Paulm Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hi I am using Affinity photo on a Mac If I overlap two shapes, select them both then divide the shapes to break them apart the resulting shapes have a border where they overlap. How do I rectify this Thanks Paul M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hi Paul, what do you mean by “border”? An antialiasing effect, a stroke, or a snapping candidate indicator? Could you post a screen shot? Thanks, Alex :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulm Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Hi Thanks for helping I think it is some sort antialiasing effect as it seems to follow the same pattern. strangely enough the problem goes away if you apply a stroke to the shapes first. I don't know how to attach a screen shot here? Thanks Paul M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted September 2, 2016 Staff Share Posted September 2, 2016 Hi Paulm Those "hairlines" are a side effect of how Designer/Photo (and other vector software) renders/rasterises objects with overlapping edges. Check Matt's post on this thread for more details. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulm Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Hi Adding a stroke to the shapes before dividing works. Can you see any problems using this method? Thanks Paul M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 No, you can most certainly do so, Paul, but be aware that your shapes will slightly grow in size by using a stroke of the fill colour to mask the effect. For you will have to set the stroke alignment to centre in order to make this work, in general … :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
