MagicMike912 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Hello, I don´t know how its called in english so I will try to describe my problem. I´m working with a Logo and this Logo is made of different curves. I needed to put some color gradient on it and change up contrast (mask) Now I export it as pdf, svg or eps. But afterwards I whether have a picture or the old curves without the changed colors. So how can I save this in a way other people could use it as curve with the new colors in e.g. Illustrator? Thanks for helping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicMike912 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 Thanks for replying! Thats what I try but all the elements dissapear after saved. When opening the .eps or .pdf document I will only have a "picture". So it´s no more a curve. I don´t get it. If I remember it right it worked in the past. I will attach two screenshots. One where I have the original data with the paths and the second one after saving as eps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I've just done this and it exports and imports fine. Can you upload the .afdesign file and also the eps file you exported.

MagicMike912 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 I feel like it has something to do with export settings. Now I am able to export it as eps with curves as I will attach o this answer. The problem is: it changes back to the original color. Changes ain´t saved.

firstdefence Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Its to do with the adjustment layers, is there reason why you can't just color pick the colour you have created, which is: R:245 G:128 B: 31 I left the eye and ear colour although I think they would look better white R:255 G:255 B:255 Your modified file.

firstdefence Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 These were my export settings for your original file and the file with no adjustment layers. This is just for information I'm sure without the layers you can change these settings to suit your export requirements.

MagicMike912 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 Thanks for your time! So I get your point. But I want to save it with a color gradient in further work. Is that possible as .eps or .pdf without losing paths? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMike912 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 Now after exporting with a gradient I´m getting only the head exported. THis is driving me crazy Logo Klassisch Orange - exported with gradient.eps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Just noticed the gradient, it might work as a PSD file, just working something out at the mo Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

firstdefence Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I think it has to do with the fill tool, so I removed the gradient and used a flat colour and it exported as eps then opened in ADe ok, I also opened the file up in Illustrator.
