Persistent Document Antialiasing

[mrocha]

I ever use antialiasing, is some way the keep this ever enabled? I don't found anything on forum about it. Has something not using actions or keyboard shortcuts?

Edit - Antialias (This is a global toggle. Use "Antialias: Default" In Layer Attributes and it will follow that global Antialias toggle)

I can also suggest always use:
View -> Pixel Mode (may be disabled if you work with vector artwork)
View -> Alignment Helpers -> Use Pixel Grid (this allow to preserve pixels when you move, transform or auto align images or vector layers)

My "Edit - Antialias" is already enabled, but any document I edit or create I need to change the document or layer Antialias setting from default to always. I'm saying about fonts antialiasing. Is possible keep it ever in "always" on document for instance? Because I only see the antialiasing effect on texts when I put in "always". Or I'm doing something wrong?

Are you sure it is aliasing that you see?
I only see that text antialias looks different when use "Default (global antialias toggle is enabled)" and "Always" mode. This happens only if Pixel Mode is turned off. Also this happens only with Text. If i convert text layer to vector layer - there is no difference between "Default" and "Always" mode. Guess this could be a bug.

it seem very much with aliasing here, and in the past I also saw which converting to vector enable the antialiasing effect, but normally I prefer change to "always" to keep possible the text edition. But was good you saw the same thing there, thanks

To me, this is a antialiasing bug, look this:

[mrocha]

But shijan your tip about "Pixel Grid" and "Pixel Mode" was really good, in Pixel Mode the global antialiasing work, thanks all the help!

[shijan]

I just checked Windows version and can't see any problem.

Check your Antialias settings in "Document" and "Layer" panels. They could overwrite each other. Normally they should be set to Default and simply controlled by global Antialiasing.

Here I'm on Win 7 32 bit

Edit - Antialias = Enabled

Document and Layer Antialias = Default

and the result is as the screenshots, except in "Pixel Mode"

[shijan]

I don't know, maybe specific bug specific in 32 bit version... If you still see a problem, provide info or screenshots about all used settings, PhotoLine version and sample PLD file, so developers could check it.

But I'm with v22.51, maybe this was fixed in the new versions, I can try update,

[shijan]

Yep, 22.51 was 1 year ago Huge amount of bugs where fixed from that time.
