I precisely placed some pictures in the designer of WPF and when i build and run the program the pictures are off several pixels...
is there any way to make the designer more accurate or you have to print screen the program go to a image editing program and measure pixels until you get it right?
it's So disturbing
Thanks in advance

There could be any number of reasons; not just ONE.

Since you show no xaml or code, one cannot tell what is what. And, we only have your word for what only YOU can SEE.

Thanks for giving me a hint that I do something wrong, I experimented with layout in the properties and things got better

Placing images in the designer in NOT the way to go about getting "pixel perfect" placement. The designer is a SCALED display so you're not seeing that you've actually not placed the images exactly where you want them.

If you want perfect placement, you do it by directly editing the values in XAML or setting values in the code-behind.
