I am having trouble exporting my SVG as a PostScript file. Basically, it changes some parts of the image and fills them with black.
Actually this file exhibits several problems, some of which I fixed, some are unfixable, and some may be fixable but not fixed yet.
- The black parts ARE black yet use transparency, but PS does not
support transparency, so they become opaque. Never use transparency if you are going to export to PS. It"s very easy to fix this however: select one of the transparent objects on the camel; switch to the Dropper tool (F7); make sure it"s in the "pick visible color without alpha" mode; click on that same object. That will pick the visible color and assign it back to the object, but this time without transparency. Repeat for all transparent objects.
And why not convert automatically the transparent areas to a bitmap when exporting a PS? We can't always does the "Dropper tool trick" with complex transparencies. This is the way Freehand and Illustrator does it.
