njakeman Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 When I use Affinity to straighten images I usually end up with a jagged broken line. I've taken to straightening with Capture NX which seems to do a better job. Is there a setting that might be affecting this option? See attachments...

Staff MEB Posted February 11, 2016 Staff Share Posted February 11, 2016 Hi njakeman, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Go to Affinity Preferences, Performance section and set the View Quality dropdown to Bilinear (Best Quality). This will affect the quality of the render on screen. If exporting the file choose a diferent Resample algoritm (Bicubic or Lanczos offer better results - this depends a little on the type of the image too).

Staff DWright Posted February 11, 2016 Staff Share Posted February 11, 2016 Hi njakeman, Also the higher the DPI setting on the image the smoother the anti-aliasing will appear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the default on my iMac, or at least I have never changed it & that is what it is set to.

anon1 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 The default settings depend on the spec of your Mac. I think on dual core (which are MacBooks expect the 15inch ones) the view quality is set to nearest neighbor and on quad cores it´s bilinear.

R C-R Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 It makes sense that the default depends on the specs of the Mac. My guess is the specs of the graphics card is involved, maybe even more so than the CPU?
