Joachim_L Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Maybe my fault, but the result of the Filter Unsharp Mask is not the same you see in the preview of the filter after a resample crop. 1. I cropped the image a bit (resample). Additional question: Why do we have no option for the resample methode like Bicubic, Bilinear, Nearest Neighbor etc.? 2. I opened Filter Unsharp Mask and preview was showing what I wanted. 3. After hitting "Apply" the result had nothing in common with the preview. unsharpmask.mp4 Quote ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowday Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 @Joachim_L It is another usability issue. You have best quality (bilinear) selected in preferences, performance. What you see before unsharp mask and after is probably correct. Photo toggles away from best quality (bilinear) to Nearest neighbour while the unsharp mask options are on screen. So you are sharpening with one performance setting and working with another. What you see is totally different. So which one is the most accurate. Best quality looks like what I see in Photoshop. Besides a usability issue it is a totally useless implementation. I reported this - and Serif couldn't reproduce it!! - a long time ago before I shelfed photo for anything but adding effects to drawings from Designer.

Joachim_L Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 When I change my preference from "Bilinear" to "Nearest Neighbour", preview and result are also different.

Besides you and me I did not notice any other posts about it. Ever. And sharpening is key in photo processing. I noticed this bummer immediately the first time I tried using unsharp mask in Affinity Photo.

The Crop Tool in the current app never actually resamples objects. Its "resample" mode can change the pixel density of the document in addition to resizing the canvas, but Pixel objects get non-destructively scaled rather than resampled.

The preview of a filter being applied to a non-destructively scaled Pixel object (see my previous paragraph) is misleading.
