Imported PDF pixelated in Photo


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

I recently switched to Affinity and have one major problem in my workflow.

I used to render landscape plans in photoshop and i'm doing this now with photo.
But when importing / placing a pdf the lines become extremely blurry - much more than I'm used from photoshop. Photo is pixel, so a pdf will get pixelated somewhat, but the way photo does this job is really bad. Pdf's in Designer look great, but also the designer file placed in photo gets pixelated awful. So for now I have been stacking my PDF on top of my render in Publisher. But this is not a really satisfying workflow, because of needing multiple  applications to "stitch together" an output is taking a lot of time and gives some restrictions. 

Is this a known problem? How do you solve this issue? And is there a way to convert vector to pixel in a way, that gives a solid quality?

regards,

Beyon

Can you provide example files?

Please check that you are using same size (pixel x/y. DPI) and same zoom factor.

My posts focus on technical aspects and leave out most of social grease like „maybe“, „in my opinion“, „I might be wrong“ etc. just add copy/paste all these softeners from this signature to make reading more comfortable for you. Otherwise I’m a fine person which respects you and everyone and wants to be respected.
