Hello,

I just recently made the switch from Adobe CC to Affinity's Apps (whew) and I'm noticing in Affinity Photo when I try and paint, the brush stoke will go slightly fuzzy/blurry (Aliased) until I stop the stroke. It does this whether I'm using the pen on the cintiq or even if i move AP back to my IMac's display and try and paint with the mouse. (i dont think this is specific to the cintiq as I see the same thing happening on my main display.) Is there a setting that I can turn off to eliminate this or is it a bug? It almost looks like every brush stroke is aliased until the stroke stops then it gets crisp? Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

 

I'm using a 2017 IMac OS 10.14.5 and a Cintiq Pro 24 with the latest drivers.

Hello gostrander,

i m having the same issue. I bought AP recently and started to test out the features and noticed that the Brush strokes look very pixilated. i played a bit in the brush settings and the only thing that made the pixelated edges a bit smoother was to reduce the hardness to 80% and spacing to 1%. But it´s still very pixelated...

I opend photoshop side by side with the same document size and DPI and the difference is very noticable. (please watch the video in fullscreen)

This pixilation before it gets sharp is really annoying and i didn´t found a setting to turn this off.

also i cant get the brush as sharp as in photoshop and thats frustrating..

 

I´m using the software in Windows 10 with a Wacom Intous Pro Tablet. All drivers are up to date. I m working on a 4k Monitor.

Hi  vdevvil,

Thank you for your input on this. I appreciate it. I think I might have figured out how to fix this problem. Under affinty photo/preferences there is a tab for performance. If you set the retina rendering to High quality (slowest) it removes that weird blurriness when laying down a brush stroke. Hope this fixes it for you too.
