Kasper-V Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 A problem I've just discovered. When I export this text as a jpeg or when I rasterise the Warp group the top of the text is cropped. (There's a slight cropping of the bottom too, but it's barely noticeable.) You can see the effect here . . . Here's the Warp group with the Node tool selected (top), the Move tool (middle) and the rasterised result (bottom). Switching the stroke alignment has some influence, but doesn't solve the problem altogether. The stroke is outside and in front; changing this doesn't look how I want it. I can avoid this by reducing the stroke width, but the appearance is 'thin' and is also not to my liking. I could experiment with different fonts, but I particularly want to use this one! And I want to spend my time getting on with the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasper-V Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 I've also found that altering the zoom level affects how it's displayed, some levels cropping to different amounts, and others not at all.

v_kyr Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I could imagine and it looks like from your screenshots, that during rasterization then the overall surrounding bounding box isn't callculated/setup always correctly here.

lepr Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Workaround: Before creating the Warp, clip-nest the stroked object (text in the example) inside a Rectangle with no stroke and no fill which is large enough to enclose the entire appearance of the object Apply a Warp to the Rectangle Now a rasterisation of the Warp should look correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's going to look even worse if the Warp is already applied before stroke expansion. The Warp bounds are initialised to contain the paths of objects, not the extents of the strokes on the objects.

Didn't try export to JPEG. Now when I try no manual rasterise and export to JPEG the output is also correct, so I do not know why there is a problem for you.

Old Bruce Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I find if I select the Warp Group layer (using the Layers panel just to be safe) and Convert that to Curves I can then Rasterize and trim without losing the outer stroke. Otherwise all bets are off, results range from Fine to [expletive deleted]. All in all I think there is a bug here.

Nowave Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 As another workaround, you can copy and then paste special and choose "scalable vector graphics" (Or SVG if you prefer, that works too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Dan C Posted February 23, 2023 Staff Share Posted February 23, 2023 Hi @Kasper-V & all others here, Thanks for your report and our sincerest apologies for the delayed response here. We are exceptionally busy following the release of V2 and we thank you for your continued patience and understanding here. I can confirm I've been able to replicate a few issues here, with the Warp Group clipping the stroke when rasterising, as well as clipping occurring after converting the text to curves and then expanding the stroke for these curve objects - both of which I've logged with our development team. In regards to the objects being clipped at specific zoom levels, this is already logged with our team so I will be sure to 'bump' this issue with the thread now. I hope this helps!
