royalcrown28 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I'm trying to sketch out my design to carry over to AD, i've got a 1080p canvas, and a 10px brush. at 300 DPI. My zoom is not the issue. Here's a side by side comparison and example of my desired behavior. Top is what i want, photoshop way zoomed in, no pixelation issues. Bottom is AP, zoomed out full canvas, with aliasing issues. both canvases are 1080p with a 10px brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R C-R Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 It looks like in the Affinity Photo screenshot you have set the Paint Brush hardness to 0%, which will produce very soft-edged anti-aliased strokes. You would get sharper looking edges if you set the hardness to 100%, but since the Paint Brush Tool paints pixels, there still will be anti-aliasing along edges that don't fully fill pixels if you zoom in far enough to see individual pixels, just like in Photoshop.

royalcrown28 Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 i want anti-aliasing. But its not working, as you can see in the picture. Like I said, its not zoomed in, you can see the full 1920X1080 canvas and the pixelation is still very prominent with a hardness of 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try 100% hardness & compare the results to see the difference.
