  1. I'm pretty sure that in the past I exported PNGs from Designer with a functional alpha. Using the latest version, that doesn't seem to work anymore. Any ideas?
  2. I know it's an option for HDR, but i would really like to have this option for the png file extension.
  3. Hi there, I have a lot of vector graphics made on Adobe Fireworks in PNG 32 layers format. Is there a way to import separate layers in Affinity Designer ? thanks...
  4. I love Affinity Photo and Designer. I plug them continually, however, please add support for 16 bit PNG exports!
  5. When exporting a PNG about 3000x3000 or higher, at the end of the export it fails giving an error about not embedding metadata. The resulting file is not saved sometimes, and if it is, it is unusable.
  6. Inspired by the icons on the Affinity Designer export panel, I thought I'd design some icons to give my Windows 10 install a refresh. It's the first time I've experimented with the 'Export' Persona. Combined with IcoFX Portable I can batch process the icons really quickly. I've attached the .afdesign file, plus .ico files for anyone who wants to use them on their PC. I use a great free app called Default Programs Editor to change the icons on Windows (amongst other things). Flat Shaded Icons.zip
  7. I think a really handy option for the 'export' dialogue would be 'Space around image'. I regularly send logo proofs to customers as JPEG or PNG. When exporting selections, the resulting image always perfectly frames the objects selected (which is good). However sometimes I like to add a border to make the image more easily viewable to the client. Could there be an option to add a certain number of pixels evenly around an exported bitmap? I don't always want to adjust the artboard or add another object to achieve this.
  8. Hi all, I am very new to AD, just bought my license yesterday - so forgive me if I miss something obvious. I created an image and exported as PNG, resolution 210x260. I was puzzled by jagged edges and pixel-effects: 69 kb I tried to export with 840x1040 pixels (4x dimensions), and then resized the resulting image to 210x260 using MacOS Preview. The second path gives me slightly larger file-size, but a lot better quality at the same final resolution: 86 kb What would be the best/recommended way to create a transparent PNG with optimal quality for the targeted resolution (210x260) using AD (alone, ideally)? Thanks a lot, livsfuchs
  9. Hello, it would be very nice to be able to see the preview and the estimated size in kb while exporting in jpg and png (and maybe an export with TinyPNG would be awesome ) thank you
  10. Hey! I just started using Affinity Designer (win beta) over Fireworks about a week ago. Thus far I absolutely love it and everything I've wanted to do has followed a similar logic to how things work in FW, which makes the transition quite easy. Today I ran in to the first situation where I can't seem to figure out how to do something as well (or better) than in Fireworks. That is to export a circular logo in transparent PNG-8 form optimized as well as I did all the time with Fireworks, without having jagged edges / antialiasing issues with the logo. I've attached all the files of my tests below. I did try many other more specific settings with Affinity too, trying to find a good solution but I can't seem to figure out how to get the same results as I do with FW. Original file: 27,6 KB Fireworks export PNG-8: 13,2 KB Affinity export PNG-24: 29,9 KB Affinity export PNG-8, with jagged edges: 12,9 KB For web purposes this is a big enough difference that I need to disturb my workflow and jump back to Fireworks to do these types of things. I'm hoping someone has more experience with this sort of thing in Affinity and can give me a solution that can reach the same filesize as FW without those jagged edges that I seem to get when exporting PNG-8 from Affinity Designer. Anyone? :)
  11. Since this subject comes up often I am writing a definitive statement. Fireworks (layered) PNG files There is no such thing as "layered PNG". The PNG standard does not define a way to store layers, and only deals with flattened images. Fireworks saves out additional layer data to PNG files in a proprietary format using a private tag. A definition for this proprietary data has never been made public. A PNG saved by Fireworks can still be used as a flattened image by any application that can handle PNG files. These applications will handle the standard data and ignore the proprietary Fireworks data. Affinity handles standard PNG files. But, it cannot import or export the layer data using the Fireworks method. There is no expectation that we will ever be able to handle Fireworks layer data in PNG files. We acknowledge that being able to support Fireworks PNG files would be of great benefit to users of Affinity. If