By default, SketchBook will always anti-alias the display to make the image look nice.  The best thing to do is to start with a higher resolution like 300 PPI (Pixels Per Inch).  The details are below:

A higher resolution in the sketch will ensure that when you print it out, it will look great. 

 

Also, please use the 'Save As" command instead of "Save".  If you save the file and call it "Dragon.tif", if you continue using the "Save As" command it will automatically add a number to the last file name.  That way, you don't lose any progress.  i.e. Dragon1.tif,  Dragon2.tif, Dragon3.tif etc. 

 

NOTE:  If there is a file corruption, you will not lose your work....

I have tried this. I still have the problem. My friend uses the same program and says they do not have the problem. It's impossible to see details while zoomed in.

You can't turn off Pixel Preview in the "Windows 10 (Tablet)" version of SketchBook.

 

www.sketchbook.com/windows10 (blue button)

 

The Desktop version will be pixelated but make sure that the image is set to 300 PPI and it will look good when you print it.

DPI is not the reason. The reason is that the application smooths the whole image. I want to see pixels when I zoom, not a blurry mess, please, make a an option to stop smoothing canvas, the same way like you stop blurring when the canvas is moved.
