ClaireE Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I have a logo that I can't export in high quality in PNG or JPG (except as a large file). It looks great as an SVG, but that's it. The logo is 400px in height, but I really need it to be PNG with a height of 90px. Does it have something to do with the brush strokes? The dpi is 300. I've attached my afdesigner file, plus a large non-fuzzy exported PNG, a small fuzzy png and a small fuzzy jpeg. What am I doing wrong here? (I did also try creating a logo in afdesigner that was 90px high as the original and that also exports fuzzy.) Brush logo.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The different algorithms do not make a big difference. I tried one trick though - YET ANOTHER WORKAROUND, SERIF!!! - that may help you. Select the two layers Duplicate them (Control + j) Group them (control + g) Name the group export Right click the group and select rasterize Keep it selected - and only that layer Export with the desired settings - remember to select "Selected" in 'Area' If you require a slightly sharper image you can sharpen it in the pixel person with a low opacity. This is what I got from my how-to above with no additional sharpening: ClaireE 1 Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."

ClaireE Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 Thanks, guys! Sorry for the late response! I haven't been able to work on this project for a couple weeks. I tried both methods. Carl123's works the best, although still a tiny bit fuzzy--but manageable. Jowday, I tried the first steps of yours but never got around to sharpening in Pixel Persona. Perhaps that would make a huge difference. I'll try that next! Thanks again! It's good enough for government work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
