mararn1618 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Hi guys, I am importing an .ai file into Affinity Designer, which gives me bad results. Compared to a preview image I have of the file, the imported file looks extremely pixelated within Affinity Designer. I suspect that this is due to layer masks, which affinity doesn't seem to import correctly. It looks to me that those are pixel layers for which Affinity chose a resolution that is way too low. Any Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan C Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hi mararn1618, Welcome to the forums When importing .ai files we read the embedded PDF stream, meaning we can only import support PDF properties. Could you please provide a copy of the .ai file so I can investigate this for you? mararn1618 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mararn1618 Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) Hey Dan, thanks for your reply and taking care. I'll share the file via DM, since I cannot diclose it on a public forum for licensing reasons. Hope that works for you! Edit: I see that I cannot DM you. Does it work when you DM me first or do you have another alternative in mind?

Dan C Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Thanks for that, this is happening due to the transparent gradients applied in Illustrator. Unfortunately these aren't compatible with Affinity apps, hence the pixel mask that is applied to each object. AFAIK there's no workaround for this at this time, as I've tried exporting as other formats from Illustrator and the objects are either fully rasterised or masked, my apologies.
