EPS import: CMYK images keep their ink amounts
The PostScript interpreter that reads EPS and PostScript files turned the samples of a CMYK image into display RGB and stored an RGBA PNG, so the image lost its ink amounts. The DCTDecode filter decoded a CMYK JPEG to RGB, so it lost its ink amounts too. The PDF importer keeps the ink amounts of 8- and 16-bit CMYK images (in a CMYK TIFF, or the CMYK JPEG itself). A CMYK image (image or colorimage in DeviceCMYK, CIEBasedDEFG or a four-component ICCBased space) now keeps its samples in a CMYK TIFF (ImageBlob::cmyk_tiff), read through its Decode array, at every bit depth the interpreter reads. A CMYK JPEG gives its samples as stored, and the image's Decode array reads them: [1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0] undoes the inverted samples of Adobe's CMYK JPEGs. The pixels that a MaskColor or an ImageType 3 mask hides become a grayscale opacity mask over the image, as in PDF import. A mask that hides nothing adds no mask. Gray, RGB, indexed and spot color images and image masks stay RGBA PNGs. Docs: docs/file-format-parity.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.

A PDF page whose `UserUnit` (PDF 1.6) is above 1 opens at its size in points, its numbers times the `UserUnit` (one above 75,000 counts as 75,000), and `document.pdfInfo` gives its size and boxes in points too. A `.ai` whose editing data has its artboards in the units of such a page opens from that data at the page's size, with its layers, and when the layers can't be read its pages still take the artboard layout of the data, scaled the same way (part of #1482).
|
||||
Placed (linked) files in a `.ai`'s editing data come in as linked images in their place, each showing the low-resolution preview the file keeps of it until its file is found or relinked in the Links panel (a file found next to the document or at its path is read as the document opens). A file with them no longer falls back to its PDF part, so its guides, sublayers and hidden objects open (#1264; `crates/eps/src/import/ai/tests.rs`, `crates/engine/src/tests_links.rs`). In a file opened that way, a gradient with stops in the middle runs its whole ramp across its shape and a gradient object no longer passes its fill to the next path (#1390); text objects with an appearance keep their own text and frame, type of hidden layers stays hidden, and type on later artboards lands on its text objects (#1391); area type whose frame is too short for a line of the fallback font shows its first line, the frame made taller with a warning in the open result (#1392).

- EPS and DXF in and out, EMF/WMF in and out; PNG (with PNG-8), JPEG, WebP, GIF, TIFF, BMP, Targa and layered PSD export; grayscale TIFFs with an alpha channel or other extra channels place, relink and open, the alpha as the image's transparency (#1466 in part; CCITT Group 3 and planar files with extra channels are not read); PSD and PSB files open and place, linked or embedded, as their merged image in every colour mode and depth (#918). EPS import runs a PostScript Level 3 interpreter written from the PostScript Language Reference: resource categories and `resourceforall`, local and global VM (`currentglobal`/`setglobal`/`gcheck`), `clipsave`/`cliprestore`, subarrays and substrings that share storage, the standard dictionaries in `systemdict`, `dictstack`, `internaldict`, executable filters and strings, `load` by any key, `//name` immediate names, `token`, `execform`, user paths, `cshow`, `rootfont`, `cachestatus`, colour rendering and halftone queries, file `status` and data read with `flushfile`, and `pdfmark` marks dropped (Discord feedback, #466, #469, #474). Masked images (`ImageType 3` in its three interleavings) and reusable streams are read, and an image's several data sources are read in turn, as the reference defines (procedures that read one file get their own rows: such images came in banded, #498). `restore` puts dictionaries back as they were at the `save`, so programs that count their saves in a dictionary read to their end (part of #505). Tiling patterns come in as pattern swatches, uncoloured ones too; Type 3 fonts' glyphs as their outlines, spaced by `ashow`/`widthshow`/`xshow`/`kshow`; mesh and function-based shadings (types 1, 4–7) as gradient meshes; sampled functions (type 0) and Flate/LZW predictors are read. It is tested with programs written from the specification in the ways common generators use these features; Inkscape/cairo EPS files open as vectors. When a file's PostScript still can't be read, it opens as its TIFF preview, its Windows metafile preview (as vectors) or its EPSI preview, and the warning (in the status bar, `document.open`/`app.open`/MCP `open_file` replies and `vectorcraft-cli info`) names the error, the operator that raised it and the procedures it ran in. Legacy PostScript `.ai` files (Illustrator 3–8, written with the prolog that defines their operators) keep their groups and nested groups (`u` … `U`), between and inside clipping groups; EPS and EMF/WMF import nest clips (and groups) at most 128 deep, so a hostile file can't exhaust the stack. DXF TEXT justified Fit or Aligned spans its two points (stretched, or scaled as a whole). PDF export writes type as real, searchable text in embedded subset fonts by default, as Illustrator's PDF presets do (Convert Text to Outlines is an option; printer's marks stay shapes), so text-heavy PDFs stay small (#733). DXF export writes each fill as its outlines followed by its hatch, so laser and cutter software, which skips hatches, gets filled art and type too (#546).

