Oh my goodness thank youuuuu! Its been so frustrating when I draw something and need to rotate it but it gets super blurry! I'm looking forward to testing this out!
Great tip Tatyana. Bicubic and bilinear were algorithms created in the early 90’s to deal with pixel aliasing on rasterised images that you described here so perfectly. In most high end apps, anti-aliasing algorithms are applied automatically but in Procreate you have to turn them on, as you advised. Bilinear is great for images that have a lot of straight edges, although the algorithm uses a linear approach to eradicating them. Bicubic handles all other artefacts and is based on a 3rd dimension within the algorithm. At least that’s what my Professor told me years ago. As always, great video, great tip and a happy smile sweetie. ❤️❤️❤️
God bless you! I’ve noticed that something was up with my words on my art and I didn’t know what to do without destroying the art. Thank you so much for this!
I already kniwed this option but thank you for sharing. I think this is something everybody should know. You know what would be cool? If procreate would Bring out an update to allow users to draw in vector
came here searching for a way to avoid banding issues, didn't get an answer since the video wasn't about it, but instead learnt another life saver! i have to resize and rotate so often, even final images because there's just things I happen to notice in the final stages of the drawing that would just look better smaller/bigger/softly rotated etc. - i grew so tired of redrawing the lines, i will use this from now on and while I wasn't searching for it, it's at the very least a very welcomed advice!
Glad to be of help, even if it's on a different topic. 😄 I almost always use 'monoline' brush, or something similar, so I haven't had to deal with banding much. Hope you find a solution for it! And yeah, that blurriness after transform drove me crazy before learning about this setting, and I was redrawing lines too. 😆
Awesome!! 🔥 I felt the same when I first learned about this feature. 🙈 The later iPad models seem to handle line sharpness even better! Cheers to more creating and using this amazing tool.
I have been struggling so much lately with the blurry lines (and everything I resized) that I was doing things in different sizes when trying to combine them. Yo do not know (or maybe you do since you went through this too) the headaches and frustrations you have saved me thanks to this!!! THANK YOU!!!
YESSSS! Same here. I used to avoid even rotating things, cause they went blurry. So happy to hear that this solved the issue for you too. And thank you for the comment! ❤️
@@tatyanadeniz yeah it was horrible. Every time I moved or resized something, I had to re-do the lines! I had looked everywhere with no luck, but your video saved me!
Thanks so much Tatyana for this great tip. I also noticed the same thing happening any time I "copied" a layer - the lines of the copy or "inserted image" would be fuzzy. But they're less so when choosing the bilinear/bicubic interpolation. thanks!
Oh good! It was really frustrating when it was happening... I watched a Procreate class at that time, and the teacher was scaling/rotating stuff at will. 😆 And I thought, "Doesn't he KNOW it makes it blurry?!!" But then I learned about this feature, and it makes sense now, haha. I just upgraded my iPad to 12.9 pro, and it seems to handle scaling VERY well. 😊
Great idea, thank you! I do have a video on working with color in Procreate. :) Not exactly what your request is, but might still be useful: th-cam.com/video/0FVJVQ71TGQ/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much. I have been trying to do this but could not figure out how. I looked online and could not find anything on it either until I saw your video. Thank you again.
Hey, Tatyana. I'm having this problem even with Bicubic or Bilinear mode, it's better than Nearest Neighbor, but still a very bad result when I scale down by a lot.... I'm so frustrated, I've working on a Children's Book, doing the drawings separately using the biggest canvas possible, and yet, when put them all together, scaling it down, Procreate does a terrible job and the only solution I have now is paint every edge again in this smaller canvas ... I can't believe I'll have this whole amount of extra job, I realized it when I am already with almost the whole book done...
Something I do to avoid scaling down in Procreate is to export to my computer and use either Photoshop or Affinity Photo at a larger canvas size than my iPad allows and then move everything around as needed. I hope it works out for you!
