Rick G Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I don't think it was in beta 87 but every font I am using today is pixelated. I tried it in the release and am getting the same thing. I am posting it here in case it is a bug but if it is something opn my system please advise. I am using normal installed fonts sized in the 25 pt range Thanks Affinity Designer 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Affinity Photo 2.2.2075 beta 2.3.1.2212Affinity Publisher 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 OS build 22621.1928 Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aammppaa Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 The whole image looks very grainy and pixellated to me! Have you turned on Pixel View Mode by any chance? << This button on the main toolbar (shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Y on Windows).

Staff MEB Posted November 1, 2017 Staff Share Posted November 1, 2017 There's no View Modes in Affinity Photo. This seems a screen capture of the exported JPG at a high zoom level (>100%). @Rick G What's the size of you document and text?

Mark Ingram Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Are you used to looking at the text in Designer? As that's vector, it will be smooth when you zoom in. If you're in Photo, it will be pixellated when you zoom in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you create text in Photo, then zoom in, it will pixellate, but if you save the file and open it in Designer, it should be smooth.

One shouldn't have to open in Designer. I am still playing with this. If it persists I will post back here Affinity Designer 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Affinity Photo 2.2.2075 beta 2.3.1.2212Affinity Publisher 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 OS build 22621.1928 Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the first time I had seen that on 14 point type with the graphic full screen. I'll keep looking and take some screen shots if need be Affinity Designer 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Affinity Photo 2.2.2075 beta 2.3.1.2212Affinity Publisher 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 OS build 22621.1928 Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted November 2, 2017 Staff Share Posted November 2, 2017 You are placing it on a low resolution image. Perhaps you normally open higher resolution files. 14 point (14/72 of an inch) text will be more or less pixelated according to the background image resolution Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!
