Despite having 'Force pixle alignment' activated, normal paste does not always align with the pixel grid. Same for Special Paste 'Portable Document Format' and 'Serif Persona Node' Special paste 'PNG and 'Device Independent Bitmap' seems to always align. To reproduce: - Create a document - Check that 'Force pixel aligment' is active - Draw a sharp figure in a new pixel layer. - Press CTRL-C to copy. - Zoom into a small region of the canvas - Press CTRL-V to paste The resulting figure now appears blurry for me, but can be alligned correctly if I move it with 'Move by whole pixels' is deactivated. Please see the attached clip. When 'Force pixle alignment' is activated I expect the result of pasting to always be aligned. I believe this is why some users in the forums complain about image deteriation while copying and pasting. It is quite hard to fygure out why your image deteriating because of this and how to avoid it. I am using Affinity Photo 1.10.4.1198, win10 and this happens regardless if I use hardware acceleration or not. Thanks! bugBlurryPaste.mkv

I am encountering a weird bug when trying to cut-and-paste pixel-aligned rectangular regions from one image to another in Affinity Photo 1.8.3. This bug seems to be present in at least all 1.8.x versions that I had, so it is not specific to 1.8.3. Whether it goes back further than the 1.8 branch is anyone's guess. If I open two images, one completely blank (literally nothing, so rgba all 0) and the other an RGB image with no alpha, then use the rectangle select tool to select a rectangular region in the RGB image, CTRL-C to copy, switch to the blank image, then CTRL-V to paste, I get weird partial alpha at the edges of the selection in the paste. These appear to be because of sub-pixel alignment, but I copied a pixel-aligned region and pasted pixel-aligned as well... and in fact, I have the "whole pixel" alignment enabled the whole time, so it shouldn't be possible for me to be off-pixel alignment unless I'm misunderstanding the intended behavior of that feature. If I then turn off whole pixel alignment and slide the pasted region slowly, I can manage to get it back into alignment and the partial transparency resolves itself mostly (although it still may be slightly wrong). What is going on here? Is this some sort of bug with whole-pixel alignment that nobody noticed? Or am I doing something weird? Thanks, - Casey
