Affinity Photo: Pen tool 1px stroke width

[petersirka]

Hello,

Is possible to set a real 1px of stroke width with no antialiasing?

 

Thank you!

Try placing the line at 10.5 in the Y axis, for example.

Best regards!

Hi petersirka,

Welcome to Affinity Forums

Yes, if you enable the (automatic) grid (menu View ▸ Show Grid) and Snapping (menu View ▸ Snapping Manager - make sure Snap to grid is enabled) Affinity will snap to half pixels letting you position the 1px lines perfectly aligned with the pixel grid (no antialiasing). You will need to zoom in considerably to see the grid as a 1x1px grid.

 

Seems recent changes here (OpenGL and Metal renderers) have made this more difficult to work with. It's necessary to zoom in way more than previously to display a 1x1px grid. I'm logging these issues.

The logic behind that can be seen in the attachement.
