Issue to export file

[arnofaure]

Hello,

I have 2 issues when I export my file :

1. The quality of the export in PNG seems not good, the straight lines have a "stairs" effect. I know that we go from vector to bitmap, but it's the first time I see such a difference.
2. I have a drop shadow effect on all my layers but when I export it in a PNG file the drop shadow has vanished.

Please see the 2 files attached (affinity design and png).

Thanks for your help.

Arno.

Hi arnofaure,

What export settings are you using for PNG? Could you attach a screenshot showing all the settings found under 'More' please? Also ensure your 'Resample' option is set to Bilinear and not Nearest Neighbour, otherwise this will cause the hard edges you are seeing.

I exported your document using the default 'PNG' preset and it exported fine for me!

Hi @Sean P

Thank you for your message. I used the default "PNG" preset too. I tried again this morning and it doesn't work. Please see the screenshot attached.

Thank you for your help.

Please use the 'PNG' preset and not the PNG-8 (dithered) preset. That will give you a slightly lower quality file that is much smaller in size, however for your situation you will want to use the regular 'PNG' preset.

Oh, thank you @Sean P, sorry I didn't notice the "dithered" mention .

Now it works great.

Thanks again.
