Straighten tool in Affinity Photo producing zigzag lines…


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I’m frequently scanning labels of vinyl records for use on my record mailorder website.

After scanning an image, the first thing I usually do in the editing process is straighten it up. Unfortunately the Straighten tool within the crop tool dialogue seems to do a very bad job at all images that contain text or straight lines. 

I've attached a sample of the same images straightened in Affinity and Photoshop.

If you zoom in, you can see that while Photoshop produces straight lines and crisp text (using the ruler tool to straighten), the Straighten tool in Affinity produces zig-zag lines and destroys the outlines of the text.

Is Photoshop just much better on this task or is there any way to improve the results with any settings?

Hi chris blank,
Welcome to the forums :)

I'd recommend checking out this post and following the settings changes provided by MEB! 

Please note -

I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible.

Many thanks!
