Flood Fill a line drawing in Affinity Designer. The dimensions are 5000m x 5000m & the DPI is 300. Thing is that even after I rasterise the drawing (after 3-5 minutes of waiting), if I click 'Copy' let alone attempt to use the Flood Fill tool, the page stops responding. I can't even open it & do it in Affinity Photo, I've been trying a bunch of variations over the past 36 hours (this is kinda my job) & now both Affinity programs, Photo/Designer are unbelievably slow regardless of the documents I'm using & are borderline unusable. I've restarted my computer & I have re-downloaded both programs, neither has worked I have a 2017 iMac with 3.4 Ghz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB 2400 MHz DDR4 memory, Radeon Pro 570 4 GB graphics thingy if that helps, everything's updated to current MacOS Mojave 10.14.6

The problem is that it does look blurry/jittery on the phone regardless of image size at 100% scale, I'm still unsure of how to fix that. Do you have any other ideas? I don't think I understand what you're saying. I've put the unrasterised lines in different size documents on Designer & Photo, put the effects on it & then tried to export it to the highest/best quality. Are you suggesting that I should start from scratch & redo all the lines on an intended doc size, because i've already done that as well as larger sizes & it's unfortunately been unable to fix anything. Is there anything else you can suggest? Thanks for bearing with me, you guys

What would the solution to your first point be? Just make a larger document? Apologies if i seem dense, I'm still quite new to this

wouldn't you like to know... nah jks, I'm trying to make a series of Phone Wallpapers. I'm not trying to export it as a super large image, you know, it's just a phone wallpaper. I just want it to be high quality enough to not be blurry. I've tried making the document bigger (like x15) yet the blurriness & jitteriness of the lines are still very much prevalent, this size is already more than double the intended size

In Affinity Designer the View Mode is in Pixels, if that's what you mean. For Affinity Photo, I have the 3D & Glow Effect being used and when i export it, regardless of size, the glow becomes pixelated & the lines become jittery. I've tried looking at the export settings & changing them but nothing seems to be working. Is there a way to fix that?

It's something super simple that I think would be really helpful, as I'm making documents of different dimensions I'm constantly changing the dimensions. It'd be cool if we could save a dimension preset so that we could just click a pre-save rather than type it in. Not a big issue just a simple request Thanks, Matt

I saw someone say in a forum that it doesn't matter what zoom you're in, everything's a vector until it's rasterised/exported. I've had this experience in both Designer & Photo, I've exported it at a large sizes & small sizes from different files & softwares and it still exports super blurry. Is there something I can do to make it not so blurry?

This document has a 2280x5000 dimension & the zoom is +500%. The lines have been made in the same document, nothing has been rasterised, can someone please explain what i'm doing wrong as to why it's so pixelated? Thanks, Matt

thank you, that also works well

don't worry, i figured it out. I went to filters, then colours, then erase white paper. i hope this helps someone

I want to remove the white from this image, I've adjusted the Levels so the whites are completely white & blacks are completely black. I've gone to the selection tab & tried the 'Select sample colour' but i can't find a way to make it work. I've spent the last 3 hours looking at youtube tutorials, FAQ's & forums yet i have no idea what i'm doing right or wrong, please help.
