awhtly Posted May 2, 2022 Posted May 2, 2022 Hello. I am having trouble when I export a PDF (for export option). Some of the embeded images are blurry when I zoom in and some are not. The images all look the same within Affinity Designer and come from the same source, but some of them look blurry when I export and some dont. All within the same document. In this example, in panel K, you can see some of the 3D images are high quality (third image), but the others are blurry. Any help is appreciated. Thank you! Figure 3 v8.pdf Quote
walt.farrell Posted May 2, 2022 Posted May 2, 2022 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. Can you show us a screenshot of one in your Affinity Designer document that looks OK, and one that doesn't. Please make sure to include the Layers panel in each screenshot so we can see your layer structure, too.

awhtly Posted May 2, 2022 Author Posted May 2, 2022 Hello! Thank you for the welcome and the response. Here is a screen shot of the layers. I did find that there are brightness adjustments on the three blurry images. Is this why they are exporting at lower res. Do adjustments rasterize the image? Thank you! Quote

I can't really tell anything more from the screenshot, as I don't think you have any of the blurry images selected and expanded in the Layers panel. But if the 3 that are blurry when you zoom have adjustments, and the others don't, then probably that's what has caused it. Someone else will probably know more.

awhtly Posted May 2, 2022 Author Posted May 2, 2022 Thank you. Yes, the three images that are blurry have a brightness adjustment. Perhaps someone knows if there is a way to prevent severe rasterization when adding an adjustment? Quote

Actually I can't judge the export quality in your PDF visually because not knowing what this scientific motives are expected to look like. Aside this, there seem to be more than 3 images in your PDF which have a resolution of around 30 dpi only. To detect if all images did export fine it would be relevant to know their resolution within the layout of your .afdesign document. Can you upload an .afdesign layout with at least 1 of the affected images? Quote • MacBookPro Retina 15" | macOS 10.14.6 | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 • iPad 10.Gen. | iOS 18.5. | Affinity V2.6
