Paint Bucket tool leaves jagged edges


Recommended Posts

Whenever I use the paint bucket to fill in an area of color it leaves a jagged edge. Anyone else having this issue? Any fixes?

  1. I use the paintbrush tool to create an a closed outline of color
  2. I use the paint bucket tool to fill that uncolored area inside
  3. Jagged edges between the area created by the paintbrush and the area filled by the paint bucket appear

On MacOS 14.5 running Affinity Photo 2.5.3 (though this has been an issue on every version since 1)

It would help my workflow tremendously to have a fix for this. I've tried it with hardware acceleration on and off, and with antialias on and off

Apologies for posting in two areas. Realized I was replying to a Windows bug thread when I'm on a Mac

It happens; not a big deal.

The earlier one was actually a stand-alone Question that you seem to have started (unless a moderator split it from someone else's topic), so wasn't really tagged as Windows or macOS specifically.
