abra100pro Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 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, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickRose Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 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, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 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, 2023 Author Share Posted March 8, 2023 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, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 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...