a public definition of the data format becomes available, we will be able to address the issue. Layered TIFF files There is no such thing as "layered TIFF". The TIFF standard only handles flattened images as part of the publicly described tags. TIFF does allow for companies to register additional tags for their own use. Adobe registered two private TIFF tags that enable them to embed layer data in a TIFF. These tags are an extension and are not part of the central TIFF standard. These tags are used to embed PSD layer data into a TIFF, in addition to the standard flattened image. Since Affinity has a PSD importer, we are able to import the layer data from a TIFF if it has these tags. However, since this is handled by our PSD importer it is subject to the same limitations as importing a standard PSD into Affinity. We make clear that while we aim to provide the best third party support for PSD, we can never replicate 100% the way Photoshop handles and displays a PSD file. Photoshop has its own approach to applying alpha/transparency, vector masks and vector strokes, layer effects and gradients. This means that while we can offer importing of editable elements of a PSD file, the result will not be a one-to-one pixel reproduction of what you see in Photoshop. We have registered our own TIFF tags for embedding Affinity layer data in a TIFF, in similar fashion to PSD layer data. This is intended for use with DAMs that use TIFF as their interchange format. When saving a TIFF file, if your document has multiple layers you will be given the option of including Affinity layer data. This will preserve the editable elements of a multi-layer document. This obviously comes at a cost of increased file size. Our TIFF tags will use our proprietary data format and as such can only be used by Affinity applications. At this time we have no plans to save TIFF files with the PSD format layer data. PSD layer data held in a TIFF file will be imported and converted to the Affinity format.
  12. Hi. Designer exporting to eps images with transparency just like flattened jpg including rasterized part of bottom image. Why not png? Solve this bug please.
  13. When I open an SVG file (this has been going on in all the Betas so far) and try to export it as a PNG bitmap, the save dialog claims it is going to create an *.png file but it keeps the .svg extension in the file name it offers, so if you just accept it without explicitly deleting the .svg extension and changing it to .png, it will save the PNG bitmap under the name of the original SVG. OK, that was a mouthful. So, here is an example: Open example.svg, export to PNG. After the export dialog, the save-file dialog pops up. It suggests to save the PNG as example.svg. Since any other Windows program would automatically offer example.png, you just press the enter key, and now you have lost your original SVG file and you cannot find your bitmap because example.svg in now a PNG bitmap with the wrong extension. Additionally, Affinity Designer now thinks that example.svg has changed (even though all I did was export it), and so when I want to quite the program, it wants me to save it.
  14. Hello, it would be great, if Affinity Photo/Designer would implement PNG compression. There are several tools on the market (online and offline), which do the job pretty effectively (in most cases the file size is decreased by almost 70 %). Or is the compressed format named PNG-8? If yes, it works nicely with small PNG files, but it does not work for large files. It does not crash the program, it just does not produce an output. However, the large files can nicely be compressed with many other tools. Best, Chris
  15. The attached PNG when exported from Affinity Designer was 296 KB (303,788 bytes). The same image after opening and resaving from FastStone Capture is only 205 KB (210,820 bytes)
  16. Hello, When I place a screenshot PNG image directly onto my canvas, the colours are completely warped as if there is a filter on it (e.g. greens turn blue, reds turn brown, blue turns pink). I have got around this, by importing the PNG image into Photoshop, exporting it as a PNG file, then re-importing/placing it into Affinity Designer. Thank you for any thoughts on the matter. Affinity 1.4.1 OSX 10.11.5
  17. I've been trying to use Affinity Designer on my latest web project and I've hit a snag that isn't a problem with Sketch or Photoshop. I've got a document with art that uses a specific gold color (#f1b82d). It's my university's brand color. I need my art to have that exact color build in order to match all the other design elements of my site. When I export the art as a PNG, the resulting file has a different color build and doesn't match. I think it has to do with color profiles being set, but when I uncheck that option in the export palette I get a different color shift. How can I export art as a PNG that has the exact color build as in the edit mode? I've attached some examples and my Affinity Designer document. I hope this is a simple thing I'm missing. Thanks! social icons.afdesign
