I see now why I did not upload the example source before. It was using a compiled Survex .3d file as the source of the survey station positions. I have sorted that out now, with the required fragment of the cave used in the example now included in the .th file. The example source project for my

One thing more: I save rendered files as TIFF without compression. The reasons are - there is no problem to manipulate with gigabyte files today, the RIP (program to print) must raster the vector format or decompress the JPG file. TIFF file is more fast. To add appropriate ICC profile is

Photoshop - raster to image. I use it for years. Resolution depends on printer you will use: Canon and HP 300/600 dpi, Epson 360 dpi. Both for final size!. The reason is print in native resolution of printing head and don't make interpolations. m. Dec 16, 2013 v 5:56 AM, Bruce : >> But for

Ah, that makes much more sense. I'll see if I can find the once from my examples. They will be somewhere as I never delete anything! Footleg On 15 December 2013 21:54, Wookey wrote: > [bloody top-posters - rearranging to make sense] > > Footleg [2013-12-15 21:29 +] wrote: > > Wookey

It's strange, but I thought that the whole point of pdf was that the document would present in identical fashion across displays and platforms. Has anyone tried printing from different rendering engines & seeing in what ways the results differ? Screen display is all very well, but if you are

And as for the Therion source I used to render these, it would have been whatever the current Windows executable was current at the date I put them onto the wiki (the wiki history should be able to tell you that). Not that I think it will make any difference between most recent builds of Therion.

Thanks Martin, I sent my earlier reply from my phone which had not picked up Bruce's reply at that time. So I did not know the question had been answered. Interesting info about that PDF reader bug. I had not seen that before. The example renderings on the wiki from various readers were generated

I am almost certain that this is one pdf reader rendering transparency, and one cannot handle it. The boulders are partly transparent in the Therion generated pdf, so in the reader which can render this, they will appear darker due to the passage background colour showing through from underneath
