Laganama Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Hi, I have placed a picture in AfPub and after switching to AfPhoto, pixels of the image are not aligned in Y axis.

loukash Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) 5 hours ago, Laganama said: pixels of the image are not aligned in Y axis One of the Affinity's worst "features" (as it's apparently "by design" and not a bug) is that depending on your settings in Preferences > User Interface > Decimal Places, the values in the Transform panel (and elsewhere) will be rounded up or down to display an integer, even though there may be decimal values hidden. To work around this "feature", I have set my decimal places preferences in all Affinity apps like this: Since all I need are px, pt, degrees and mm, those are set to 6 decimal places, so that no value that is not an integer will go uncaught. (Mostly.) This setting may cause some minor annoyances elsewhere, but one has to set priorities, right? So… I suspect that your image is not precisely aligned to the pixel grid even though the Transport panel claims so. Also, there is a Pixel preview directly in the Publisher persona: View > View Mode > Split View Edited April 9, 2021 by loukash Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Ventura > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 16 > Affinity v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laganama Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 I'm not sure loukash. I've got multi site document and in such document the top left corner of the page is always x0y0 by default. I also verified this by manualy dragging the zero point to the site corner and then manualy set the position of the image to x0y0.

loukash Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 That's all I could replicate. You'd have to upload a sample document with the image embedded, so that we could have a look at it.

thomaso Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 It looks like a different rendering method in the Photo persona, and not influenced by the Pixel Alignment setting. As if the image gets blended with itself when moving. screen view APub & APhpers.m4v Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laganama Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 I've (probably) found the cause of this issue. If you try to reproduce it just only on the first page of your document, everything will look fine. But the more down you move the page, the bigger the probleme is visible. Maybe the probleme is that the gap between individual pages is not pixel-perfect. By me it is not exactly 170 px, but little more. If the pixel grid is common for entire column of pages, than the result is some kind of interference between the rendering pixel grid and image pixel grid. All my pages are exactly 1080 x 1080 px in size.

Laganama Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 When I changed units of the document to mm, the gap looks to have exactly 30 mm. When working in pixels, it remains the same size but than it is not an rounded value. Therefore the wrong rendering outcome.
