No smooth rendering of masks. Circle mask with stroke in it.

macOS 10.14.1

Hi ajharok,

I've just tried a quick test file myself and it looks fine - would you be able to attach a copy of your AFDesign file please?

Thanks!

[ajharok]

Sure.

Hi ajharok,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Go to Affinity Designer Preferences, Performance section and tick Use precise clipping. This is not a bug.

MEB thank you for the info. Now it's ok

[ajharok]

In AD 1.6.1 i don't have this selected and the mask borders look ok. In 1.7 i have to select this.

What is the difference for different rendering in 1.6.1 and 1.7?

[MEB]

Are you sure you are comparing the exact same document in both versions of the app? That setting only applies/affects clipped objects (which is what you have done in the attached file above), not masked objects. I can't open the attached file in Designer v1.6.1 (on Mac) - seems you have saved it in v 1.7.0.3. There shouldn't be any differences regarding this on both versions of Designer.

In addition to what MEB says, it only affects objects that have their Stroke set to Align: Inner - this did occur in both 1.6 and 1.7 for me.

[ajharok]

Ok, I see. In 1.6.1 if the stroke is set to Align Inner i have the same not smoth edge if the Use precise clipping is not selected.

Everything ok and clear now

 

Tnx
