Outline FX treating opaque bitmap and partially transparent

[NCOLEAMY]

Hi there again,

    I'm having a little trouble with something else I'm hoping I can get some help with.  I'm using a bitmap as a fill for a style that I put together.  I can't seem to get the outline from the FX panel to cooperate properly. The outline seems to be treating the bitmap as a semi-transparent background. I've double and triple checked it. It has no transparency or gaps that need to be filled in. Any ideas?

 

Oh, and, ... I plan to make this available, once it's properly finished, (as well as a few other styles and resources that I've created during the process of learning Affinity designer and in general, vector creations,) available for download on the Forum.

Hi @NCOLEAMY,

Sorry to see you're having trouble!

This isn't something I've seen previously, are you able to provide a sample document that shows this, so that I can investigate further?

Many thanks in advance

Sure!

Some pixels of the text's bitmap fill definitely do have slight transparency, as can be seen in the video below:

Thanks. Sorry for learning curve. Once I thought of it as Raster, and not part of a Vector composition, I realized it was just anti-aliasing. I dropped it into Photo and Merged it with a black background.
