Nikson Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Oh yeah! Exporting an EPS is so important for microstock illustrators. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/2167-affinity-designer-for-microstock-contributors/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Have you tried this with the latest public beta? The EPS export was rewritten for that. If so, could you attach an Affinity document that shows the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Harris Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Uria aagle, I don't think you are talking about the same problem as Mediafuel. Let's keep discussion of your issue in the thread you linked to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mediafuel Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 Hi Dave Harris. Thank you for your reply. I have been using public beta 1.0.21212. I have attached my AD file to the original post. A few things I noticed... 1. I exported an EPS two separate times from this file, one directly after the other. Both times produced something different in the finder view. Usually there is a preview of the file image. When exporting a file in v1.1.2 you get to see the whole image in the finder preview. With the public beta i got a partial image of the AD image (portions of the image were either missing or had been changed from black to white), and the second export gave me an EPS icon with no preview of my file. 2. I originally started in RGB but changed to CMYK in the document setup. The beta crashed twice when I started to change some of my colours using the CMYK sliders. 3. The EPS I am exporting is being opened in Corel Draw. When viewing the document from CD, some of the stroke join and align setting appear to have been changed i.e. a shape that ends in a sharp point ends up with a flattened cap.

Dave Harris Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Thanks, Mediafuel, that will help. Unfortunately I'm now out of the office, and I won't be able to look at this until after Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Harris Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Mediafuel, I've had a look at this and found two bugs in our EPS export of CMYK. The first meant it got most of the colours wrong, so the content became white on white and effectively invisible. The second meant that it got rasterised images wrong, which led to the pattern you can see. These will be fixed in the next beta. The rasterising happened because the layer named "Daisys" has an opacity of 99%. I'm guessing that's a mistake and you intended 100%. If you fix that and export with the current beta, you get a result you might be able to use if the destination app can recolour the background to black.

Yes the 99% opacity setting was not intended. Yes, the destination app was used to make corrections and we are good to go. I have not got to the bottom of destination app changing/seeing different stroke join/align options upon import. I have to submit a revision of the project mid Jan so will see if I can reproduce.
