Annukka Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Seems like it doesn't support lineart as InDesign or Illustrator does. If I place a 1-bit lineart with high resolution (600-1200 ppi) in ID, it is automatically transparent and I can place a 300 ppi color file under it. When I export this to a print PDF the bitmap stays a bitmap and retains it's high resolution. This doesn't happen in Publisher, it rasterises the bitmap and I don't get the transparency when placing it which leads me to believe something happens to the file at import. Or is there something I have missed? This feature is essential to illustrators and comics artists. I'm a teacher and would love to be able to recommend your software to my students. Please make it happen in both Designer and Publisher! Thank you, Annukka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 1-bit lineart support has been missing in Affinity software all the time, but in Publisher support for it is essential. Translating bitmaps to RGB is just not the way this should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonofwitz Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Third. This is essential for some graphic work including classic comic book workflow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_K Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 As Fixx has stated we do not support 1bit colour across any of our apps at this point I'm afraid Quote Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padura Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 also AfP do not support bitmap image. I've worked for a while with comics and can not convert grayscale images to bitmaps. It would be essential to have this feature in AF Publisher and Photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
