![]() Of course, PaintCode has its drawbacks, such as the UI code it generates, which is not necessarily the most efficient, and the formal version costs money. In addition, PaintCode is an excellent prototyping tool that helps us quickly create initial demos of our apps. Saves a lot of time adjusting UI resources. With PaintCode we just need to tweak the preview view and update the generated code. For example, when we adjust some small ICONS, we need to re-export the pictures every time we make a small modification, which consumes energy. UI resources generated using Paint Code don't need to do this. For example, when we use image resources, we need to provide 3X versions of the same image with different resolutions. But I got down to it and I found something with PaintCode.įirst of all, PaintCode generates Core Graphics code, so there is no need to worry about the resolution compatibility of images on different devices. I believe many friends will have the same question, including myself in the beginning also had such a question. So, by now, the question is, why am I using it? Wouldn't it be nice to just use images as resource files and load them in code? PaintCode's interface is very neat and beautiful. Once downloaded and installed, we can open it and see its main screen: ![]() Let's take a closer look.įirst, visit PaintCode's website to download the tool: After skilled use, will be able to greatly improve our development efficiency. With PaintCode, you can integrate UI elements directly into your APP through code without using images. On screen, they look fine to me.PaintCode provides a new way to handle iOS APP resources. I cannot upload here the SLA (scribus 1.5) and PDF: I've now created a transparent PNG with a black rectangle filling part of it and a black RGB shape in Scribus that is below the image. When a ripper flattens a PDF, it normally does it in a "stupid" way and you simply get a solid color.Įdit (since I cannot upload files in a reply): There is one thing you have to make sure: the whole printing workflow should support PDF with transparencies (or you should have a "clean" flattening at some time). But it was almost always on white backgrounds. Or fill the background with the same color as you have in the final document (and change the frame's shape in Scribus so that you don't hide parts of your document).įinally, I've done a lot printing on office printers with PDF 1.4, PNGs and transparencies and I never had any issues. On the other side, if you want to switch to a CMYK workflow, you can use a TIFF with transparencies. That should also work with PNG and transparencies (as far as I know, it's based on 1.4).īut the whole printing workflow should then really support PDF X-4. If you're printing on a home / office laser printer, you should probably go for a PDF 1.4. You should probably not directly print from Scribus. One important thing: always first create a PDF and then print that PDF. ![]() Now, you're not saying how you're printing. Of course, if you want to be sure that the colors are matching, you'll have to setup a color managed workflow (and activate the color profiles). PNG (and RGB) can be really fine in a print workflow. I guess it's not a transparency problem as everything works fine when background is cyan, and I am completely stuck so any help/suggestions would be welcome on this. Activated color management - but there I am not sure what to do further.Switch to overprint properties - no improvement.Checked all pictures properties for knock out properties.Downloaded Scribus 1.5 to export to PDF X-4 - no improvement.Used Rick black - worst: contrast is even more marked.Created my own black with 100% K - no improvement.I tried several thing which did not work. I am printing after export to pdf using my office printer: All my pictures appear on print to be frame with black which is slightly different that of the background one (not the case in the pdf). Now I switched to a black background and here started the problems. First, the general background of the document was set to cyan and there was no problem. I have several pictures with transparent backgrounds (png). I am currently realizing a poster with Scribus (I am a beginner) and run into troubles while printing with black background.
