ragged edges on edited quickshape

[Sunset]

I have been playing around with a rectangle in the Affinity Photo Beta (whilst listening to TV), I converted to curves and somehow or other ended up with a dog with his paws on a gate and howling at the eclipse of the moon. But it's not as smooth as I would have expected. 

 

Attached is the object exported as a png in isolation from the rest of the page. Is it just because the object at 100% is smaller than I realised on the laptop monitor so it only pixelated when enlarged?

Of course it is ! If you enlarge pixels, the pixels becomes bigger ! :)

 

You can display a pixel image smaller than it's real size, but never bigger. User a vector application like Affinity Designer to avoid this issue.

I realised afterwards that it was just using the wrong app, I shall have to export the rest of the page into designer and start again on the dog, I'm used to working with a different program where this doesn't happen.
