tudor Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 3 hours ago, 913 said: It means that Make the affinity designer export files , such as EPS(main file ) capable of holding groups , layers , text , and Specific color profile ( cmyk , rgb ) The EPS file format does not support any of the features you mentioned. If you were thinking of Illustrator EPS files, those are actually AI files with an EPS file extension. That's what you download from the stock image websites. অরুণ সরকার and Mithferion 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twolane Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) Personally, I cant wait until v2 comes out for the fuss over v3's imminent release that no one from Serif will confirm or deny. 😁 In the meantime, thanks for v1 and all the work I've done with it.

Mithferion Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Just now, N.P.M. said: Even some printingshops here in NL are pointing out to affinity as an alternative, now those big resource sites should be convinced to take af~files into consideration. So praise it to the creative flock and spread the word of the Affinity. As a quick example, DesignCuts has a dedicated section for the Affinity-related Products (most of them are brushes that lso work woith Procreate and Photoshop). So, it's not a one-sided task.

If your Logos are good old vectors with flat colors, something that you could try is the following: Export your file as a PDF Change the file extension to EPS Illustrator might struggle a bit but it will open the file (with editable text included, if you offer your design as a Logo template, for example). It might do the trick for you so that they accept your work. Best regards!

Mithferion Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Also, for those who are interested in using a Shape Builder Tool, today I've found this free web App which includes it. The App is not that intuitive and the Shape Builder Tool has its own way of working, but it might be useful for some. Here is the YouTube channel to see some tutorials. Best regards!
