abra100pro Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 left: Affinity canvas, right PDF in Preview – the arrows seem to become expanded (same look as when I expand stroke in AD😞 Update: I found out that it had to do with Mitre 1.5 - I set it to 1 and that did the trick (1 is much better in many cases, btw.) But I still consider it a bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abra100pro Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 Dear Serif I find myself strongly remembered of my last days at Adobe – I am really not sure whether V2 is ready for productional work (though: I feel like having an answer) I spent 16hrs on a design that I found many flaws and bugs while making – some of them I have reported, but not all. Now, I have come to export my work only to find that in a pure verctor based work some areas (the ones with warping in it) are pixelated in the EPS and PDF exports. They are not usable and I have no clue how I can send this work to the customer, now. I know that bashing around in forums is not a good solution for anything. But on the other hand I feel let down, not knowing how I can hold my deadline not to mention my time/money-ratio. Clueless...

MickRose Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Hi @abra100pro it looks like there is some transparency in your document, and I wonder if that is causing the problem with rasterization. Have you tried different PDF settings? Perhaps you could upload a file containing some of your document (where the problem persists) so people can have a look and try to find out why the rasterization is happening.

loukash Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Don't use layers/objects as masks. Clip instead. (Muss leider grad aus dem Haus, sonst würde ich es etwas genauer anschauen und erklären.)

abra100pro Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 Clipping a warped group leads to a warping of the clip-element itself. I think that is not the solution or did I oversee something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abra100pro Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 I really consider this a bug and would appreciate a confirmation. In the meantime I deconstruced the warp and made every single line by hand – that's not the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is not the solution or did I oversee something? I see a vector mask on a Warp Group gets warped and that does seem wrong. However, if you clip a Warp Group, the clipping object does not get warped. See attached screenshot of clipping with an Ellipse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
