Greg Wo Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) See attached screenshots. There are visible lines between objects. There should not be visible these lines. The lines have the same width at every zoom and unfortunately remains after render to bitmap/pixel.

ChristAlix Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hello Greg Wo, it's a known problem, it occurs when smoothing (anti-aliasing) between the exact cut edges. There is some workaround for the problem and that is to click on the "Blend Ranges" (gear icon next to the lock icon) in the "Layers panel", a menu called "Blend Options" will appear. In the pulldown menu "Anti-aliasing:" Select [Force Off] and the edges of the cut will close. But beware, there will be strong / ugly stepping effects at the deliberately visible edges. See the example below. 2021-03-01-18-12-19.mp4 Gabe and Greg Wo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Wo Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 Thanks @ChristAlix Unfortunately, after "Rasterise..." these faulty lines at edges become visible again, 😐 also in my other vector clipart files... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristAlix Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Alternatively, I can offer another solution that has also helped me to avoid these ugly cuts. I go to the menu "Anti-aliasing:" as described above and select [Force Off]. Then I enlarge the image by the multiple DPI value and rasterise it by selecting "Rasterise...". Then I reduce it to the desired size and rasterise it again. visible lines between objects.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted March 3, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 3, 2021 The issue only seems to affect the rasterisation action. However, having set the Antialiasing to OFF for the master group, an exported file will look correct. Greg Wo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spsorrel Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Solved. The solution is to give colour to the strokes of every masks. You have the masks with a white fill, so paint the strokes with white. It shouldn´t be work in this way, because the vector masks didn´t have strokes initially; but now we know masks are affected by both parts: fill and stroke. Gabe, is this gonna be modified in the future? Apart of the solution, the same selection filter is a very good piece of news for the 1.9 update, but for example it doesn´t have an option to select all masks. It would be great to give more power to the filter. Thanks. test176.afdesign Jowday, ChristAlix and Greg Wo 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
