Vector Brushe strokes different after exporting to different size


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Vector brush strokes "move" or give different results after exporting to higer or lower size.

Another problem is that exporting to lower size give a blured image.

The red strokesare pixels brushes, the black vector brushes.

I was teting brushes, so the end of the strokes can be ugly, but they should export the same at different sizes.

 

Export original size:

Export 1/2 size:

Export *2 size (I couldn't upload the huge file, I reduced the file's size):

Guessing this is because Affinity's "vector" brushes are actually raster images that follow a vector path, not true vector brushes.

Hi Wosven,

Sorry for the delay, with regards to exporting something at half the size of your source it will unfortunately result in less clarity in places. This will be especially common in areas that have a lot of thin lines switching between white and black like in your document - they will end up getting blended together, because there isn't enough pixels in that area to give the definition.

With that said though the long zig-zag line at the bottom is still considerably different, so I will pass that on, along with the issue with the brushes changing when exporting at 2x as well.

The lines shouldn't change, whatever the export settings. When exporting a square, it's a square at 1 or x2 or x3.

It should be the same with "vector" brushes. End of lines should stay the same, and lines too.
This wouldn't happen with real vector  brushes, I hope you'll add them soon.
