tariq Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I bought Affinity Photo and Designer and want to support a great competitor to Adobe. I have run into a problem .. I wonder if you can help? I have an original design in Adobe Illustrator format - attached. backprop_error_example2.ai I have an export to PNG from Adobe ... also attached. Then I have a PNG export from Affinity Designer after it loads the AI file - also attached. You can see that: the quality of the text rendering is not as good the colours are not accurate (see the big rectangular blocks) the brushes (object outlines) are not that accurately reflected, they are too "heavy / bold" When importing I made sure "favour editable text over fidelity" is NOT ticked. I want fidelity. Not sure what this actually dees. On export I selected Lanczos not bilinear to improve partially the rendering. Some have said elsewhere that text should be converted to curves .. which I don't really want to do .. but as a test I did. The image is attached. converting text to curves (Layer -> Convert to Curves) then exporting as PNG has no significant effect. Any ideas? Going forward I'd like to start new designs with Designer but unfortunately I have a legacy of AI files and I need their output to be consistent with previous exports. Thanks in advance.

MikeW Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 This is a screen shot of both the AI- and AD-produced PNG images when viewed at 100%. They are identical in quality and color values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tariq Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Thanks MikeW ... are you really sure? I triple checked and the files are different for me. I've viewed the two files at 100% in Affinity Photo, Adobe Photoshop, MacOS Preview and they all show them as different - different text rendering and different colours.