Hey Lee, so cool that you are diving into Procreate! Making circles in Procreate is SUPER easy. :) Draw a line that somewhat resembles a circle and hold the pencils on the canvas. It will active "quick shape" feature. Keep holding the pencil on the canvas and put your finger on it - this will turn the auto-completed oval into a circle. :) You can see thins in action in this video: th-cam.com/video/jmwkst8Zk8w/w-d-xo.html
What if that doesn't work. I've had this issue before and this (fix) did solve the problem. Now it's happening again and selecting those options does not work?
Strange!! Do the lines pixelate even before you scale or rotate the image? If that's the case, it can be your brush setting. Try the default "monoline" brush and see if it pixelates (as a test). Hope it works out!!
Lately when I export a file as jpeg lines are jagged but when I export as Tiff it’s more clear without the rough edges. Can you upload tiff images to social media?
Yes, JPEG gives you the highest compression (smallest file size), so the edges get blurry again. Tiff is a lossless format (with LARGE file size) and cannot be used on social media. But you can use PNG which you CAN use on social media, and it will still give you a pretty good quality image. Let me know if this helps!
LOL, I hear ya! Well, 1 option is to vectorize some of the past art using "live trace" in Illustrator. "Live tracer" can pick up even slightly blurred lines and turn them into smooth paths (with a level of smoothing that you choose). Another options is to trace over by hand or redraw. And create more art!!!!! :) Thank you for your comment.
I’ve been using bicubic to try and combat this problem and I still run into pixelation. What canvas and dpi do you suggest is best to avoid this?? I know the larger canvas and dpi the better but I’m not sure how large is large lol
I always use 300 DPI and as far as how big of a canvas size to use, I try to stick with at least 6 layers allowed on my big canvas sizes, but depending on which tablet you have you might have to play around with sizes and go down until you reach 6 layers allowed, this way you know how much your tablet can handle. I have an iPad Pro 9.7" and the max for me is 4896px x 3872px set to 300 dpi with 6 layers allowed.
Hi Tatyana, Thank you so much for that tip that is so useful! I did I not know about that either! 🙏😊 I have another question, if you could try to answer it. I’ve been looking for a solution and I can’t find one. When I go to shrink the drawings to put them in a collage, they get blurry . Do you know why that happens? Do you know how you can stop that from happening? Thank you so much Lisa 😊
Hi Lisa, thank you for leaving a comment! About the graphic getting blurry after sizing down... that used to happen in my Procreate too before setting the interpolation setting (as described in the video). Hm, now it's fine for me. Have you tried changing interpolation? Try different modes. It should fix it now! If it still happens, let me know and we can dig deeper. :) This interpolation setting affects scaling down too, not just rotation.
Hi Tanya, Thank you for getting back to me! 🙏😊 .. I will definitely give it a try! Thank you so very much for taking your time to help me! 🙏 I will let you know if it works! Thank you so much again Lisa 🌸
@@tatyanadeniz Hi Tania I did it. It works if you leave it bigger but if you shrink it down more it comes out blurry. I’m putting it in my pics in the PNG file instead of the JPEG file . I’m just trying to make collages with my art. The smaller pics aren’t coming out clear. I’m using them on a 1140x400 size paper does that have anything to do with it?
@@lisapoggioli8959 hi Lisa, ok that makes sense. :) The key here is the canvas size of 1140 x 400. Any image would look blurry on that when you zoom in, because it's just not enough pixels to show the image clearly. So it's not because you are scaling the image, but because ideally your canvas (what you call "paper") should be bigger. For reference, my small iPad has resolution of 2388 x 1668 px. And when I start a new artwork, I am to go 4000 x 4000 px. 😆 I know this is HUGE! But the bigger the canvas, the more clear you can get the image and the larger you can scale it. I hope this makes sense... please do reply if this doesn't solve it for you (and if it does! hehe). (Note: bigger canvas means less layers in Procreate)
Hi there, if yours still looks blurry, the next thing to explore is the size of your Procreate canvas... When the resolution is small (below 2000px), any image may look blurry - regardless of the setting. What is the canvas size you are using?
Yeah, I am not sure why it's defaulted to "nearest". This video was recorded 2 years ago 😆 - maybe the default will change in the future! Just set it to "bilinear" and it should be good! As Procreate updates, I am noticing more and more quality retained, even as I use "transform" and "liquify". So it IS getting better! 😄
