CT15 Posted March 20, 2024 Posted March 20, 2024 Hello, I'm having this issue when exporting a PDF for print. These white boxes appear on layers that Ive use an "invert" adjustment. I only see these boxes when exporting svg or pdf. However if I just add a black background, PDF preview doesn't show these white boxes. Any idea why? Thanks in Advance Quote

CT15 Posted March 20, 2024 Author Posted March 20, 2024 Thank you for your quick reply. I did create the rough elements in affinity photo, so they should be raster. I will see how I can modify this effect. Thanks again. Quote
CT15 Posted March 20, 2024 Author Posted March 20, 2024 Just a follow up question. Is that a normal thing that happens when using the "erase" transparency mode? Or is it because Im using that mode with a vector layer above a rasterized layer? Quote
loukash Posted March 20, 2024 Posted March 20, 2024 For the record, "Erase" will always rasterize. Adjustments and certain other layer blend modes will also always rasterize. If you want to have vector export, use compound subtract: CT15 1 Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Sonoma > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 18 > Affinity v2
CT15 Posted March 20, 2024 Author Posted March 20, 2024 Thanks for this. I normally do so when using two vector objects. Just found it weird that it wouldn't export as is, but when only adding a black background, no white boxes appear on PDF export. Even with the layer using erase blend mode. Quote
