Ralph Johann Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 While working with Affinity Phto V2 I'm running in one problem after the other. While grid worked in V1 it doesn't in V2. Show grid has no effect... Any thoughts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 There is a grid, it is automatically set to one pixel. It means you must zoom to several hundred % before it will show up. Or you can choose to use your own grid.

Ralph Johann Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 Thanx Bruce but I don't get it ?!? Usually when I check "show grid" Affinity Photo showes a grid all over my photo with horizontal and vertical lines. I think you are talking about the grid that shows single pixels or is it the same grid you are talking about. If yes where can I change the setting of 1 pixel to another value. Here's the same picture with grid in AP V1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Automatic grid in Photo 2 is a 1px grid. You will need to choose a different grid, such as Basic, from View > Grid and Axis...

Ralph Johann Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 Thanx guys, got it ! I didn't know that I have to put in own values in "grid and achses". In V1 the grid was shown automatically without changing any settings before. Great forum by the way, very helpful people, short answering times 🙂 I will probably be back soon with some more questions. BTW : is there any chance to change between actual preview and "original" (before/after) for example in the layer unsharp mask to compare the actual sharpness with the original ? That would be very helpful in many layer settings. The only way I found is changing the opacity back and forth from 0 to 100 which i a pain. Other Topic I know but maybe you can help.

Next time maybe a bit more detailed would be fantastic. Thanx for helping me out 👍 Old Bruce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to put in any values. Just choose Basic rather than the default of Automatic, and you'll get a grid. You only need to adjust values if you don't like the grid that you get from the Basic grid's defaults Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in Automatic mode and didn't show any grid, so I had to chage to manual. Is there any way to choose values that show for example the third lines which would be great for the composition of the photos ? If I write values in pixels the grid is different on any different picture size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
