AdamStanislav Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I was browsing the forum outside the Beta section and noticed someone offering free AD brushes. So, I downloaded them, just to see if they would install and install they did. Then I just did some scribbles to see how they work. I saved the result, then exported it it to JPG, which worked as expected: Then I exported to SVG, but that only showed the strokes without the brushes: Brushes.svg Brushes.afdesign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamStanislav Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 Thank you, Arun. I did use it. The exported SVG file even contains a number of embedded PNG images. So, it looks like a bug to me. For the record, it was the vector brushes from this forum post that I used. Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 30, 2016 Staff Share Posted July 30, 2016 Hi AdamStanislav, The reason why they are exported as images/raster is because the brushes are based on a raster image which is stretched or repeated (depending on the settings) along a vector path. They are not fully vector objects. You can easily check this if you select one of the Brushes then click the menu icon on the right of the dropdown in the Brushes panel. You can see the original image/texture used on the bottom. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamStanislav Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 Hi AdamStanislav, The reason why they are exported as images/raster is because the brushes are based on a raster image which is stretched or repeated (depending on the settings) along a vector path. I know, but that is not what I was talking about. The problem is that they are rasterized incorrectly. In my OP I have included a .jpg of what it looks like when exported to a JPEG, which is correct; then a .png of what the SVG looks like, which is incorrect. I only mentioned the rasters inside the SVG to point out I did export it correctly and despite it creating rasters, those rasters are wrong, or at least appear to be in every single SVG host (and I have quite a few) I have viewed the SVG in. I have even enclosed the SVG so you can see for yourself what it looks like. FWIW, I used the for the web preset (72 dpi) when exporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
