Darius | Ethos Studio Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I'm trying to export a vector image which is 600x200 pixels at 300DPI. Within the image is a square picture that I've masked within a circle shape, with an exposure and brightness/contrast adjustment. Whenever I export to PNG, JPG or TIFF, not only is the overall image quite blurry, but the circle is very pixellated around the edges. If someone could please advise what I should do I would really appreciate it, as I've been scratching my head over this for much too long!

Staff Lee D Posted May 16, 2019 Staff Share Posted May 16, 2019 The pixellation will be occurring as the document is being rasterised during the export stage. After exporting are you viewing at 100% or a higher zoom level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius | Ethos Studio Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 Thanks for your prompt response. I think the blurriness is down to viewing at a higher zoom level, but the pixelation around the circle is visible regardless of zoom level. If I rasterise the circle in Designer it also pixellates around the edge of the shape even at 100%. I’m designing a signature to use in my e-mail client, and have used the dimensions suggested. So why does the image also appear blurry on my e-mail client, as this is surely displayed at 100%? I have tried using larger dimensions but it just ends up taking up too much space (the size cannot be adjusted in my e-mail client) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is probably because a 600 x 200 pixel rasterized version of your logo doesn't provide sufficient pixel resolution to avoid blurring its fine details.

John Rostron Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Possibly,, if you convert your vector logo to a larger-resolution bitmap (1200 x 400), then Resize down to 600 x 200 it may apply some anti-aliasing (depending on the re-sizing algorithm) which would reduce the apparent pixilation.

Darius | Ethos Studio Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 Bizarrely, I just opened the same Designer project on my iPad Pro rather than my desktop and exported from there and the pixelating problem vanishes. I'm still getting a blurred image on the e-mail client though, so I'll take John's suggesion and see how that works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius | Ethos Studio Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 Absolutely no luck with the blurriness of the image, and I'm completely out of ideas. Very frustrating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
