AltOber Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Hello, I come here to expose a problem that I had on a .eps file created under AFD. Indeed, this file transmitted to a friend who works with AI is pixelated and not vectorized and there is no possibility to break down the elements of the file. Does anyone else have this kind of problem? I specify that the visual was made with the brushes "chunky markers" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 If made with the brushes these are not vector brushes in the true sense, they are raster (PNG files) along a vector path.

Staff Dan C Posted October 18, 2019 Staff Share Posted October 18, 2019 Hi AltOber Could you please provide a copy of the .afdesign file and screenshots of your export settings? Although as firstdefence has mentioned, these brushes are not true vector - however the curves should still be editable as vector when exported to eps, hence I'd like the file to investigate further!

AltOber Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 Thank you for your answers @ firstdefence & Dan C ! Here are the screen shots requested. On the other hand, it will be in French and not in English, sorry ! CHAP'PAS.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 This file whether an EPS or PDF, will not open as anything other than rasterised images in Adobe Illustrator, telling the exporter to not rasterise anything will lose the strokes texture because it is a raster image and you will end up with this... In Adobe Illustrator, their brushes are pure vector files, so based mainly on eps, ai files. A comparable Affinity scenario would be creating vector brushes based on afdesign files, this is not possible at the moment but I hope they will get round to it soon so we can have pure vector brushes in Affinity, meaning vector graphics on curves/paths.

Wosven Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 You friend can convert it to curves in Illustrator, or you can do it with inkScape: You rasterize the stroke(s) and cut them (I did it one by one to keep them independent) You open inkScape and paste it You vectorize them You cut and paste them in AD The files: CHAPPAS2.afdesign CHAPPAS.eps AltOber, firstdefence and lacerto 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
