Creating pixel art

[Davina R]

Hi, I'm new here.

Before I start to purchase something from Serif Affinity, I was wondering if Affinity Photo has a pixel grid upon an extreme zoom (something like 900% or more). I'm way behind with the software available, as I have PhotoPlus X7 and I haven't got anything at all from Affinity 😕 Unless Affinity Designer can do something similar.

I'm more used to doing small to large scale pixel art, than doing actual pictures.

Thankyou.

Hello @Davina R, and welcome to the forums.

Not sure what you mean by a 'Pixel Grid'. You can zoom in as much as you like in any of the apps. As you do so, you will see the individual pixels. Is that what you want? Youcan also create a grid to overlie you image, of any interval to suit.

Yes, thats what I'm after. I'm more likely to use a single pixel brush tool for my artwork that I plan to do.

Then APhoto should suit your needs.

Ok, thanks 🙂

I may start with the trial version before purchasing it.

Affinity has a pixel tool and you can create a pixel grid in the grid and axis manager. then zoom in and create your pixel masterpiece.