  18. I wrote the report already. Affinity Photo is still exporting to psd incorrect. Just different result exporting to jpg (result is similar to what I see in Photo app) and psd or png (all masks are incorrect, gaps appears where was perfect joints). Similar situation with Designer. I exported in all file formats and png is terrible — opacity gradients like shadows are ugly, eps is terrible — all objects are misplaced a bit, svg is ok). So all your apps has problems with export and I am trying, trying to use it for different operations but I must use Photoshop and Illustrator finally because I am just wasting time. Software is great, I so love it but your terrible export is making me crazy and I can't use it with another software because I can get perfect result only with jpg, even PNG is bad. Do something with it please Here is previously attached screen capture video to explain the problem. Affinity bug.mp4.zip Screenshots: post-18436-0-44075800-1450183254.png post-18436-0-91374300-1450183280.png PS: jpg export was bad too but now it is ok, rasterizing feature (like on video example) and another formats exporting are still terrible. PPS: I am confused. . . When I am exporting to jpg with Export Persona to jpg, JPG file is terrible like on screenshots. When I am exporting to jpg with File-Export, image is ok.
  19. I'm running into an issue in the Export Persona at the save location Finder window where the file type always changes from that specified in the settings. It occurred when exporting a PDF and it forces a PNG. Also, in a totally separate file, it forces a JPG from a PNG export. It occurs in both Designer and Photo. Using the generic File > Export seems to work okay but in the PDF document I'm getting terrible defects on the Outer Glow effect similar to this topic. I thought it may have been a bug on my iMac but I tried the same thing on my MacBook with the same result. So I don't think re-installing the apps will correct it. Am I doing something wrong with the settings? My other thought is my files are buggy.
  20. Hi, try as I might, I can export a slice as a .png with transparency. I've tried with an artboard and without, no luck. I've searched this forum and the www. What I'm I doing wrong?! Thanks in advance.
  21. I have a logo with transparent background in PNG format. I use photofy to change my logo color but I would like to use keynote. Apple tells me that keynote does not have ability to change my image color. What program can I use to change my logo color and then use in keynote as a PNG with transparent background? Will Affinity help?
  22. Hi. I'm having serious issues with exporting to jpg or any other format. When i do, the quality is significantly worse. But i can't work out why. Sometimes when i export some files they are fine, but others the quality is bad. Please help!
  23. I have taken a crisp screen shot for a tutorial and want to edit it in Affinity Designer. But when I open the png in Affinity the image quality is noticeably degraded. If I upload straight to Wordpress the quality is even worse. The image size is 963 × 843 and the width of the area I'm placing it on my blog is 780. (If I resize the image down to 780 and upload to WP the quality is worse than leaving it at 963 ???) I don't understand why both Affinity and WP are degrading the quality of the image. I've attached a screen shot of the original image open in Preview next to the same image opened in Affinity (however screen grabbing this example shows a bit lower quality than I'm seeing in real life (why???) - but it's still good enough to show the quality loss in Affinity vs the original.
  24. Hi, would it be possible to integrate pngquant (https://pngquant.org) for exporting PNG files? It allows to create 8 bit, indexed PNGs but with full 8 bit alpha channel. Files are thus very small but still retain full transparency and great quality (in most cases) through indexing and dithering.
  25. I will have done something wrong, but I have created an icon with a triangle and a rectangle, overall size approx 23 px x 55 px. The triangle is filled with a websafe green and the rectangle with a websafe brown. They both have a border of 1px white. When I export it with Export> PNG selection without background the file is about 15k I thought this was wrong and much bigger than I expected. So I did a similar test with INKSCAPE and its filesize is 1k - yes 1K I expect it is to do with quality, but can not see a setting, that would make the AD image smaller I have attached both files. These files are for icon markers on Google maps What have I done wrong ?
