The grid is actually working in Affinity Photo, the automatic grid is different from Designer and Publisher in that the automatic grid is a PIXEL grid, so zoom in 1500%. Change to basic to set a larger grid. MartinCS 1 Quote My dad always told me, a bad workman always blames their tools…. Just waiting for Ronny Pickering…..

In V1 it automatically changed depending on zoom level so it was always visible if enabled. In V2 it is 'stuck' on a 1x1 px grid so unless you zoom in far enough to see individual pixels it is simply hidden since otherwise it would cover the entire document. IOW, I think it is a bug or at least a poor design decision.

Staff Dan C Posted November 7, 2023 Staff Share Posted November 7, 2023 I'm happy to confirm that the latest beta version, Affinity Photo 2.3.0.2114 has made the following improvements: The default behaviour of View > Show Grid has been returned to match Affinity Photo V1's behaviour - meaning the 'Automatic' Grid will be applied, which changes the frequency of grid subdivisions as you zoom in/zoom out. A new separate Pixel Grid option is available in all Affinity apps, under View > Show Pixel Grid. You can find out more about this feature here . If you wish to test these changes, you can sign up for our beta program using the information below: Many thanks for your feedback here, as it helps us to continue to improve the Affinity Suite R C-R, Paul Mudditt and MartinCS 2 1 Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!
