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?

      @Monika Gause Both beta and prerelease give the wrong results with jpeg art optimized. Current and older versions work fine.


      @Ton Frederiks  not correct, current and older versions haven't "worked fine" for years... the fact that you're unable to reproduce the problem doesn't mean there isn't a problem.
