(I found a similar question in this forum through google but it wont let me view it, probably cause its old since 2015)

 

Hi all,

Im working on AI and I'm using a custom made brush that looks like a pencil.

Switching between GPU and CPU preview, the looks change. The GPU is more pixelated, and I like the end result more this way, however when I export its coming out like the CPU view version.

 

Is there a way I can export it and make it match the GPU looks & charateristics? I know I can take a screen shot, but that will loose the vector, size, etc

 

(edit) Comparison image attached

thanks in advance

    As every helper answering so far has said/implied, viewing artwork in GPU is sometimes misleading, and the artwork itself remains unchanged.

     

    When you say "I wish there was an EXPORT GPU preview option,"  the crucial part is

     

    preview,

     

    Your desired look is what is seen on screen, and hopefully that is the key:

     

    You can try to create a screenshot (PNG) of/including the desired GPU preview appearance and use (the relevant part of) that instead of exporting the artwork (to a(nother) raster format in any case), if it is possible to get the desired resolution/image size.

    I have the same issue...

    GPU preview is the "new" default view ;-/

    I don't like it, it smooths out the preview offering a deceptive view of the final output, and introduces glitches in the preview.

    The CPU Preview delivers a more realistic view of the final output and *I* prefer it. I want to see warts and all, not an idealized version.

    Is there a way to make CPU Preview the preferred preview mode?

    Rather a pain to keep switching it everytime I open a file!

    Sure I can disable the GPU, but I'd like to keep it working on whatever it is doing to speed things up in the background, just give me CPU Preview...

    The GPU preview difference is a bug. It sometimes does not represent the true image. I'd suggest altering your custom brush to match the "GPU" appearance in "CPU" preview.

    I have this same problem,  and thought I could alter the brush to have hte same look as the GPU, but there's really no way.  I wish there was an EXPORT GPU preview option,  similar to options for HINTED and SUPER SAMPLE options. That would actually be a great place to put such an option.

    What format are you exporting to? Which method and settings?

     

    Would it be possible to show us screenshots of the CPU/GPU versions, and the exported file?

    Hi,

    I'm exporting to PDF high quality preset.

    I can try to save a comparison and upload here if it helps

     

    *edit*

    adding screen shots as request

    left side GPU, right CPU

    as you can see the left side is more pixelated, and in this particular case i'm looking to emulate pencil brush strokes, which for my personal preferences gives a better result.

    If you want vector artwork to look rougher, you will need to roughen it.
