Tobi1002 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Hi, i've today first witnessed probably a when zooming the canvas deep. If I zoom at 400%, then scroll out to 357% and move the canvas to all sides, it sometimes happens to appear that the pixels flicker in their size, when I move things around. It seems like they are not fully fitted to the Pixel grid. I've recorded the effect: https://youtu.be/vHxMXSzCZn4 I can't tell an universal way to reconstruate this case, sometimes it happens immediately, other times it takes some scrolling to show the effect. It does not happen at even zoom levels (like 100 or 200%) and also not at every uneven one.

MJW Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Try disabling Hardware Acceleration in the Settings menu, and see if the problem goes away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobi1002 Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Sadly not. The effect still appears. I did restart paint.net after changing the settings.

If it were due, for instance, to your having an outdated GPU, you'd probably just be stuck with either living with it or going without hardware acceleration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Rick Brewster Posted March 29, 2022 Solution Share Posted March 29, 2022 This is a rendering artifact that happens sometimes at non-integral zoom levels. (non-integral meaning not a multiple of 100%, e.g. 100%, 200%, 300%, etc.) Nothing's wrong with your system or configuration. I looked into this awhile ago and I'm not sure it's possible to fix, but mostly it's just not a high priority right now. So the workaround is to set your zoom level to the nearest integral zoom level. Usually pressing Ctrl + (zoom in) or Ctrl - (zoom out) will accomplish this. 1 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobi1002 Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 Thank you for the reply and explanation. My GPU is a RTX 2070 and I was a bit worried whether its has anything to do with possible GPU problems. But thankfully it's what it seemed to be and i can understand that has only low priority as it is only a cosmetical thing!