- EPS and PostScript import keeps a CMYK image's ink amounts, as PDF import does: the samples of `image` and `colorimage` in a CMYK color space, and of a CMYK JPEG read through `DCTDecode`, come in as a CMYK TIFF, read through the image's Decode array, and the pixels a `MaskColor` or `ImageType 3` mask hides become a grayscale opacity mask (`crates/eps/src/import/tests_images.rs`). Such images came in as RGB PNGs.

- DXF control-point SPLINE import honors its closed flag (#1299 follow-up after #1320 fixed export), including rational curves; open curves whose endpoints meet stay open.

- Affinity documents in (AF.1–AF.4): `.af` (Affinity 3) and `.afdesign`/`.afphoto`/`.afpub` (Affinity 1 and 2, container versions 8–12) open and place as editable art: layers and sublayers, groups (pass-through or isolated), artboards (with their names and backgrounds) and Publisher pages side by side, curves with live corners, parametric shapes (rectangles with corner radii, ellipses, polygons, stars, pies, triangles, trapezoids), compound shapes, solid/linear/elliptical gradient fills and strokes (weight, dashes, alignment, scale-with-object), clipping by nesting, vector and pixel masks, artistic and frame text with fonts, sizes, tracking, leading and alignment, placed images (their original JPEG/PNG) and pixel layers (8/16-bit RGB, CMYK), opacity, visibility, locking and blend modes, at the document's resolution in points. Effects, adjustments, brushes and pressure profiles, transparency gradients, master pages, symbol instances (imported as their cached picture), special shapes (cloud, heart, cog…, imported as ellipses) and Affinity-only blend modes are named in the import warning. A file whose native data can't be read opens as its embedded preview with the reason, and that preview can't be placed. Save never writes back over the Affinity file and there is no Affinity export. AF.4 adds Affinity 3 artboard recognition and actual-outline clipping, source-backed JPEG/PNG raster tiles, Unicode text-run recovery, stored fallback/exact installed fonts, OpenType feature flags and compound-geometry limits. 51 public CC0/MIT/Apache-2.0 files (33 current `.af`), pinned and sha256-verified (`cargo xtask corpus --affinity`), test native retention and every-board native/SVG/PDF/PSD output for current files; selected files compare their saved thumbnails. No Affinity reopen or independent paired PSD oracle was available; [source audit and complex-font gaps](affinity-validation.md); [scope, provenance and limits](../crates/affinity/README.md).

- Placed documents: File › Place of a `.vectorcraft` file links to it by default (`file.place`'s `link`): one locked object showing an artboard of the document (or its art's bounds), read the way placing it without Link reads it, its symbols, patterns and images kept apart from the document's; without Link (or from bytes, not a file) it is an editable copy as before. It stays vectors in every output (SVG, PDF, EPS, EMF, DXF), and so do placed documents inside it, read from their own files up to 8 levels deep (documents that place each other stop there). On screen they draw from bitmaps cached per file and zoom step, shared by every copy and made in the background (a placeholder until ready), so a sheet of them redraws in about a millisecond; exports and prints draw them exactly. Like linked images, a save keeps only a preview of each (JPEG when opaque) unless Include Linked Files; output, and zooming past the preview, read the file again, falling back to the preview with a warning when it is gone or changed. Saves for older versions write them as plain art. Links check, update, relink, Update Links on open, Link Info (the artboard's size), Placement Options, Break Link (also Embed, Object › Expand: the editable copy placing without Link gives, its resources joining the document), Edit Original (the document in a new tab) and the Links panel cover them; saving a document updates the open documents that place it. The native format (v4) keeps data of 8 KB or more after the JSON instead of base64 in it.
