I can't draw in Affinity Photo normaly

[Dmitry_Pogorelov]

Hello Affinity team!
Here is the video that shows how to brush (any brush) drawing in my Affinity Photo (last version)
Windows 11, Radeon RX 580...I don’t understand why this happens and as soon as I finish drawing, the drawing immediately becomes blurry and then again in high resolution

Regards,
Dmitry

Hi @Dmitry_Pogorelov,

Could you click Edit>Preferences>Performance and post a screenshot of this window?

Hi @stokerg
Yep,
but I tried different options…

In addition to this, I noticed that this is happening on the monitor Viewsonic VP2768-4K, while on a second monitor (not 4K) the brushes work fine.

But, again - on a 4k (VP2768-4K) monitor, Photoshop has no problems!

I had this happen to me too. What I realized was the renderer was switching between performance mode and quality mode as I was drawing.

Under "Retina Rendering" you have "best" selected, this means the program will use a low quality render when you are actively drawing and then switch to a high quality one when you are not actively drawing. If you select "High quality" it will stop doing this.

Phew… - It works!😃
Thank you @SunnyFluffles! 

"- Ok, Affinity Photo, what other surprises?
I'm still looking for a chance to switch from Photoshop to you…
So far I see that this program definitely needs better quality brushes ..
Ouch…
Where is Path Menu? How to replace the usual work algorithm with Photoshop … Again a surprise)))"
