awakenedbyowls Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I'm playing around with effects trying to draw a UFO and I discovered this interested effect just by blowing up the size of the Pixel Layer such that the Pixels are really big - problem is when I Export the File to .jpg the software appears to Blur it thus ruining the effect Is there a possible workaround for this that allows me to maintain the blocky pixel effect ?

GarryP Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 If you have Photo, the Pixelate Filter should do the job, but it has a permanent effect on the layer you apply it to (no Live version yet). awakenedbyowls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - that does the job - cheers 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 You’re welcome. Not sure why you were getting a blurry export though; maybe someone else can explain that (possibly something to do with resampling). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awakenedbyowls Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 I expanded a pixel layer so that the pixels were the size of stamps - I guess when you resize a pixel layer slightly it will resample so that it maintains the pixelation of the document and in this instance the pixels happened to be massive Don't have an issue with that but I would have thought it would have maintained the cubic form rather than going all out blurry ?

You will have larger pixels, and (if I remember correctly) you will have to worry about anti-aliasing and also alignmeant with the document pixel grid and also resampling back to the document DPI since the resizing of the pixel layer will have changed its DPI. awakenedbyowls and GarryP 1 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.
