Changing color - but getting pixelation of edges


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I have a png file that's OK quality for the web use it's been used at. It's a signature and I wanted to change it from black to a dark blue and thought I could use Affinity Photo, but when I select the signature via Select Sampled Color and recolor it, the edges become noticeably pixelated. See attached original and the recoloured version.

Suggestions? thanks – Timber

But you could also do it the following, simple way:

  • Create a blue pixel layer below the signature layer.
  • Drag the black signature layer icon onto the blue pixel layer icon in the layers list. This will in effect use the brightness information of the signature layer as a mask information for the blue layer.

Does that work for you?  :)

Cheers, Alex
