I'm getting blurry exports from Affinity Photo. Hoping someone can help me out.

I can take a print screen, paste it into MSPAINT, select a small section of the screen shot then go to Affinity Photo and go File-->New From Clipboard, then File-->Export, select JPEG, quality 100, then check the image and its blurry.

If i do the same process with the same copied section of the screen using GIMP the image is fine.

Ive noticed that the final exports height dimension has changes to +1 pixel. Not sure if that's has anything to do with it.

Im using Affinity v 1.7.3.481 on Windows 10

This first image is from Affinity

Why the extra step with Paint? Why not making everything with APhoto? Export with best quality and everything is looking fine ... on my side.

Hi @Rhythm,

I have also tried using the snipping tool in Windows to copy your screen of if it's the whole screen you can use the Windows key + Print Screen button and Windows will place a .png image of your screen into the folder called Screenshots in the Pictures folder and you can then just open the image in Photo

Yeah i guess i don't need the extra step of going to paint, i was just using it to crop part of the image but yeah i could do that in Affinity Photo.

Ive been playing around a bit more and it seems the picture viewer i use makes a big difference in viewing the exported screen shot. So if i open the image in Windows 10 default picture viewer "Photos", the image from Affinity is super blurry. The image from GIMP is better but still a bit blurry actually. If i re-open the image that i exported from Affinity in Affinity again it does look really clear like it should be.

So maybe its just a Windows Photos issue.....
