mp_design Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Hey there, I have a problem which I came up with today. I designed a rollup which is 870mmx2270mm. For the background and some shapes I added noise in the color palette. I checked everything at 100% zoom. So when exporting the file, the noise is almost gone. So I tried to rasterize the shapes in designer... But there is the same issue. I tried a lot of stuff including a noise live filter but cannot get the result when rasterizing or exporting the file, even with a 100 % zoom. The other issue I ran into when rasterizing the shapes I could not save the project file anymore... It just hung up on the task. I guess it has something to do with the actual artboard size? Does anybody has an idea how to get this thing to work? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri-Toon Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 So you are trying to have the noise be maintained on export. What filetype are you trying to export your design as? And were there any other options that you toggled during export? Quote The website is still a work in progress. The "Comics" and "Shop" sections are not yet ready. Feel free to connect with me and let me know what you like or what can be improved. You can contact me here, on my contact page, YouTube channel, or Twitter account. Thanks and have a great day!

NotMyFault Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 The size of your document is gigantic if you have 300dpi (default) when you export to bitmap formats like png jpeg tiff, this could explain why Affinity seems to hang. Check the size in px, it might even exceed limit of these formats or Affinity. You need to choose a reasonable lower DPI. The DPI settings impacts noise rendering as the dimensions (number of px) depend on it.

mp_design Posted December 14, 2021 Author Share Posted December 14, 2021 Hi all, thanks for your replies. My system is a Mac Mini M1 with 8GB RAM. I am working in 300 DPI because I need this to be in the end. The problem is, it is not "What you see is what you get"... When designing for screen the noise is the same because of the screen DPI. This is a bit of a bummer. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the export format & why do you need it to be 300 DPI?

Fixx Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Swatch generated noise has a problem that you cannot adjust the cell size in any way. So at 300 dpi it tends to be rather unnoticeable. I guess it is meant more for onscreen works (72 dpi). If your artwork allows you could most as vectors (text, shapes) to keep it sharp and use lower document dpi so noise would be more apparent. Alternative is to do custom noise with noise filters (I guess you can up the cell size?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can reproduce a difference between Designer Rendering and Export result only if i set "Rendering Quality" to "low". This is by design. When i choose "Best" or "High", i get 100% identical results. But there might be differences between Win and Mac.
