jdelpt Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Hi, I've got a problem with export persona in AFD2... I've made a video to explain it. In fact I have a box around my elements that make my export bigger than wanted and I can't explain why... I'm sure I'm missing something but I need your help to find what. Thanks in advance, Julien Enregistrement de l’écran 2023-10-16 à 16.39.13.mov Quote
walt.farrell Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. If you look at the Transform panel you can see that you have items that are on non-integer X and Y pixel positions, and/or have non-integer pixel dimensions. Both of those can cause an export to show a pixel or two bigger in dimension than you expected. I suggest checking the application Settings, User Interface, and increasing the number of decimal places that are displayed for pixel measurements to at least 3, then ensuring that the X, Y, W, and H values shown in the Transform panel for the items are all integers.

jdelpt Posted October 16, 2023 Author Posted October 16, 2023 Thanks for your quick answer ! I tried and aligned to the integer pixel values. The problem is still the same. I made a new video to show you my problem. I have a kind of "bigger frame" around each element... Enregistrement de l’écran 2023-10-16 à 17.05.12.mov walt.farrell 1 Quote
Hangman Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Hi @jdelpt and another warm welcome to the forums, In addition to what @walt.farrell mentions above regarding pixel alignment, I suspect the issue is related to either Adjustment Layers or the addition of FX. Could you upload your file or just a subset of the file so we can take a look at the actual cause... walt.farrell 1 Quote Affinity Designer 2.6.3 | Affinity Photo 2.6.3 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.3 MacBook Pro M3 Max, 36 GB Unified Memory, macOS Sonoma 14.6.1, Magic Mouse HP ENVY x360, 8 GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 5 2500U, Windows 10 Home, Logitech Mouse
jdelpt Posted October 16, 2023 Author Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) Here it is ! The problem for the bottom right and right icons was because of a adjustment layer. For the top icon, I can't find the reason... Thanks for all... export pb.afdesign Edited October 16, 2023 by jdelpt Quote
Hangman Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Hi @jdelpt, You have the addition of a seemingly unnecessary rectangle which once removed should fix the slice size issue but only after removing the FX you have applied so you may need to rastierise the FX layers...

jdelpt Posted October 16, 2023 Author Posted October 16, 2023 This rectangle is to have the good sizes for my export in export persona. If I remove it, I still have in export persona the big rectangle around the carton-the-menthe layer... Quote

If you need to keep the rectangle you could perhaps nest the layer inside another layer that is the size of the slice you need...

Old Bruce Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 I added some masks to the groups. This introduces the problem of clipping the effect, the outer glow. So you'll have to adjust them for those two which have the outer glow added. export pb w masks.afdesign When using effect layers you run into the problem of either including the resized group's apparently empty space (which has only the effect) or clipping the effect off abruptly. Oh, and Walt's advice about Pixel alignment is extremely important.

jdelpt Posted October 16, 2023 Author Posted October 16, 2023 I'm so sorry, the problem was the external blur... Thanks again for your help ! The AF tools are so great !!! Quote
