AgileDesign Posted June 22, 2021 Posted June 22, 2021 Hi, I'm new to affinity suite, I have created a artwork in affinity designer, vector based. When I go to File-> Open in photo, my image gets very pixelated, I can change the DPI but this ultimately changes the canvas size. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Quote
walt.farrell Posted June 22, 2021 Posted June 22, 2021 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. First, just to clarify: your topic title says Publisher. Your post says Designer. Which are you using? Next, when you open it in Photo, what zoom level are you using to look at it? Anything over 100% will probably look pixelated, because Photo uses a pixel-based view mode for displaying, rather than the vector-based view mode that is the default in Designer (or Publisher). If you view it at 100% or smaller, it should look the same in Photo as in Designer, but you can also check in Designer by using the menu View > View Mode > Pixels.

AgileDesign Posted June 22, 2021 Author Posted June 22, 2021 Hi Walt sorry for the confusion, it's from AD to AP, but i think I might have found a way around it. If i open it in publisher and click the photo persona, I have no loss in pixel, strange? and yes, I was using a zoom over 100% to get a detail done in AP, that I couldn't in AD. Quote

At least on my Mac, it always uses the equivalent of pixel view mode, just like in AP itself & in AD using its pixel view mode option. walt.farrell 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.6 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 All 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7

As R C-R mentioned, the vector view mode option in APub is not available for its Photo Persona. – Or is this a difference between Mac / Win, @walt.farrell? To me it looks the same in APhoto + APub-Ph-Persona (here both in 400 %, yours look rather like 1,000 % ?) –> click to enlarge: Quote • MacBookPro Retina 15" | macOS 10.14.6 | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 • iPad 10.Gen. | iOS 18.5. | Affinity V2.6
