why are these objects semi-transparent?

[newandconfused]

I have these lines created from the pen tool. The opacity is set to 100%, the opacity on the stroke color is 100%. I'm guessing it's user error somewhere... what am I missing?

[RM f/g]

I think some lines have transparency.

With multiple lines selected, Designer shows the opacity of the bottom layer.

Have you checked the lines separately?

If you are using Designer then I would say you should check the Appearance pane because the stroke can have a blend mode applied from there which will not show in the Layers pane.

Also check for Layer FX from the Layers panel. You can change the opacity of a layer there without any UI notification if you adjust the Fill Opacity but don't select any effects.

Nope, not user error. This is just how it is.

You've got a very thin line and you're in Photo (correct? 😉🧐), so pixel based.
You will get the same thing in pixel view mode in Designer...... regardless of being pixel perfect in either app.
If you want a true solid line, beef up the width (then, of course being pixel perfect does come into play).

The easiest solution (imo) would be to work in pixels. Give the stroke 1 px width and position it on .5 px on the grid.
A 2 px line can sit right on the whole # grid.

Thank you for all the quick responses!

I did check all the lines and there was no transparency set on any. 

@JimmyJack was right, increasing the stroke width made the line solid. 

Thanks again all. I appreciate the help.

I seem to have a similar problem ... 

I have a shape, the fill opacity is set to 100%. The layer is set to Normal and 100%. And yet the shape is at 50% opacity. 

 

(I know it's at 50% because I set the base shape to 50% when I was tracing a leaf)

Any way to fix this?

Hi @Nakos,
Welcome to affinity Forums
Can you attach the file to be inspected please? I can provide an upload link if you wish to keep the file private - just let me know.

[NotMyFault]

We can find the answer in 1/100th of normal time (from guessing based on screenshots)  if you could upload the actual file.

Here's the file: 

 

I did actually find a workaround for my problem. I changed the Style to something else, and then manually reset it to what I wanted. But it was still an usual problem I'd never seen before.

there is something odd with your file. Despite both layer opacity and fill color opacity at 100%, the channels panel (in Photo) shows "composite alpha 50%".

Maybe something caused by using styles, setting a opacity level of the 3rd level.

 

Layer FX, Fill Opacity is set to 50%.

To rectify, set it back to 100%

[Nakos]

Ahh, I figured it had to be something I'd managed to screw up.

Thank you for taking the time to figure it out for me!

Just read the posts in the thread in which you post your question.

That is not a workaround, it is the solution. The problem was a 50% fill opacity set for the layer in the FX panel, the solution is to set the opacity to 100%.
