Nevyn907 Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Hi Folks, I am a real newbie to Affinity so forgive my ignorance. I have created a background in which I have created a text frame. Using Londrina Solid Font I have typed into the box. I seem to have an outline on my text, how do I remove that outline effect? GAUBackground2.afphoto Quote
Staff MEB Posted March 15, 2019 Staff Posted March 15, 2019 Hi Nevyn907, Welcome to Affinity Forums What's the colour of the outline? If it's purple it indicates the object is a snapping candidate. To turn this off go to menu View ▸ Snapping Manager... and set the Candidates dropdown to anything other than Candidate List. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
Nevyn907 Posted March 15, 2019 Author Posted March 15, 2019 its the same colour as the text black GAUBackground2.afphoto Quote
Staff MEB Posted March 15, 2019 Staff Posted March 15, 2019 Can you please post a screenshot/screen-capture of what you are seeing on your screen? I'm not seeing any outline here. Thanks. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
Nevyn907 Posted March 15, 2019 Author Posted March 15, 2019 the edges of the text appear blurry Quote

Staff MEB Posted March 15, 2019 Staff Posted March 15, 2019 Hi Nevyn907, That's not an outline but the antialiasing smoothing the edges of the letters/shapes. Affinity Photo rasterises the view for screen so vector objects will appear pixelated the more you zoom in, similar to what other photo editing apps do. If you open the exact same file in Designer (in case you have it) the letters (and other vector objects) will be rendered/recalculated as vector objects (nor rasterised for screen) and the lines/edges will look sharp. @gdenby, Affinity Photo doesn't have View Modes as Designer.

Staff MEB Posted March 15, 2019 Staff Posted March 15, 2019 Note that there's a related setting to control the antialiasing on vector objects (select an object, click the cog icon in the Layers panel, Coverage Map button in the top left) which does let you "remove" it but I don't think that's what you really want here.

Are we any closer to having it on iPad, too?
