RainerH Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Hello, when I put a outwad shade to a image there is a angle on it . How can I avoid tihs? Tank you for your help. Rainer Addition: Shaddows in Affinity Publisher are implementled unadiquately! I'm afraid that's a reason for many Indesign users who are interestet in Publisher, not to change.

Aammppaa Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 This looks like a bug as the same operation in Affinity Designer works correctly. Outer Shadow overlapping any other shape appears darker than it should. << Affinity Designer = Correct << Affinity Publisher = Bug Quote Win10 Home x64 | AMD Ryzen 7 2700X @ 3.7GHz | 48 GB RAM | 1TB SSD | nVidia GTX 1660 | Wacom Intuos Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michail Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 @RainerH, @Aammppaa: I don't know what I do differently. I cannot reproduce the result in the current release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aammppaa Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Interesting. Mac or Windows? The bug seems most pronounced when the rectangle is white. Does that look any different on your system?

Michail Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Could it possibly be a display problem? Does anything change when the element is scrolled out of the screen area and back in again? Or when zooming in and out? Wosven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 On Win7, the display problem appears only with a white rectangle, once exported as PDF the shadow is regular, no bug visible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michail Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Now I see it too. The cause is the blend mode. It calculates inside the rectangle over white and outside the rectangle over transparency. If you use a background with color information, APub behaves as expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is a display problem with CMYK documents where compositing on the "paper white" is calculated incorrectly. A workaround is to use a white rectangle covering the spread to represent a white background. Michail 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or something else, because obviously (in CMYK documents) the background is interpreted as transparent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainerH Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 Indded it relates to the background. On my master page there's a rectangle with a gradient and jusst there where it ends on its upper side, the angle in the shadow appears. Please take a look of attached Screenshots (picture 1 and picture 2). I drew a dashed red rectagle line to see it see it clearer on the layout page. But you can also see the upper end of the gradient rectangle on the bleed on left and right hand side. So the question is: Is this onla a display problem in Publisher or is it also exportet and then printed at the print shop? As it is visible in the PDF-file too I think it's also printed. (picture 3) For a workaround I will highten the rectagle with the gradient until the top of the page and the problem should be solved.

Wosven Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 It's not display in PDF for print (flatten transparency x-1a:2003). I wouldn't rely only on display and direct print from the app, since it's the resulting PDF that is important for me. test_shadows.afpub test_shadows.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainerH Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 Hello Wosven, In my case the shadow appeared in PDF too but here it could be also a display problem. Rainer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
