PeterPeterPeter Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Hey there, so i was exporting and the export came out incomplete. One pic is a screenshot from affinity designer, the outher is the exported image. Anyone have a possible solution for this problem? (it also cuts off parts of the design depending on the zoom i use...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPeterPeter Posted September 21, 2022 Author Share Posted September 21, 2022 this export shows it even better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPeterPeter Posted September 22, 2022 Author Share Posted September 22, 2022 thanks for the idea, sadly that didnt do anything for me, export is still missing pieces of the design.... ("Odds are the Artboards are not placed on integer pixel locations. I will wager that the problem JPEGs have an extra pixel for width. Turn on Force Pixel Alignment and turnoff Move By Whole Pixels, then move the artboards around a little bit. Save and export again.")

Are you on Windows? - If yes, tryout & check if disabling the as default enabled hardware acceleration under the app performance preferences settings might possibly change this behavior.

Maybe some Win ADe user has another idea!

It could be useful that you upload the problematic .afdesign file to the forum for others / devs to check.

joe_l Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 @PeterPeterPeter What a joyride! How did you do these strange ellipses? They looked strange the way the boxes are. After converting ellipses to curves the output looked fine to me. Quote ---------- Windows 10 / 11, Complete Suite Retail and Beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt wanted to convert them to curves because it seemed like a destructive workflow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any specific reason for using the Contour Tool? I changed a few things without a Contour and still being an ellipse with no problem so far (had to turn of Antialiasing for some areas). So I would say the Contour Tool is causing the problem. Quote ---------- Windows 10 / 11, Complete Suite Retail and Beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I would say the Contour Tool is causing the problem. hm well, i wanted to experiment with the Contour Tool a bit and beside the export it was working perfectly fine. So i guess in order to keep using the Contour Tool i have to convert the shapes into curves at some point? That kinda sucks but ok... thanks for helping out joe_l 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
