MPIsLow Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hi, I want to ask if this is expected behavior or not. 1) Draw circle with an inward stroke 2) Draw a line so it will intersect circle and make this line going from thin to thick in stroke settings 3) Put line into the circle layer, so it will mask it 4) Watch where stroke intersects with circle, harsh pixels there. Mask did not mask everything. It seems worst if you make objects white and bg black, much more obvious. I will include examples to be more clear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aammppaa Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Not seeing the same issue on the Windows Desktop version. Perhaps attach the original file?

Are you sure there are these settings in Ipad version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aammppaa Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 No - I am afraid I only have the desktop version, so the setting may not be present. However when I loaded your file I saw the jagged edges that you reported, and then noticed that Precise Clipping (which I usually have enabled) was disabled in your file. Turning it on, the jaggies disappeared. Hopefully someone else using the iPad version can chip in with an answer.

MPIsLow Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 @Aammppaa Can you upload my file after changing this setting, please? Just want to test if this option will work on Ipad even though there is no toggle for the user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aammppaa Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 On reflection I think that the Precise Clipping setting is not stored in the file, but is an application wide setting. I think that I recently did a reset to Designer which returned the setting to off (which is the default). Still, I may be wrong, so here is the file resaved with Precise Clipping On… SimpleOne (Precise Clipping On).afdesign MPIsLow 1 Quote Win10 Home x64 | AMD Ryzen 7 2700X @ 3.7GHz | 48 GB RAM | 1TB SSD | nVidia GTX 1660 | Wacom Intuos Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Affinity team, If there is already a code for great clipping in the desktop version, it's probably portable enough to bring it to the Ipad version, too. I understand that there are concerns about performance on a tablet, but this should be on for at least exporting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Dan C Posted September 21, 2018 Staff Share Posted September 21, 2018 Hi @MPIsLow Thanks for bringing this to our attention it's an issue that we're aware of and our devs have been informed, I'll update their log with this thread. The desktop setting Use Precise Clipping does solve this render issue, but it's not currently available on the iPad. @DM1 I've noticed that when zoomed in it's much less prevalent, if you zoom out do you see the aforementioned issue?

DM1 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 @Dan C If I zoom out it is hard to tell, but I zoomed out, took a screen shot and then zoomed back in on the screen shot (if that makes sense). The jaggies were a little more evident then as shown below. MPIsLow and Dan C 1 1 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

MPIsLow Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 @DM1 You're right, I forgot to mention it's much more visible with lower resolution. If you export at 512x512px I'm pretty sure you will get the same results as me in the first post. Thanks for trying it out! @Dan C Glad to hear it, thanks! Can't wait for a fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPIsLow Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 @Dan C Any news on this? I recently tried latest Designer version again and was surprised this was still not implemented. PS Funny thing, my other big issue with export to cloud didn't get fixed either. Basically, I got Designer to never use it for 1.5+ months.

Staff Dan C Posted October 31, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 31, 2018 Unfortunately we've got no eta for when precise clipping may be implemented into the iPad version of Affinity Designer, my apologies.

cheese6626 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Can I bump this thread to ask for an update on when precise clipping might be implemented on iPad? It is 2 years later now and the issues are still prevalent. I am experiencing the issue as a very thin "halo" between the clipping mask and background.

Staff Dan C Posted July 13, 2020 Staff Share Posted July 13, 2020 Hi @cheese6626, Welcome to the forums Unfortunately this option is yet to be added to our iPad software and unfortunately our developers have provided no timescale updates regarding this recently, my apologies.
