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?
