Jowday Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 EDIT: Solved, not a problem in Designer - but in the image viewer. Hi Serif I am working on a drawing in A3 size in AD 1.7.481. Originally the document was set to 300 DPI and it exported fine. Now if I change the document to 600 DPI or simply double the export size in pixels quite a few edges are exported with horrible jagged edges. Changing resample method doesn't make any difference. Cut out from the drawing. It is a small door number. All is vector shapes with applied effects. 300 DPI, TIFF 16 bit RGB 600 DPI, , TIFF 16 bit RGB It looks like the effects are rendered in 300 DPI and scaled up? Why is it not rendered smoothly? 19 is a vector shape! Thx Changing the DPI and exporting is all that is needed to reproduce. bug.afdesign Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."

v_kyr Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Probably the FX effects (raster/pixels) are the problem here under Win. - Under OSX things look like this ...

Staff Sean P Posted November 19, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 19, 2019 Hi Jowday, The attached file is already 600DPI, however rescaling down to 300, saving, closing, opening back up and then rescaling to 600 still allows the export to go out without a problem! Could you attach the resulting TIFF file that your screenshot is showing please? I've attached a copy of the TIFF file I got from the above operation. It gives me the same result as v_kyr bug.tiff Jowday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowday Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 When I open and export this afdesign file (Windows 10 pro) as is this is the TIFF I get. TIFF, PNG, same result Same result from two machines.

Staff Sean P Posted November 19, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 19, 2019 How are you viewing the exported TIFF? I noticed the Windows Photo Viewer gives the bad filtering you seem to get but when zoomed right in is fine. If I then open it in Affinity, it again is fine.

Jowday Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 I chose “objects will rescale” when I changed DPI btw. Attached a version of the file before DPI was changed. Sounds like a Windows only issue. BTW just expoeting to 10000 pixels in height triggers the problem no matter the DPI setting. bug_older.afdesign Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."

I use FastPictureViewer Professional and it shows it with jagged edges even at 100% - I simply didnt suspect it could render an image wrong at 100% ... confused. I now opened the same files in Photoshop 2020, and Indeed the file looks great and as expected. Note: disabling GPU support in FastPictureViewer Professional improved rendering a bit.
