I’ve been using Krita for over 2 years now but only recently upgraded due to the release of Krita 5.0 (I think I used to be on 4.3)! However, I’ve noticed a bug that has only started occurring since updating and I can’t find any answers to how I can stop it happening.
Whilst I’m working, my canvas likes to go fuzzy; making it really hard to see my details. But, when I interact with it (e.g. Create a new brush stroke in the area or transforming the layer) the fuzziness goes away. It doesn’t harm the quality of the finished art but it is really annoying to have to pause what I’m doing just to clear away the blurriness.
Again it’s not something that ruins my art or anything, it’s just pretty annoying to have to keep fixing it. Maybe there’s an option that helps preventing this? Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!
The problem is reproducible (on my side) like this:
– create a big document (A4 @ 600dpi here)
– zoom to fit
– draw some abstract thing with b) basic-5 brush for example
– select move tool
– start to move
– zoom in:
– select another layer/go back to current layer
– start to move: result Ok
Here’s 2 videos
With high quality filtering (similar with trilinear filtering)
with bilinear filtering
The problem with bilinear filtering is for zoom value less than 100%, quality is not good (slightly aliased…)
@Artichao if you use bilinear filtering, does the problem on your side is still here?
Just want to state first: Looking at your videos your issue seems to be different to mine. My fuzziness would occur no matter what tool I was using, but yours was specifically whilst the object was still selected with the Move tool. It makes sense to me why yours was fuzzy; because the object hadn’t been placed yet and so selecting another layer releases that object (thus, placing it). I just wanted to state that the videos don’t show the same issue so, your answer might not work!

However, I’ve switched to Bilinear Filtering nonetheless and it seems to fix my issue so far? I will get back to you after some more messing around in Krita - either to say it doesn’t work, or it does. Whatever the outcome is, I appreciate the help!

EDIT: Alright yeah, this actually DOES work!! Different equation, same answer type situation here. I flipped back and forth between Bilinear and High-Quality Filtering and, whilst the random fuzziness appeared with HQ filtering, it disappeared with Bilinear! Thanks for the help @Grum999!
But from my point of view, the origin of problem is the same: there’s a problem with tiles refresh according to scaling mode used.
And the fact you don’t have anymore problem with bilinear filtering seems to confirm it
No, the move tool literally moves pixels, without any transformation (not like the transform tools)
That’s an operation for which pixels are not “modified”, so moving + zoom shouldn’t result with fuzzy/blurry pixels
You can see in second video -with bilinear filter mode- that moving + zoom, everything is fine, and that’s what I’m expecting with trilinear and/or high quality filtering
In Krita 4 the problem is not here so it might be a regression from Krita 5.
I have to check alpha/beta version to determinate from which version the problem started.
