Inkscape v0.92

When I zoom I would like to see the individual pixels instead of the zoom anti-aliasing. This occurs not only for paths but also for bitmaps.

I realize there is now a 'Display: Use antialiasing' option in Document Properties but this does not facilitate my request.

Sorry didn't quite understand your question, apologies for the confusion. Anyhoo, here's how to do it.

Click Edit > Preferences, and select Bitmaps and scroll down to Import

Set up as follows:



Now when you import a bitmap, the zoom blur rendering is switched off, so you will be able to see sharp pixel boundaries when you zoom in.raster/bitmap image

Here's a screenshot of a raster/bitmap image zoomed in with overlaid vector



Edit: after some chat with the OP @shrimpwagon who discovered that this fix doesn't work for images already placed in the file, it is possible to fix that by editing the XML

style: image-rendering:optimizeSpeed

Also when importing, shrimpwagon discovered that this dialog also appears if you have the "Ask about linking and scaling when importing" option checked in the import preferrences.



So, if you get this - choose blocky!!!

Inkscape is a vector illustration application. There are no "pixels" to show, as they don't exist.

Some vector illustration software, such as Illustrator (I believe) has a feature that will show you the pixel conversion in real time so you can tweak your vectors to match a particular pixel resolution output. Inkscape does not have that feature AFAIK.
