Pluscuamperfecto Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Hello, I wanted to ask if the pattern of squares seen in these images is normal. I understand that the pixels are seen with zoom because it was chosen not to smooth by design, but this pattern is not pixels, the image is 2560 * 1440 and the zoom is at 112%. When you open a finished image or photo this cannot be appreciated, but when you are painting strokes the pattern is very noticeable and not very convenient.. Thank you for your attention and best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted October 16, 2020 Staff Share Posted October 16, 2020 Hello Pluscuamperfecto, Is this not the texture inside the brush? If not, can you confirm which brush you are using please?

Pluscuamperfecto Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 No, they are the basic brushes, in the hard ones it is noticeable in the edges, in the intermediate ones or soft in the gradients. It does not occur at all zoom levels, only at some (almost half). I attach the three types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron P. Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 @Pluscuamperfecto, Click on the More button to open the Brush Editing dialog. What is the spacing set to? Looking at your screenshots, the default for that Basic Brush 128 is 25%. Move the slider for Spacing to the left to decrease the spacing. Also check the shape settings. My attached screenshot shows the default for that brush. Affinity Photo 2.5..; Affinity Designer 2.5..; Affinity Publisher 2.5..; Affinity2 Beta versions.

Try comparing OpenCL compute acceleration enabled versus disabled (the switch is at bottom of Performance section of the app preferences). Relaunch the app after toggling OpenCL.

Pluscuamperfecto Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 Hello, I have tried that and it happens the same, they are even more noticeable while zooming, although then it disappears (in the cases where it disappears, in which the frames are not still there).

Staff Chris B Posted October 19, 2020 Staff Share Posted October 19, 2020 What if you change your Retina Rendering to High Quality (Slowest) and the View Quality yo Bilinear?

Pluscuamperfecto Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 Hello, I already had it set to bilinear and retina to automatic (better). I have tried setting it to high (slow) but it is exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepr Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Did this problem first appear in the beta release that you are using at this moment, or some earlier release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pluscuamperfecto Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 Hi, right now i'm using the latest version. I can't be sure if it happened in the previous one, but almost certainly it did, because those ugly edges I can remember. Only I had never realized that they were produced by the square pattern.

Pluscuamperfecto Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 In case it helps you (indicating something that you do differently than usual), I also use other image programs such as gimp, krita, paintstorm, mypaint, and others, and in none of them that problem appears. (in case you can rule out problems with the card or something like that, I don't know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted October 21, 2020 Staff Share Posted October 21, 2020 It just looks like the gradient from the brush feathering out over the pixels. I'm not sure if this is wrong? Photoshop is giving me a similar preview. PetervL 1 How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way! 1 hour ago, Chris B said: I'm not sure if this is wrong? There is something very wrong in Pluscuamperfecto's screenshots. There is a distinct 11.65 x 11.65 pixels grid pattern in the first example of a document at 112.2% zoom. Looks like poor resampling of the document to produce the zoomed view. Here is an enlargement: Chris B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Chris B Posted October 22, 2020 Staff Share Posted October 22, 2020 I see this 'grid' on Windows at 1440p but not on my Mac on a retina display. However, @Pluscuamperfecto your screenshot and video looks worse than mine, almost like it's smudged. I'm not sure if it's the compression or something else. What display scale do you have your Windows set to? How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pluscuamperfecto Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 Hi, yes, that's because I have a 2560 * 1440 screen but I have it set to 1920 * 1080 (I need it for the development of a video game). I have changed it to test and it looks better, but just because it has more pixels, the problem is still there. Chris B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted October 22, 2020 Staff Share Posted October 22, 2020 Yes I thought that might be the case. Obviously the more pixels packed into the same physical space would look better but I also see the grid on Windows. I might be mistaken but I believe anon2 is on macOS where the issue isn't present and that's why he correctly identified an issue with your screenshots. On further investigation, it looks like we might we might not be displaying enough data in each tile. I have logged this with the developers.

Pluscuamperfecto Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 ok, thanks for your attention, I just tried it in the latest version and the same thing happens. If you need me to try something else, just ask here. A greeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted October 23, 2020 Staff Share Posted October 23, 2020 This is logged for investigation with the developers. There's nothing more for you to do as you've already supplied the images/video which is appreciated. Thank you.
