Affinity photo Merge Visable Pixelation

[Chris Monty]

Hello Legands,

New to using Affinity Photo and have run into an issue when trying to Merge Visible layers of vector images. When i perform this action Affinity Photo seems to automatically convert the image to pixels and cause the image to become pixelated. Is this a known issue and is there a fix to prevent this from happening. I use affinity for screen printing designs so pixelation is not my friend.

Thanks for any help/ advice.

It would help to have screenshots of what you're seeing, and possibly a sample .afphoto document (before the merge).

But yes, as far as I know, Merging will give you pixel results, not vector results.

A merge will convert anything to a Pixel Layer in Affinity Photo - what's the end goal here? Perhaps there's another solution we can provide.
