Pixel precision in Designer


Lojza

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I recently did some pixel-precise designs and I have some comments/suggestions regarding pixel alignment / pixel moving behavior in Affinity Designer.

 

If Force Pixel Alignment = ON
1) Vertical and horizontal distribution should preserve x, y  placement "to whole pixels".

If Force Pixel Alignment = OFF
and Move By Whole Pixels = ON (which combination is currently not possible)
2) Nudging should add/subtract 1 pixel, no matter, what the coordinate is (e.g. x: 567,8 -> x: 568,8).
3) Same principle should also apply for changing shape's dimensions.

If Force Pixel Alignment = ON
and Move By Whole Pixels = ON
4) Nudging should round to nearest whole pixel value (e.g. x: 567,8 -> x: 568) and then continue adding/subtracting whole pixels.
5) Same principle should also apply for changing shape's dimensions.

 

I would like to hear from others, whether such behavior makes sense. Maybe I'm just using the tools wrong way or missing some idea behind those switches...

 

Thanks.
