Rob W Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 When a pixel layer is included in a group the drawing on the screen is glitchy (see attached screen capture). Steps in screen capture: Drawing with a simple brush on a pixel layer included in a group (glitchy) Undo drawing and move pixel layer out of group Draw in pixel layer outside group (OK) Undo and move pixel layer into group Drawing is glitchy.

walt.farrell Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 There are known issues with brushwork on pixel layers inside vector layers, and I think being in a group might count. At any rate, your video seems to have the same behavior as reported elsewhere, since V1 and still unfixed. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/search/&tags=AFD-5473 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...
Rob W Posted January 11, 2023 Author Share Posted January 11, 2023 Thanks for the insight, Walt. I'd never encountered it before. It seems quite the limitation on using groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I am a bit surprised that being in a group would cause it, myself, but your symptoms seem to match what I've seen in the other reports. If you were to Ungroup the pixel layer and that resolved it, that would confirm it's the same issue, I think.

Rob W Posted January 11, 2023 Author Share Posted January 11, 2023 The problem originally surfaced on my iMac Pro (intel) but it also happens on my MacBook Pro with M1 Pro chip. It seems to occur if (all?) the pixel layers in the group have transparency. From limited testing, if I draw onto a pixel layer within a group (glitchy), then move it out of the group (now with some non-transparent pixels), then move it back into the group it draws just fine. (Only tested on my laptop.) I think this might explain why I've not encountered it before—previously I would group layers I'd already drawn but in my attempt to be more organised, I've begun to group layers before drawing on them. So much for being organised! walt.farrell and Chris B 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
