John Rostron Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 Your images are impressive as artwork, but I find them less impressive as text. Most are hardly readable.

The main goal - overall impression, even when the text is full abracadabra ))) John Rostron and mpowell 2 Quote Win10 x64 1907, 16G RAM, Core i7 + Wacom Cintiq 12WX Interactive Pen Display - Affinity Photo 1.7.3.481 + Beta 1.8.0.526, Adobe Photoshop CS6, Corel Draw X7, ArtCAM 2015 R2 iOS 13.1.0, iPad Pro 10.5, 64GB + Apple Pencil - Procreate 5.0.2, Affinity Photo 1.7.3, Affinity Designer 1.7.3

Manofjesus Posted November 30, 2019 Author Posted November 30, 2019 The same lettering, but different impressions due to different background and colors.

GarryP Posted December 7, 2019 Posted December 7, 2019 I don’t know if it’s just me but I think the highlight ellipses would look better if they were blurred a little towards the edges. The effects are great – a kind of ‘metallic jelly’ – but I think they are a little bit spoilt by the highlights. Maybe someone else in the forums has some good advice on this as I’m not an expert.

Manofjesus Posted December 7, 2019 Author Posted December 7, 2019 I test (earlier) some adjustments and make these ovals blurred a bit - it gives shiny look, and it is also look nice, but then switch blur off ))) But actually there a lot of FAKES here, and my goal is the main impression. Also there a lot of endless combinations - turn this ON, then turn this OFF and so on ))) So i decide to make STOP and release it to public GarryP 1 Quote Win10 x64 1907, 16G RAM, Core i7 + Wacom Cintiq 12WX Interactive Pen Display - Affinity Photo 1.7.3.481 + Beta 1.8.0.526, Adobe Photoshop CS6, Corel Draw X7, ArtCAM 2015 R2 iOS 13.1.0, iPad Pro 10.5, 64GB + Apple Pencil - Procreate 5.0.2, Affinity Photo 1.7.3, Affinity Designer 1.7.3
Manofjesus Posted December 11, 2019 Author Posted December 11, 2019 This time i decide to reproduce NEON effect in Affinity Designer. All elements are from vector. Only background is a bitmap. I found interesting thing. My file dimension is 1080px square. And after applying intensive FX - some image areas looks harsh. What i found to solve this issue - during export i enter resolution 3240px square - 3x per side bigger. And then open exported image and downscale it back to 1080 px square as i need. And it looks MUCH better . P.S. I use lanczos separable Smee Again, GarryP and Wosven 3 Quote Win10 x64 1907, 16G RAM, Core i7 + Wacom Cintiq 12WX Interactive Pen Display - Affinity Photo 1.7.3.481 + Beta 1.8.0.526, Adobe Photoshop CS6, Corel Draw X7, ArtCAM 2015 R2 iOS 13.1.0, iPad Pro 10.5, 64GB + Apple Pencil - Procreate 5.0.2, Affinity Photo 1.7.3, Affinity Designer 1.7.3
Manofjesus Posted December 12, 2019 Author Posted December 12, 2019 Here is my example, that illustrates, what i was talking in previous ENGINE post. This is very useful and unique feature ))) Thank you, Affinity team ! P.S. Click to picture (you see just big thumbnail in my post) and look to it at 100% zoom to evaluate actual difference.

Staff MEB Posted December 12, 2019 Staff Posted December 12, 2019 Hi Manofjesus, Fantastic lettering work, thanks for sharing with us DrawPlus did have a supersampling option for export so it's possible the devs also consider it for Affinity later, who knows. I wouldn't mind to have it for sure. Thanks. Manofjesus 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
