I'm facing a very weird behaviour. When using the stamp tool, the copy is not a perfect duplicate of my source, but a blurry version which is changing every pixel when I move my mouse. Does anyone has xeperiment such a thing ? To be precise, I have opacity, flow, hardness at 100%, no blend mode, no dynamic brush, nothing that alter the brush.

Unless you have Force Pixel Alignment on this will happen (you may need to turn off Move by Whole Pixels), what is happening is you are taking one pixel and placing it over two or most likely four pixels.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.0 | Affinity Photo 2.4.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.0 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

This is a small example but an excellent example of the many, many usability issues and usability rookie mistakes in most of all Photo, @Andy Somerfield 🙂

The context toolbar is a mess of options left to right while this illogical option that can totally wreck or heal the clone feature is placed on the toolbar - that could be hidden by the user. But no one would see the link between the issue and pixel alignment. You have to ask in a forum. That is more like Linux than professional software.

This was reported in 2016 - four long years ago. It would have been better to have done it right from the beginning. Customers are paying the price year after year. 

I assume Affinity is developed by excellent, educated and motivated developers often specialized in what they do - full time. I have to repeat my suggestion that Serif hires a specialized, educated and motivated designer (UX) with responsibility for the interface across the entire Affinity line. It is simply their job in 2020.

  • Computer-, operating system- and software agnostic; I am a result oriented professional. Look for a fanboy somewhere else.

  • Not an Affinity user og forum user anymore. The software continued to disappoint and not deliver.
