somewhereinusa Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I have this drawing that I am as a background and it is set to 30% opacity. I have another drawing on top of that layer. When I view at different zoom levels there is an area in the lower area that seems to be less opaque and the area changes. Note the area under truck and just behind the cab, in a square, is darker. At a different zoom the area changes to the area of the frame above the bed of the truck. At any zoom level if I uncheck the truck layer the dark area disappears. If I export to jpg it doesn't show up. If I print directly from the afdesign file it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Could just be a redraw problem with the hardware. I don't know of any easy fix. You could try turning off Hardware acceleration in the preferences. somewhereinusa 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.2 Affinity Designer 2.3.1 | Affinity Photo 2.3.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.3.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted December 16, 2021 Staff Share Posted December 16, 2021 Hi somewhereinusa, As Old Bruce mentioned this is likely a redraw issue. To test this you could go into the apps preferences and under performance you can set the view quality to Nearest Neighbour you should find the issue doesn't happen as often with this setting but the canvas may be being drawn at a slightly lower quality. Thanks C somewhereinusa and Old Bruce 2 Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somewhereinusa Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 Thanks Callum and Old Bruce. I don't have a new enough system for hardware acceleration and changing to nearest neighbor had no effect. It isn't a BIG deal, just annoying.
