[solved] How to Export Vector with Filters

Postby PippyPie » Sun Nov 13, 2016 7:02 am

Hello,

I have a color vector file that I converted to greyscale using the greyscale filter. I need to export it as a vector file but unless I rasterize the effects on export it shows up as the original full color. If I rasterize I lose the vector.

How can I retain the vector while keeping the greyscale effect of the filter?

Thanks!

Hi.

Simple answer is you can't.

Instead of filtering, use the grayscale extension (extension/color/grayscale).
