Chris26 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 These 2 bars of soap are seperate images, not grouped, and they are at the top most layer, above everything else. I have not been able to find out why this shaded box appears around the 2 bars of soap when printed. I have only selected them with the shift key to demonstrate this. First screen shot is the software, second screen shot is the print out, very quickly photographed under tungsten light, otherwise the print itself is of excellent quality..

Don't forget to make multiple copies of your front door key and post them to all who demand access to all the doors inside your home including the windows and outside shed.

Ah the front door key is yours and it only needs to open the front door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Short answer based on your description; This should not be happening. Longer reply; How is the shadow from the bars formed, what kind and size of files are the bars. Are the bars placed or in borderless frames. We would probably need to see the layers pallet or the file to be of further help.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted October 31, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hi Chris26, Looks like an issue due to shadow/flatten transparency. Do you mind attaching/uploading the file for inspection please? Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris26 Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Gentlemen, I solved the problem but I have no idea how, I wish I had kept the original and simply copied the file now. Unfortunately I did not, sorry. I simply made some precise measurements in photoshop so that 20cm length would be exactly 300 PPi and re-imported. Had no problems after that. Though I do not believe this was an issue. So to give as much info as possible from memory: The Shadows were created with affinity's layer effects. The files were each about 2 Mb no more, at 300 PPi, Resource manage places them in at 280 PPi each, saved as Jpegs at maximum quality. The two soap bars were placed directly from my image folder without going through place image or creating a picture frame. I then simply clicked on the page to place them, I did NOT drag the handle and then let go of the mouse. So it's a click on the image name in my folder and then click on the page and move into position and then re-size upwards very slighly, as you can see from the 300 to 281 PPI in resource manager. And here is the layers panel. Sorry. I forgot the most important extra, the background image that covers the whole card had a gradient applied to it via the transparency tool, the grey around the two soap bars actually allowed through (like a window) a part of the background image as if no transparency were applied.
