rjmusto Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 HI, I am very new to the vector drawing idea, so exploring my way slowly. I have a contributor account with Shutterstock and have tried creating some simple vector drawings for submission. One problem I have is that if I use the Gradient Tool to create shading, then the EPS files submmitted to Shutterstck are always rejected, probably due to some rasterising issue. (I do select rasterise nothing in the export dialogue). I know Shutterstock can be very picky about these things, so is there some set procedure to follow on AD that can make this work? Thanks.

Hokusai Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 rjmusto, Hello, there have been some issues in the past with gradients that get rasterised when saved as an EPS. I don't know if the issues were ever resolved. Here is a great thread to read with plenty of information about the topic: Hokusai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjmusto Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 Hi Hokusai, Thanks a lot for the response - and for the link: very helpful. So it seems that AD is just not capable of exporting shading/gradients in EPS in a way that is reliable for stock images. Pity, I like AD (and AP).

Staff MEB Posted August 24, 2017 Staff Share Posted August 24, 2017 Hi rjmusto, Welcome to Affinity Forums As you probably read on that thread there was a couple improvements introduced in version 1.6 (currently in Beta). I advise you to download it from here (it's usually pinned at the top of the respective section) and check if it does help/solve the issues you are having.

MikeW Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Still doesn't work...as far as I tested anyway...in the 1.6 Windows beta, MEB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted August 24, 2017 Staff Share Posted August 24, 2017 Thanks for looking into it Mike I haven't checked this myself yet and was hoping there was some imrpovements. If it doesn't work on Windows it's probably falling on Mac as well (i will check it there).

MikeW Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 No worries, MEB. That is one of the things I check with each beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
