[Qgis-user] Forced raster export

[Alexandre Neto]

Check the Link that Harrisou sent in the previous email.

You can apply (maybe without wanting) blending modes to layers, features,
and even map composer items. So check the settings and make sure that for
blending mode you always have "Normal" selected. Only one layer or map
composer item with a not-normal blending mode will force you to export as
raster.
