Export => my effects turn into an image


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hi,

In affinity designer, how can I ensure that the bevel and stamp effects remain in vector? Because for me, my problem is that the effect is transformed into an image, it does not remain in vector, even if I export in SVG, I don't understand the problem ? (my software is up to date, I just did it, shouldn't I have ?)

Hello @Clémence and welcome to the forums.

The vector export formats do not recognize the layer effects of the Affinity apps and must therefore be rendered with the corresponding layer.

You could exclude it in the export settings, but then you will get a result without effects.

So why buy defective software? Because even color gradients are exported as images whereas before, it worked very well. I don't believe for a second that Affinity Designer can't handle all of this, it's not that I don't believe you @Komatös, but I would like a response from the team affinity.

@Clémence: A forum usage hint since you're new here: To tag another user, you must type the @ and then start typing their username, and then pick the proper name from the dropdown list that appears. Doing that will give a highlighted field like you see at the beginning of this post. 

What you have done with the two instances in your post just above will not work. (Let alone that you misspelled or translated one of the names :) )

However, continuing the hint, the we are not supposed to tag specific staff members (such as Dan C) who have not already been involved in a topic. Topics create tickets in a tracking system, and an appropriate staff member will pick them up eventually. So, if you had been successful in tagging him, you might simply have caused a different staff member to ask you not to do that.

ok, thanks for the information @walt.farrell , I didn't know about the tags.

Hi @Clémence,

All 'FX' applied within Affinity are not supported in Vector formats and has to be rasterised to a pixel object when exporting, in order to retain fidelity.

This has been true for all Affinity apps since the FX options were first introduced and is not new to the current latest update - therefore the software is not 'defective' in this regard.

If you apply your Gradient using the Gradient Tool, it will remain in Vector where applicable - if you apply a 'Gradient Overlay' through the FX options, these will (and have) always be exported as a rasterised object.

I hope this clears things up.

Hi @Clémence ,

Tous les «  FX  » appliqués dans Affinity ne sont pas pris en charge dans les formats vectoriels et doivent être rastérisés en un objet pixel lors de l'exportation, afin de conserver la fidélité.

Cela est vrai pour toutes les applications Affinity depuis l'introduction des options FX et n'est pas nouveau dans la dernière mise à jour actuelle - le logiciel n'est donc pas « défectueux » à cet égard.

Si vous appliquez votre dégradé à l'aide de l'outil Dégradé, il restera en vecteur le cas échéant. Si vous appliquez une « superposition de dégradé » via les options FX, celles-ci seront (et auront) toujours été exportées en tant qu'objet rastérisé.

J'espère que cela clarifie les choses.

ok, thanks for your response.
