rbsund Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Hi all, my colleagues discovered that the exported PNGs of Affinity Designer have worse anti-aliasing than the ones our boss makes with Inkscape. When we tried to improve on our export quality we discovered that changing the resampler in the export setting resulted in the exact same files. They even have the same md5 checksum. The Version used is 1.9.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted March 29, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 29, 2021 Hi rbsund, Are you modifying the size on export? The resample methods are only used when the size of the export is modified, see attached video. Resample.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbsund Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 Hi Sean, thank you! Very good to see the video, I appreciate it. Is there any way to influence the edge quality of the default export? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted March 29, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 29, 2021 Not a problem. You can use the Blend Ranges dialog (accessed from the cog next to the layer blend name) to control blending options with other layers which should allow you to tweak things to how you want them.

rbsund Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 If resampling only triggers when rescaling the content that means its only applied to rasterized content anyways isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're exporting out to a raster format, then everything will have to be rasterised, and if it is being rescaled, it is then resampled based on the settings you choose.

rbsund Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 Ahh I see. Can you forward the edge quality thing with Affinity Designer versus Inkscape? Could be worth looking into... I certainly don't want to fiddle with any setting for every edge I have somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
