Jace Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I just downloaded the new update from the AppStore. When I opened the document(s) I have been working on, they are now pixelated. Any idea why that would be? I restored version 1.4 and my document looked fine again. Re-downloaded 1.4.1 and it pixelated again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signguy Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Make sure that none of these are selected at the top of your screen. My guess is that you have pixel view mode turned on inadvertently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokusai Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I think Signguy is right, another way to check is to go to "View" menu (at the top of the screen) and then down to "View mode" and make sure that it is set to "Vector" and not to Pixels or Pixels (Retina).

Jace Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'm sorry I must be an idiot. I don't see the 3 icons at the top of my screen, nor do I see a "View mode" under "View". I'm sorry for the stupid questions, but I just started using Affinity and I'm still trying to figure things out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Attached is an example. The screenshot on the left was taken using 1.4, the one on the right was taken with 1.4.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Depa Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Hello, You can't see "Vector and not to Pixels or Pixels (Retina)" because they are in Designer and you run on Photo ... Try to reset the app pressing the ctrl key at launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evtonic3 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I ran into this as well. Sort of. I was in new MAS Designer and then I ported the file to open in new MAS Photo and was surprised to see that it was pixelated. I searched and finally I went to doc setting in Photo and I noticed that if I resized the doc to 200 dpi or higher (was 144) it became clear. Not sure if your problem is somehow related to mine.

Jace Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 I didn't know there was two different software - photo and designer. So I guess I need to buy designer? I'm not editing photos, I am just creating graphics for iPhone/ipad apps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 20, 2016 Staff Share Posted January 20, 2016 Hi Jace, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Affinity Designer is more adequate to illustration/graphic design/UI design. There's a trial available on our site if you want to give it a try. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Evtonic3. That fixed it. Mine was set to 190, I changed it to 300 and it's now it now longer pixelated. I don't understand why it's that way in 1.4.1 and not 1.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
