IDN Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I'm creating email signature images in Affinity, including text element. I've tried numerous ways of exporting the image, straight to JPEG and to PDF first then JPEG. They always end up blurred. There must be a way to do this. Any suggestions? Image needs to end up 4cm wide. Can I not convert the vector image to a certain size before exporting to keep the quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 25, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 25, 2019 Hi IDN, Welcome to Affinity Forums How have you created these images? Are they vector or raster based? If raster what's their original size? And to what size in pixels must you export them? If the image is too small there may not be enough pixels to resolve/present all detail with enough clarity. Affinity doesn't support any text antialiasing options so other than tweaking the text manually to better fit the pixel grid you may have to resample the images and eventually sharpen them a little... Some more details would help to advise you better. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDN Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Hi MEB, They are vector images. I have tried exporting a numerous pixel values from 450 width to 1800 width and find the same problem. your sentence - Affinity doesn't support any text antialiasing options so other than tweaking the text manually to better fit the pixel grid you may have to resample the images and eventually sharpen then a little..- Do you mean recreating the image in the right size from the start before export?
