Shift-taste drucken und gedruckt halten, dann größe ändern.

Seeing that it is in regular steps I would say it´s a printer issue, you can even see the lines on the bottom print, faint, but they are there. So it could also be a banding issue. A suggestion would be to use a different ppi on your document and see if it goes away.

Let´s just say. German cruiseliner in the 80ties.

Weeeel I do know that the hotel Astor was at one time a great knocking shop... Frequently visited by young sailors with too much money and the common sense god gave a bag of hammers. Just...don´t...ask...how...I...know!

Yeti nother great picture thanks to affinity.

Nice, still experimenting with brushes myself.

Need to wrap it up, otherwise I´ll start go go from 1/100 to 1/1000 and never finish.

Just playing around with something different. I just watched Rio2 and fell in love with Gabi so I thought I could do that and if I printed and framed it, this picture would make a nice present for the granddaughter. Going to leave it for a few days then see if I can add more detail.

I love working with vectors, I have been hooked on vectors ever since the days of Aldus Freehand.

Digitizing artwork... will a scanner not be the better way?

I thought this picture could stand a bit more drama, so now it´s: The sinking of U-534 in the Kattegatt on May 5th 1945 by a coast guard B24 Liberator. In 1993 the submarine was raised and is now a fascinating U-Boot museum in Liverpool.

Welcome to the club... I think the best practice is to ignore profiles or set up generic profiles until you go to PDF.

You can read up on what profiles are used and how and where to deploy them here: http://colormanagement.org/index_en.html This is where I get all my profiles from, but having said that a lot of printers make their own or have them made from a fingerprint of their machine using a calibration sheet or the IT8 method, so it´s always best to consult with your friendly neighborhood printer first.

Interesting, I alway love reading about the nitty-gritty aspects of color management, I suppose that the question of colour balance is a case of how the profile sets the white point. In today´s printing, especially offset printing, wide gamut CMYK is very much a thing, even more so in flexographic I would wager. However what I have noticed is that adobe RGB performs better after inRIP conversion to a generic CMKY profile on press than sRGB does. Having said that I do think that it could be an issue that in Europe denstitometers are set to Status "E" and in the US they are on Status "T" and that gives you a complete different whitepoint. It´s one of the reasons, that prints done in the US with Euroscale profiles tend to have issues, same with a EU printer using SWOP in combination with status T.

*Ouch* my jaw just dropped to the table.

Just imagine you are going down a one way street where every step you take will diminish your color gamut, going from a low gamut profile to a high gamut profile won´t magically increase your gamut and in this case your adobe RGB has the wider gamut over the sRGB. This goes all the way down to CMYK which has the smallest gamut and there is no coming back from there.

The Designer part and the wirework.

Time for something different, a Type VIIc U-Boot at periscope depth I wanted to try a split under/overwater picture, this has taken perlin noise to the extreme.

It is now, amazing how few vectors it required to make something looking this complex.

It needs an Oreo dunked... Would love to see the wirework on that.

What planet are they from again?

Now you are just boasting. And WOW!

Is there any information in the Windows event viewer? Don´t think this is an affinity error per-se and did I read correctly Win10, 2004? There seems to be a whole list of bugs reported with this version, perhaps try a rollback.

The BBMF in all it´s glory.
