brunoczech Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Hi guys, First time I tried to use gradient for print and cannot figure out what's wrong. ;) Check the screenshots. On the display the gradient looks perfect. In the exported PDF it looks awful. I've tried circle with radial transparency 0-100% added, and also white circle with white to transparent gradient. Same result. Midpoint is at 40% and I even tried different transparency/color values for this midpoint but it's still the same. is there a simple way how to achieve this gradient for print? Thanks.

brunoczech Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 I've found a way to do it! Apparently it's got nothing to do with the color space/profile. All that was needed was to blur the layer with the circle with the amount of 100 - 200px, and then rasterize this layer so there is no color banding. That's it. Yeah!

Pšenda Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 On je spíš problém v tom, že se na Affinity nedá v tomto případě spolehnout. Pak si musíte tisk/export neustále hlídat (co se kde vytisklo jinak než to vypadalo na obrazovce), a pak případně dělat nějaká opatření.
