carlcengiz Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Hey folks, I have a problem:) I created a Christmas card with affinity designer. In affinity, everything looks fine. If I export the file (png or jpg) the text is not sharp. I tried almost everything I found on google, but it doesn't work. Attached the jpg. Can anybody help me out. Thanks Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Welcome to the forums @carlcengiz That text looks okay to me as I’m viewing it but I don’t know what level of ‘sharpness’ you want. Designer draws all vector layers (including font text) on-screen as ‘sharp’ as it can but when you export to a bitmap some detail will be inevitably lost because pixels are inherently ‘fixed-size’. Have you checked the DPI of your document in Document Setup? If it’s low, 72 for example, try upping it to, for example, 300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlcengiz Posted December 2, 2022 Author Share Posted December 2, 2022 Hi Garry, Thank you for the welcome and support. I just checked the settings, DPI is 300. Attached a Screenshot, how the file looks here. This is not satisfying :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palatino Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Für eine bessere Darstellung reichen die Pixel nicht. Wie soll die Grafik verwendet werden? Web? Druck? Format? –––––––––– The pixels are not enough for a better representation. How should the graphic be used? Web? Print? Format? Quote Thanks to DeepL.

GarryP Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 That screenshot looks a lot worse than your earlier image. Which application are you viewing the latest image in, and at what zoom level? Can you give us a screenshot of your Designer export settings? It may be that you have a lower export DPI than the document DPI. (Also, if your document dimensions are very small then that might be causing an issue.) If you can share the AFDESIGN document itself then people can test it on different machines, and check things more quickly, which may help with problem diagnosis.

Das soll eine ecard werden. das Problem ist, auf der Plattform selbst ist das Logo scharf, die Schrift aber schwammig. Der Screenshot zeigt die Datei in der Vorschau auf dem MAC.

Palatino Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Der erste Screenshot zeigt jpg-Artefakte durch (zu) starke Komprimierung. Vielleicht wird der Text auch leicht skaliert, weshalb eine weitere Unschärfe dazukommt. Die Vorschau finde ich okay. ––––– The first screenshot shows jpg artefacts due to (too) strong compression. Perhaps the text is also slightly scaled, which is why another blur is added. I find the preview okay. Quote Thanks to DeepL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palatino Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Mit dem Schieberegler. Vorsicht, in deinem Fall nicht unter 90%. Ein Klick auf „Vorschau“ links unten zeigt das Ergebnis. PNG ist für Schrift besser geeignet. Quote Thanks to DeepL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post a screenshot of your document setup in Designer so we can see exactly what you have to work with in terms of pixels. If your working document is too small in terms of pixels to start with then no amount of extra dpi or lowering compression settings will help.

thomaso Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 @carlcengiz, hast du mal Bikubisch oder Bilinear versucht?
