Question

vectors rejected

Hello, I've had a lot, a lot, of trouble recentley getting vectors accepted. I have 262 vectors currently so I'm not a novice, but I don't really understand the generic reasons for rejection, and forum comments are not very helpful and sometimes just wrong. I've increased the pixels to 3000 in the shortest dimension, tried saving as SVG and EPS, some get accepted and others not and I still don't know why. One sample enclosed. 

 

I think one way to be accepted is to use Adobe Illustrator. I switched to Affinity because subscription costs are too high.

 

Thanks, Richard Miller

Here's from the rejection reply:

 

  • Your JPEG preview resolution must not be less than 5,000 X 3,000 (15 million pixels)
  • You didn't use anti-aliasing when exporting your vector file to JPEG, so there are problems with lines on the JPEG
  • file.

     

     

Who is making the jpeg preview? I don't see any buttons for that choice. I enlarged all may images and increased the DPi to 300. Some batches were accepted, then the most recent with, as far as I can tell, the same parameters, was rejected. Maybe I should know how to control the preview, I don't see anywhere to do that in either Affinity or Illustrator. Sothere may not be an intentional bias in the reviewing process but somewhere in the secret sauce of the preview creation may raise a flag with a reviewer, maybe just some reviewers. 

Same with anti-aliasing. I know what that is, but since I didn't create the preview I am in the dark.

 

Thanks for your time

OK! I have an answer for you. Your EPS is basically not a vector asset, but an image embedded in the EPS:

I do not know if that is a problem, but the artboard by opening the EPS is an A4. But I think that this is an artefact of Illustrator opening the EPS.

Hmmm,

Well, I have submitted EPS files that were accepted, with similar parameters. I've also done SVG. As I said. I try one format after another. I get 10 or twenty image past the gatekeeper, then for some reason I can't figure out they start being rejected again. 

You may be right about Illustrator making a raster image. I have no idea where it comes from. Is it a preview or the actual image. I have opened my EPS images and they are vectors. Affinity version? 

Thanks for your interest,

Rick

When I zoom in I see a lot of jagged lines and roughly drawn lines and edges.

Yeah, I see the same. Don't know where that preview came from. My file is vector. Somewhere under the hood this is happening. Maybe I should know, but I don't.

Thanks for responding.

Replying on your message via mail, so I do not see your asset. However, moderators are tool blind. So no Illustrator needed.. And yes, sometimes advices you get here are not accurate.
