Hey again; not sure if you are aware, but saving and importing as SVG protects the gradients, but then clipping layers no work. Just in case this was information to be had :)

Thank you, and fantastic!

Hey! I wasn't entirely sure if this went here, or feature requests, but I'll give it a go: I'm required to deliver work in .ai format, but I absolutely prefer using Designer as my main tool. However, whenever I attempt to import work with gradients in it into illustrator, it becomes rasterized. I'm not sure this is something you/Affinity can do anything about, but it really slows down my work flow when I have to remove all gradients and reapply them in illustrator, in order to use Affinity Designer for the work i need. Attached two files: One view of an object with a gradient in Affinity (tried with app store version and the current beta) and view of illustrator. Top leaf saved in Designer as EPS and "placed," bottom leaf copied and pasted. The square to the left is the raster image added within a clipping path that happens (see the layer panel.) Worth a shot! :) Let me know if I'm being impossible!

Me too, I was afraid I'd lost things for good, so to hear this was a huge relief. :) It's all good - I was a drama queen in a panic, and suddenly "corrupted" seemed like a very scary word. Replacing it with gradients seems like a good solution as any. Thank you so much for the help! I hope you manage to fix the strokes without too much trouble. - Silje

That explains that, thank you! I'll just have to work in the Beta until then, I guess :) I'm glad that's all.

I've been in bit of a hurry, so I haven't gotten to check saving new documents, but yes - the files I'm working with cannot be opened in the Mac version, but they can be in the beta version. I have sent the files to a friend, and he can't open them with the mac version either. I was also surprised by how many problems I encountered at the same time - I also tried installing Illustrator an hour ago and it turned out broken(?) so it might be my computer atm. I'll absolutely send the files in question, and keep on trying different things :) Thank you for the quick reply.

Hello! I'm not quite sure where to post this, but I couldn't find anything about it, so here goes: I'm making a logo to be printed as a car sticker, and it has a lot of gradients and some line pressure going on. Client requested that I give it to them as an eps, but unchecking "rasterize gradients" meant that anything with transparency became completely solid. - this using the Beta. I then tried saving as a pdf, which did preserve the look, but rasterized all transparent objects, and removed the line pressure simulation. I opened these files both by using "open..." and "place" in Affinity Designer, and the results were the same. Same thing as the pdf happened when copy-pasting into indesign. Is it even possible to have this kind of transparency in an eps or pdf? And line pressure? Or do these effects have to be rasterized? (Screenshots explaining are linked in the text.) I'm new to using vectors, so sorry if this has a very obvious answer. :) EDIT: And now all the affinity designer files I output are corrupted :/ EDIT: None of the png or eps files i output can be opened by photoshop because it cannot "parse the postscript" or "parse the file." Is this an affinity problem?
