roman116 Posted November 22, 2021 Posted November 22, 2021 I made a vector image where I have 3 layers. The bottom layer is the background, where there is a simple linear gradient. In the top layer is some graphics that are grouped into one layer. In the middle layer, between the top layer and the bottom layer, there's a simple shadow that has a fill like a circular gradient where there's a dark brown color in the middle and a transparent color on the edge. The stroke is set to a strength of 0 points and no color.The overlay of this layer is set as "overlay". After exporting to SVG and reopening in Designer, I have this result. Both the top and bottom layer are fine. The middle layer, the shadow, is a complete disaster. The gradient, which had no stroke set, now has a 0 point stroke and the color is black. Where did he get that???? The bigger problem, which I don't know how to fix, is the fill.Instead of brown in the gradient, it is set to black (0,0,0 - RGB) and the overlay of this layer is changed from "overlay" to "normal". What to do next???? I am a Microstock contributor and also do things like printed graphics for clients. I bought the Affinity suite and started using Affinity Photo as a good alternative instead of Photoshop. I was looking forward to doing the same with Designer. Unfortunately, Designer can't even seem to do a proper SVG with the tools it has. I don't want to criticize it for being bad. But the usability is quite limited. Even Ink Scape has a "Mesh" tool.For me, as a Microstock contributor, Designer in its current form is unusable. However, it would be good if the creators of this program would comment if they plan any changes in this direction in the near future. Quote
NotMyFault Posted November 22, 2021 Posted November 22, 2021 There is a difference between stroke 0px and no stroke (ø symbol). Try no stroke.

What is the "Simple shadow"? Is this a shape or a curve or a pixel layer or something else? Is there an effect applied to what ever it is?

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Please could you provide a copy of your Affinity project file so that I can try exporting this here at my end to see if I run into the same issue when I reimport into Affinity? Thanks C MEB 1 Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.
