tudor Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I did my own testing using Designer, CorelDraw 2020, Illustrator and Sketch, all on macOS. If I really had to nitpick at something, I'd say that the Illustrator export is the jaggiest one. Sketch the best one. I think the forum software resamples the images, but here they are: Corel: Designer: Illustrator: Sketch: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each of those apps seems to have its own antialiasing algorithm, with tiny little differences between them that no ordinary human will notice or care about.

tudor Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Okay, I did find something a little bit more obvious. In the drawing below there's a while ellipse on top of a black circle. The shape segment inside the red circle could definitely be smoother.

Designer1 Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 Even the free Inkscape does significantly better, smoother PNG export than Affinity Designer. It really bothers me that the smoothing in Affinity Designer is just bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
