APEGamer Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 I would like to suggest that Affinity properly scale text when an image is scaled to larger than 100%. The image below was scaled to 300%, and the text is blurry. I am working at 4K resolution, and need to scale the image up. The 'Text in' below is a 14 pt. Could you leave it at 14 pt in the final image, but behind the scenes display it at a size that keeps it from blurring when zoomed in? Adobe InDesign does this. Quote

Adobe InDesign does this. @APEGamer I guess, Serif does this intentionally since "Photo" mainly is a Pixel-Editing-Application. I doubt, its suitable to compare it to InDesign; how does Photoshop handle this? (I really don´t know..) Affinity-Publisher (which is comparable to InDesign) does show the Font the way you requested - see below. The Font-Rendering in Photo shows what the final pixel-result will look like in the end.(OK: Export to SVG or EPS is something different...). Perhaps you want a Publisher-License? its just 46,- Euro excl. taxes. kind regards Fritz fde101 and debraspicher 2 Quote

This has come up numerous times on the forum. debraspicher 1 Quote
