Mikey05 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Why is it that when I create a new image brush in Photo it appears to be blurred? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 maybe you are using a file that is of a small resolution, so if you used a file that was 32px and the brush was 64px the resulting brush would look soft pixelated.

Mikey05 Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 Thanks for the reply and the brushes. It seems that the images are sharp at the larger sizes but when reducing them to a size that I want they become a lot less sharp, as the attachment shows.

firstdefence Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Try viewing them at 100% they should look a bit better but the less pixels size you use the less space there is to resolve the image so they are going to look a bit pixelated/soft/blurry, it's like trying to fit two tins of peaches into one tin, it's going to get mushy When dealing with pixels (raster elements) there is always going to be an issue with pixelation, the only way round this is to use vector files/brushes which Affinity Photo can't do, even Affinity Designer, a vector app cannot do vector brushes yet, why! I have no idea. Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...
