Question

Angled Linked images pixelated ONLY on export

Hi, I've been dealing with this for a long time, since export replaced the old "save for web" command.

 

When I have linked images placed at ANY angle different from 0º the exported artboard results in pixelation.

 

This doesn't happen if I use the legacy Save For Web command. This is makes the multiple artboard export completelly useless, because if I want to avoid pixelation, I have to export every artboard individually.

 

This also happens to EMBEDDED images which I don't use since it makes the file size too big and slow.

 

I'm attaching two images of the same file, one was created with EXPORT command and the other with SAVEFORWEB.

    Bump. This is still an issue.
    Is there a workaround for as long as this problem persists?

    And use Export > Save for Web as workaround

    What are the anti-aliasing settings when you export? Do you use art optimized?

      I can't reproduce that with Export for screens.

      Can you post your settings and also the origional image you placed in Illustrator? Maybe even the AI file together with the palced image?


      This are the files I'm using for this example, but this happens to me with all files and images, on all my computers, since Save for Web became "Legacy"... fingers crossed it's never actually removed from Illustrator. 

       

      Can't attach the .ai file... I can send it to you directly if you want.
