Had this problem forever, only the project I am currently working on, its a critical issue...
I'm currently exporting some vector art as a png file to be printed later. (I've also exported as jpg, same issue).And, this applies to exporting the same art from Draw or Paint.
The entire image is clearly checked to be the required pixel dimensions, and yet the saved file is always 1-2px larger (both axis).I can draw a simple outline box, any colour outline, any thickness outline, even invisible outline...set the pixel dimensions...and export...and the saved image will be 1-2px larger.
I have to pre-think, and reduce the border dimensions by at least 1px (both directions) for the saved image to be the correct pixel dimensions I need.
Why is this?I remember seeing this in previous verions of Corel, and as I said, I can export as png or jpg...I can also copy the art into Paint, and then export as.The end result is the same.
Does your art have an outline assigned?
actually, no.
Im designing a set of playing cards. So the artwork is within a blank card template. But I have to supply a finished image for each card, with white (blank) background, to the correct size (a specified pixel dimension) for printing purposes.
At first, I created the background blank simply as a rectangle object (no colour fill - it will be displayed as white when saved to file) and I made the outline a very light gray so I could still see it.8the edges of the template are beyond the printing and bleed border, so the colour doesn't matter.When I first ran into problems with the saved file being too large, I changed the outline to 'none' assuming that would fix it, but it didn't (now we know why).
