danberlyoung Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I want to place some very small bitmaps (32x32 pixels for example) in Publisher and scale them up to a reasonable size (2" for instance). When I do though, Publisher uses a blurring effect which I'm sure is great for low resolution photos but not so great for 32x32 icons. How can I turn this effect off?

Old Bruce Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Use an integer scale factor, plus make certain that the pixels are pixel aligned, change the Units of Measurement to Pixels and check in the transform panel that the x and y co-ordinates are integers (enter actual integers to be certain). Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | 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...
danberlyoung Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 I found a solution. I was placing the image as a .afphoto document. When I exported it to a .png or a .jpg and then placed it again, it displayed hard edged. .PSD, .EPS, .PDF and .afphoto documents all display blurry. ashf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
