swobyman777 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 My brush strokes & brushes in Affinity Designer/Photo always have ragged/pixelated/AA-artifacts no matter the resolution of the document. I have made sure I am using the Brush tool and not the pixel brush tool. The same problem consists whether I toggle Windows Ink on/off in either the Wacom settings or Photo/Designer settings.

Jowday Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 The smaller the width of the brush, the worse the antialias... I think. Below 80 pixels it begins to look like your examles: 36 pixels vs 400 used: Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."

The software continued to disappoint and not deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted April 27, 2020 Staff Share Posted April 27, 2020 Hi swobyman777, Could you attach a copy of the document shown in your screenshot please? I would also check Preferences > Performance and ensure you're using Bilinear (not Nearest Neighbour) in View > Quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen Death Knight Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 @swobyman777 @Sean PI can explain what's going on here. It's something I noticed years ago when picking up Affinity Photo. It's all related to brush hardness. Compared to Photoshop, Affinity has much sharper brushes with next to no anti-aliasing when reaching 100%. However, you can get the brushes to look a bit more like regular Photoshop brushes by changing brush hardness to 99%. It produces a slight blur on super massive brushes, but nothing that would be super noticeable in most projects. In the vast majority of cases the brush will have that anti-alias look. Here's a video demonstration. Desktop 2020.08.09 - 19.17.28.03.mp4 FryZeit and swobyman777 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear it was useful! To me it's one of those "Is it a bug or a feature?" type of deals. In some cases it's super useful to have super sharp brushes, in other times not so much. ^-^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
