j60 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Hi All, I am a new user here. Really love the AD and amazed by its feature and speed. However, I just found out the clipping mask with gradient effect I made in AD were pixelated after export in .eps and .pdf file. I didn't check "Rasterise unsupported effects" but the result is just disappointing. The original file in AD looks sharp when zoomed in, but not the case in AI and PDF. Can anyone help me here? thanks! AI AD test.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted July 14, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 14, 2015 This is because your ellipse has a gradient overlay layer effect on it producing the black->white gradient. Layer effects are pixel-based effects so will be rasterised when exported. Instead, turn off the gradient overlay effect and just use the gradient tool (press 'g') to produce the same effect in vectors and export that to PDF instead - the output is pure vector and crisp. Hope that helps :) Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
