Display discrepancy between Designer and Photo

[Sarge]

Hi there,

I have a question and I am hoping to put this together well for you to understand my point because I'm not sure how to explain it.

I used both Af. Designer and Af. Photo interchangeably to draw and I have come to notice there is some display discrepancy between two applications. It doesn't affect when I export my projects, but it affects me when I'm working on them. When I draw in pixel persona on Af. Designer, it displays the lines very smoothly (see the first attached screenshot); however when I open the exact same file on Af. Photo, it looks a bit pixelated (see the second attached screenshot). Again, this doesn't affect the result of projects when I export, but it's makes me hard to imagine how they will turn out when I'm drawing on Af. Photo... I wonder if there's a setting to display them less pixelated on Af. Photo.

I hope my question makes sense.

Designer uses, by default, a Vector view mode (View > View Mode > Vector) but gives you the option of using a Pixel view mode, or a split mode (Pixel and Vector).

Photo has only the Pixel view mode. Thus, at any zoom larger than 100% you may see pixellation simply because of the display technology used, even for vector objects.

walt.farrell, 

Thank you so much for your response!! That makes sense now!! I know there're Pixel view mode, Retina pixel view mode, and Outline mode, but didn't know what they were either, now it all makes sense! Thank you again!
