Pyanepsion Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 Hi to all. The conversion to PSD of an AFDESIGN file containing an effect, for example 3D, is particularly long (10 to 30 minutes), especially if the dimensions are large, in this case 11,000 pixels in 400 DPI, making this conversion impossible. The result produced is of poorer quality with a text converted into an image, therefore pixelated.

Staff Sean P Posted November 24, 2020 Staff Posted November 24, 2020 Hi Pyanepsion Unfortunately I'm unable to reproduce the export time - it exported in about a minute for me. What export settings are you using? As Walt says, text is always rasterised when being exported to PSD - this is currently by design.
Pyanepsion Posted November 24, 2020 Author Posted November 24, 2020 Hi Sean. 2 minutes ago, Sean P said: text is always rasterised when being exported to PSD. Yes, but this is a pity, because the function loses much of its interest. Here are the settings used. I left them by default in PSD. 6 cœurs, 12 processus - Windows 11 pro - 4K - DirectX 12 - Suite universelle Affinity (Affinity Publisher, Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo). ███ Mais je vous le demande, peut-on imaginer une police sans sérifs ?
Staff Sean P Posted November 24, 2020 Staff Posted November 24, 2020 Looks like they're the same as the ones I'm using. How long did the attached Hydrogen file take you to export? Is it much quicker after a reboot of your machine?
Joachim_L Posted November 24, 2020 Posted November 24, 2020 Export lasted under a minute on my average machine. ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed
Pyanepsion Posted November 24, 2020 Author Posted November 24, 2020 It was the wrong file. Try again with this one. 32.afdesign The processor utilisation rate is bordering on overwork between 75 and 99.8%. 2 cores 16 MO. 6 cœurs, 12 processus - Windows 11 pro - 4K - DirectX 12 - Suite universelle Affinity (Affinity Publisher, Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo). ███ Mais je vous le demande, peut-on imaginer une police sans sérifs ?
Staff Sean P Posted November 24, 2020 Staff Posted November 24, 2020 Thanks for that - it seems to be the rasterising of a filter effect on such a large layer. I'll get it passed over to be looked into and see if anything can be done to improve the speed.

Pyanepsion Posted November 24, 2020 Author Posted November 24, 2020 Please note that it is the PSD export with the filter (3D effect?) that slows down since if you save the file in AFDESIGN format, the saving is done in a much shorter time. 6 cœurs, 12 processus - Windows 11 pro - 4K - DirectX 12 - Suite universelle Affinity (Affinity Publisher, Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo). ███ Mais je vous le demande, peut-on imaginer une police sans sérifs ?

Pyanepsion Posted November 24, 2020 Author Posted November 24, 2020 Yes and no. Possibly yes if we are sure that the file will only be used for export. No here, because these are the French images of a book created with Affinity Publisher which will be published in a foreign language (English) in May. Editions Hachette wants to have these francized images in PSD for an upcoming French version to be published in April. 6 cœurs, 12 processus - Windows 11 pro - 4K - DirectX 12 - Suite universelle Affinity (Affinity Publisher, Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo). ███ Mais je vous le demande, peut-on imaginer une police sans sérifs ?
carl123 Posted November 24, 2020 Posted November 24, 2020 The problem appears to be with the large orange rectangle which has a 3D FX applied More specifically that FX has a profile applied to it If you click on the Remove Profile button then exporting takes just over a minute To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
