Mclimax Posted November 21, 2021 Posted November 21, 2021 Hello together I'm running Affinity Photo 1.10.4.1198 on a Windows 10 PC. Most of the time I'm using TIF files due to export from LR. Sometimes I had the problem that my background layer (which I always kept clean with ctrl + J in the beginning) was blurred/unsharp in my final TIF files. It seemed to be random. But today I found out that if I press 0 (accidentially instead of ctrl + 0), the BG layer was blurred after. There was nothing visible in protocols/history that I activated some kind of filter or something similar. Even with UNDO it won't get back to sharp again. I've also tried to save the file before hitting 0 and then closing without saving. Same result. Next time I've opened the file, the BG layer was unsharp. Anyone else had this issue? Quote

Pressing 0 would set the Opacity of the currently selected layer to 100%. Help: https://affinity.help/photo/en-US.lproj/pages/Layers/layerOpacity.html So the question might be, what layer was active when you changed its Opacity. But something should have shown in the History.

Staff Lee D Posted November 22, 2021 Staff Posted November 22, 2021 @Mclimax I can't replicate a blur on the background layer by just pressing 0, as @walt.farrell confirms, it will change the opacity of the selected layer. If you can do a screen recording of this happening that also shows keystrokes and upload here I can do some more testing. Quote
Mclimax Posted November 23, 2021 Author Posted November 23, 2021 Yeah guys, I'm sorry... It was the wrong track. It's really weird. Today I opened a picture which had a blurred bg-layer and worked on the post processing layers for around an hour. At the end I've double-checked the bg layer and it was sharp again. I've to keep an eye on it. Maybe it's just some visualisation fault. Quote
Mclimax Posted November 26, 2021 Author Posted November 26, 2021 Ok, it looks like I'm very close to find it. It's still a little random when it appears, but it has to do with the performance/quality settings. It seems that since the latest update the rendering setting "bilinear" causes problems on my system. Switching bilinear to nearest neighbour makes it sharper. But by far not as sharp and clear as it used to be in the past. I've already installed the latest version of my graphic card drivers and it didn't change. Any other ideas how to solve it? Quote
