Why is my copy not pasting cleanly all the time?


Recommended Posts

I created a font for a calendar I'm making to be printed on fabric. Because I want to be able to easily change the color and have it very clean I used the pixel tool. the pictures are zoomed way in, the printing softens the edges a bit.

The red is the original. The second, on the darkest background, is on the calendar I'm working on and pasted nice and sharp. The third one, the lighter gray, is on another calendar template and also pasted nice and sharp. The fourth one, on the darker gray, is a new file I opened and pasted blurry. I tried several times, opening new files, adding a layer before I pasted, but every time it pastes blurry. All the files have the same settings. All are set to pixels at 30dpi.

setup your document to use pixel / px as units, and show 3 or more decimal digits.

After pasting the layer, check and correct the layer position.
Use the move tool and transform panel to check the pixel position of the pasted layer. It is probably fractional like 0.5.

Enter integer numbers for  y position (removing nonzero digits after the decimal point), this should solve the issue.

Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

My posts focus on technical aspects and leave out most of social grease like „maybe“, „in my opinion“, „I might be wrong“ etc. just add copy/paste all these softeners from this signature to make reading more comfortable for you. Otherwise I’m a fine person which respects you and everyone and wants to be respected.

I'm sorry, but I don't know what you are talking about.

I just realized I didn't say that I am using Affinity Photo 2. The attached is what I have when I am opening the new file. This is the size I use most often for my work. The original and the template I used for the other files were all created in Photo 1, but resaved in Photo 2.

I don't have any problems when I create a new file and create lettering, then copy and paste to a new file. So, it appears to be a problem between AP 1 and AP 2

This sentence can be interpreted in many ways. Like you didn’t understand what I tried to explain (my fault / badly formulated), or you do not want to follow these instructions (you are assuming a software bug and don’t want to adapt, simply want to inform about the assume bug). It would help me to understand your assumptions and intentions if you explicitly say what you are expecting now. 
 

Assuming you are interested into getting information and ultimately instructions how to solve this issue:

In Case you are using Publisher and multi-paged documents, or using margins in any of the 3 apps: this can lead to blurriness by misalignment, too.

I just typed a response, which seems to have disappeared, so I''ll try again.

I'm sorry, I guess I wasn't clear, I didn't understand what you were describing. However, I just found it and you were correct, there was a .5 in the Y integer. Problem solved. Thank you so much!!!

I apologize for being a bit dense about it.

Thank you for kind reply. Glad that the issue is solved. Happy to assist in future if you observe any issues. 
 

Many users (including me) are preoccupied by the thought issues their observe must be software bugs of Affinity apps. It helps to stay open to all possibilities and question yourself or the forum what could possibly have caused the issue (user error, UI traps, bugs in hardware, driver, operating systems, peripheral devices, or Affinity software bugs).
