MikeW Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Likely you need to select the entire original art and in the stroke panel, check the box for Scale with object. Then make a copy, scale the art down and the line widths will scale as well. Then copy to the other positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchshader Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 From the screenshot: it is not a vector file, but a raster file. You should export the original file as a svg or pdf, not jpg or png.

thomaso Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 You sent a pixel file. Also in your layer panel it says "(image)" next to your illustration. That means it is a pixel graphic, not vector and therefore not as smooth as expected from your original.

A_B_C Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 What you see looks pretty normal to my eyes. You must imagine that your screen is a raster-based device. That means, the vector information of your drawing has to be rasterised in order to appear on screen. And when you scale down your artwork like you did, there will be less pixels available to represent your vector information (remember, the screen pixels don’t get smaller when you shrink your artwork). Hence, you will have the impression of losing image quality. Hope that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Maybe this older thread (or post) could be of interest for you: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/19362-jagged-lines-at-certain-angles/&tab=comments#comment-89955 It’s not precisely the same question, but it will give you an idea of the rasterisation requirement.

The request was that you upload your .afdesign file, not a file you exported from it. and as MikeW said, he meant the fox and leaves file, since that's the one we've been talking about.

Can someone please check it out export it and let me how it is please to see if I did something wrong. Social Media Icons.afdesign If you're asking why the image gets blurry if someone makes it smaller, consider: Your .afdesign document specifies a DPI of 72 pixels per inch. The .png you showed us of the Facebook icon is 80px by 80px, and just over an inch square. That's not very many pixels. So my first question would be, how do they make it smaller? I can think of two ways they could do that: Reduce the number of pixels. If they make it 36px by 36px it will be about 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch. But it has 1/4 of the pixels, and unless if it's viewed at any zoom > 100% yes, it will be blurry because there's not much data there. Keep the same number of pixels, but make it 144dpi. Then it will also be about 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch, but at its native size it will be sharper than what they started with (more pixels in a smaller area), and they could zoom it to 200% and still have the sharpness of your original. So I think the real questions are: What are you trying to do? What are the users going to do? And what constraints do you really have on what you need to produce? Also, could you give them a vector image? Or does it have to be raster? socialconnection 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socialconnection Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 HI Thank you so much for your nice answer. 1- What I want to is to sell gigs on Fiverr and more. So I need to design logo, minimalis logo, and illustration to sell. 2- I like Affinity and I like to design, But i do not really no how export them well. 3- When users order they ask me for Victor logo and raster image. 4- They order logo for social media and for websites too. 5- I send an screenshot where my Pattern is not blurry but when I export it, it came out blurry. 6- My dream right now is to be able to save mydesing to high resolution after I finish to design them so that you can open them in anywhere so that they not blurry.

We cannot really help you with that unless you give us the file, not a screenshot. MikeW asked you for the file earlier, and you gave us the social media icons instead.
