Rendering of water shorelines is broken

I'm creating a small map with a lac using the soft color overland lake 3 setting.

This is the OWM view:

And this is the rendered view:

In addition the rendered image is more bright and details are lost, especially the nice pattern effect.
Is it a bug or something expected ?

The shoreline issue is a Beta 6 bug that will be fixed with the coming release.

The difference in composition is the rasterizer for the "in-program" view (faster + lower quality) vs. the final rasterizer. You can have OWM use the "Raster Quality" exporter for "in-program" for comparison (under View->Preview Quality).

Question: Are you scaling while exporting? Or is it just 100%/no scaling.

I'll also try to do some additional testing and what may be causing the difference.

Thanks!

I try to locate this bug in the known bug, but I probably missed it.
The export was done at 100%.
And I though that I played with the "Raster Quality" setting and that I chose the better quality version. I have to retry that however.


Another small glitch I had that is probably already known and fixed is feature artefact after an undo:

draw feature with the features surface tool using the mouse drag mode and then undo action: the feature will still be visible and I had to drag over another feature to erase the rendered features.

Many thanks for your feedbacks.

Quick update about rendering diff:

My rendering settings:

The export settings:

And the comparison:
again the exported is brighter and texture details have been lost. Kind of over-exposed softened blurred result :cry: Gone the nice grain added by the texture !

Yup. That was a good catch!

The overexposed issue is fixed with the upcoming release now :)

Thank you!
