Illustrator :: AI CC Is Not Compatible With Silhouette Studio Plugin
Feb 12, 2014
After reinstalling multiple times, uninstalling Wacom drivers, etc. -- tracked it down to a plugin.The newest update for AI CC is not compatible with the Silhouette Studio plugin.
Not a happy camper over lost time and productivity, but fortunately I had my CS5 disks.
I downloaded Pyrochilds "Smudge" plugin and the plugin error says that it's not compatible with this version of Paint.Net. I have the latest I believe v3.5.8 I also unblocked it and still nothing.
I need to create a line drawing of the outline of a chair. I tried following the various Illustrator tutorials to take the image of a chair and create a silhouette. However, I can't figure out how to take this silhouette and get just the outline of it. The Illustrator Image Trace tool doesn't seem to have an option to just save the outline.
Is there an easy way in Illustrator or Photoshop to turn this silhouette into an outline image that I can save as a file? I will print the outline in a very light opacity so that the lines are barely visible for hand rendering. I don't want to use the pen tool to outline the silhouette because my hand is too shaky to do a good job.
I was interested in purchasing Adobe illustrator CS6. I've read around and it seems that some people have issues with Adobe Illustrator CS6 on Mountain Lion.
My old computer finally died, and so I just bought a new iMac with OSX Mavericks... I am wondering if my old Illustrator CS can be installed into my new iMac and if it would be compatible with OSX Mavericks? (I successfuly reinstalled my Photoshop CS4 and it is compatible with OSX Mavericks, but I am skeptical that such an old version of Illustrator will also install successfully)
We first get a digital proof form printers as .pdf. Sometiems they save them with PDF compatible on. This makes my job harder because will get ilustrator asking for all the links when opening the .pdf.
What we do is open the .pdf form the printere, adn paste this on topof our orignal .ai file. This is to proof what theyt changed. Adding in theri product numbers, adn updating the UPCS is about all we want to see. What we look for is shifting type, or missing elelements.
I was working with Illustrator - InDesign as usual. At the moment of linking my AI file into InDesign, I got this message 8 times in an A4 size frame:
"This is an Adobe® Illustrator® file that was saved without PDF content. To place or open this file in other applications, it should be re-saved from Adobe Illustrator with the "Create PDF Compatible File" options turned on. This option is in the Illustrator Native Format Options dialog box, which appears when saving an Adobe Illustrator file using the Save As command."
Weird... I have never seen this before. I resaved the file, and it keeps happening. I see no such option as "Create PDF Compatible File" when saving just an AI file... I am not trying to make a PDF!
I have done the same procedure linking other AI files into this ID file and it is working as usual. Is just this very one. And it doesn't seem particulary different from what I do everyday...
I finally made a PDF from the AI and placed it into InDesign. But everytime I have to update the AI..
So I'm using a script that I wrote to bring in files that were converted from CorelDraw to EPS (this is the best conversion process to preserve text and drawing assets). Basically the script takes the art in the EPS, groups it, places a rectangular border around the art and centers them. We do this so that they come into InDesign correctly sized. The problem is, it used to be 100% automated, just about, however now the saveas action command will not remember that "Save as PDF Compatible" needs to be set to true. When I do a saveas command, it's check by default, but when the saveas command is batched, it does NOT do it that way. When I try to bring batched AIs into InDesign, it's text that says it was not saved as PDF Compatible. Am I going to have to script a save function to get control of the saveas settings? I don't understand why PDF compatible is checked by default, yet batching saveas saves as if it unchecked it.
CS6 illustrator and photoshop not allowing me to open documents due to different reasons...damaged files, badly formatted, not compatible etc. However, these files were all created on the same computer and program therefore should be compatible. Is there a way for me to fix these files/prevent this from happening in the future?
I have an image that I would liked to get the shape from and enlarge to 24" (that is not the full-res image.). I am trying to extract the rings along with the torch, meanwhile making that pattern black and the background white. I can use the magic wand at certain tolerances to get it out, but, like the picture, the edges are not sharp, but pixelated. is there a way I can extract this shape but have very smooth and defined edges, even if the picture does not have them? im trying not to have to zoom in real far and use the lasso to outline the entire thing myself.
I might add that extract edges doesn't work too well on this image
I am trying to make a silhouette of the Ford Fair lane in the zip file attached below, and place it into the BANNER_ONE.psd document. This is for a contest (redesigning the banner), so I have attached the current banner as well (profile_header.jpg).
The requirements for the banner are as follows:
incorporate "the driver's seat of youtube" and "the most automotive variety" (DONE)incorporate featured in car and driver, perhaps with that October 2011 issue cover (DONE)incorporate something related to the make a wish foundation silhouette design possibly using the 65 fairlane.
So, what is the best way to trace a silhouette of the Fairlane, similar to the one in the original banner? I was thinking the Pen Tool, but seeing as how I'm on a laptop and don't have access to an external mouse until late tomorrow (I'm away for the weekend), that's not the best option at the moment.
I made the following image in Illustrator by tracing an image and filling it with black to get the silhoutte. I then, used the type area tool to fill the silhouette with text.
Is there a better way to do this (in photoshop or illustrator)?
Also, how would I adjust the text to better fit (fill) the shape of the silhouette?
I want to create a silhouette like the first picture from the other picture (of the boy) How can I do that? If it's youtube videos out there, but getting there does not, even if I regulate tolerance in magic wann tool.
When I do localization for illustrator plug-in on Windows, I found the method now I can use is generating one plug-in for each language. I only wan to create one plug-in which can link many language resources. If system language changes, the plug-in can auto load appropriate language resource.I can't find more information about localizaiton in illustrator SDK, what I found is IAILocale.h,but it seems that not enough...
I am under development of a plugin.The plugin used to get loaded upto the recent times.AI gives a message "Error loading plugins XXXX.aip" with no further details.Code is with no compilation error (of course )
Is there any plugin to make the pen tool from illustrator behave/work like the pen tool from Photoshop. Both pen tool behave differently , and i am not used to the way of the pen tool behave in illustrator.
I want to reduce the length of the legs a bit and straighten the back one out a bit.How can you go about this without changing a lot of the anchor points? Is there a way to select a portion of the leg or image and move it separately?
