How to avoid sprite bleed in a sprite atlas?

[Paul Masri-Stone]

In Affinity Designer, I am using vectors to create a sprite atlas. For each sprite I apply a mask that limits the vectors to that sprite's boundaries. However when exporting to png (or viewing as pixel / retina pixel in Designer), there is bleed between sprites.

I have attached a couple of images to indicate what I mean. I've highlighted a couple of examples where there is bleed. (NB: you can see my grid: 32 px with 8 subdivisions)

How can this be solved? e.g. is there a way for each element within the Grid to be converted to pixels independently?

Hi Paul Masri-Stone

Sorry to see this! Could you please attach a copy of your .afdesign file to the following link so I can look into this for you?

Thanks. I've uploaded the file.

Thanks for that Paul, this is due to the document being at 288 DPI. If you change the document to 300DPI, save it and reopen it you'll find the pixel view is correctly masking your curve at the rectangle bounds.

This behaviour AFAIk isn't to be expected, so I'm logging it now with our developers as a bug to be investigated further!

Awesome workaround. Thanks!
