PixelSnader Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 When drawing a 45° angle, the program (understandably) tries to anti-alias. It doesn't matter if I put the vertices on whole pixels or half pixels or somewhere else, each pixel will always end up part white, part black, and thus end up as a grey pixel. However, I'd like to have some lines be aliased, because it keeps a crisper image, like the edited versions on the right. Is there a way to achieve this in Affinity Designer? Aside from manually making the stairstepping for every pixel, of course. I know it's a relatively small issue, but given my background in pixel art, I tend to notice these small things ;) As a sidenote, notice how the grid in the editor doesn't adhere to the grid (despite my zoom level being exactly 800%) - is this a bug, only an issue on my device, or a setting somewhere?

Staff MEB Posted June 26, 2017 Staff Share Posted June 26, 2017 Hi PixelSnader, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Select the object you want to aliased, go to the Layer's panel select the small gear icon on the top right of the panel, then click the Coverage Map button a set the graphic like on the attached screen. You can do this for more than object at once. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
