RainerH Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Hello, with grid settings I have this problem: Whenever I open a photo in AP, the grid is set as shown in the picture »Grid settings 1.jpg«. Every time I want to add a perspective live filter to an image, I have to open the grid settings to set the configuration like in the picture "Grid settings 2.jpg" to see the grid. Otherwise I have to zoom in a lot until the automatic grid ist shown. The I loose the overview to adjust the perspective live filter. Is there a way to make the settings shown in "Grid settings 2.jpg" image the default for all images? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron P. Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 No, sorry there's not. The default as you discovered is the Pixel grid.

altae Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Yeah but that's a completely different behavior than in Affinity Photo 1 where the default grid is actually usable. I still think it's rather a bug than a feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think it's rather a bug than a feature. It seems that way, but it's not, it's by design. Serif changed it for the V2 apps. The default is a pixel grid, and about the only way to see it, zoom waaaay in, ~800%. Quote Affinity Photo 2.4..; Affinity Designer 2.4..; Affinity Publisher 2.4..; Affinity2 Beta versions.

altae Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 In this case the "bug" is the fact that the default grid cannot be changed by the user. For example I need a grid to determine if certain lines in my photos are straight. I have no use for a tiny pixel grid that can only be seen at ridiculous zoom levels 😉 Serif should really reconsider and at least give us the option to set the default grid size to something more useful.

Ashcat Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Please bring back the grid in V2 for iPad as it was in V1. Now I switch to V1, make the lines/object I need, save it in the Cloud as psd and insert the file into my project in V2. A long way to go…… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
