As the title says, masking something out sometimes leaves artifacting on the edge. At first, I thought it was just while editing and wouldn't show when exporting, but it does show when exporting, sadly. I've encountered this issue for a while now, and it does not seem to be exclusive to any particular version, it happens across all desktop Affinity software.

In the attached screenshot, you can see the artifacting in question. I've added a black shape behind the masked out picture so it's more visible.

Right now, to fix it I'll just rasterise the image and paint over it, or add shapes over the edges in a similar colour to the background to cover it up. Definitely not ideal and when I initially started using Affinity software, this was not an issue. If anyone has a solution, I'd love to hear it!
