Subtract Operation leaves a fine line pls help


Recommended Posts

Your X, Y, W, X values in the Transform panel are not whole pixels for the 2 curve layers in the compound

Manually changing all 8 values (4 for each curve) to whole pixels should resolve the problem.

If you are only seeing whole pixels in your transform panel go into preferences and set the number of decimal places shown to 6.

When designing there are ways to ensure you only use whole pixels but how best to do that is best left to someone else that does this sort of work all the time, which I do not.

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

Hi @ashaapple & welcome to the forums. :)

Since you said you are new to Affinity Designer, you may want to consider experimenting with a different approach than using a compound for the book, one that will avoid both the fine line & also any empty transparent areas that would reveal part of any objects placed behind it, that being the same nesting approach you used for the lines in the table.

Of course, it depends on what you want the book to look like where the pages & cover end on the right, but you can add nodes to the parent layer to do that:
