Low Export Quality!!

[cwmbrancon]

Hi There,

 

I have created a header in Affinity Designer and am looking to export as both a PDF and a JPG or PNG. 

 

The quality of the PDF is fine, but the quality of the JPG and the PNG is awful (and unusable)! I am exporting as a high quality JPG, so can't see what else I can do. I would of course expect some difference moving from vector to pixels, but this seems ridiculous.

 

If I use a screen grab (saved as PNG) on my Mac the quality is fine, so why can't I get this quality from a direct export.

 

Any help appreciated. 

 

Thanks

420 pixels x 134 pixels is a very small image.

 

My screen is 1920, so less than a quarter of that.

 

For litho printing (typically 300 dpi) about one and one third inches.

I would guess this is again the problem and disparity between retina hires display and actual pixel image.

Hi cwmbrancon,

Welcome to Affinity Forums

Can you please post a screenshot of your document setup dialog please (menu File ▸ Document Setup...) with the Dimensions tab visible?

Thanks.

Hi There,

 

Thanks so much for the replies. 

 

I think I've maybe worked it out.

 

The original document was set up at 72dpi. I've resized to 300dpi and the export seems fine. 

 

I would have thought the 72dpi (screen res) would still have looked okay on the screen though? - not an expert so could be completely wrong on this.

Thanks again
