I'm work ing illustrator CS6. My bezier curves are displaying jaggedly. My document raster settings are set to 300. Pixel preview is not on, and overprint preview doesn't change it.
This image is a screenshot of how it displays in illustrator. and here is the same file with a gray background as a high quality PDF.
I created a closed object that had a Bezier curve as part of it's definition. I wanted to scale it by 110% and then use this second enlarged object to create a sort of a background underneath the first object to create a sort of a shadow effect. But rather than the second object being uniformly larger than the first it intersects the original object in ways that don't make sense to me.
Is there an easier/differnt way to create an effect like this? I can do it but have to manually adjust a lot of points in the new object so that they create a uniformly larger version of the original object but it's a lot of effort for something that works fine for normal polygons with straight lines (e.g. a star with 5 points).
i've attached an image of what I get with this technique of creating two examples of two objects one a 110% scale version of the other. The first star shows the effect I'm trying to get and the second shows the problem (the red border does not surround the black object uniformly around the perimeter)
How do you get bezier curves in PhotoShop CS6 to act the way they used to in CS5.5? In 5.5 i would be able to move/adjust the path with the direct select tool and the control arms would stay at the angle they were created at. In CS6, depending on where you direct selected the path, would depend on how the path could be/would be adjusted. And the control arms have become more fluid, rather than static. They do not keep the angle they were created.

how to use Bezier curves for PhotoShop CS 3.
i'm trying to get bezier curves on SHAPES (Spheres, Cubes) in Photoshop CS...so i can reshape them...NOW i'm talking curves that are like contour lines ON the SHAPE...
example...
if you create an ELLIPSE from the ELLIPSE tool...you do SOMETHING to it (which i cant seem to remember) and you see LINES going up and down and left and right on it....and u can just freehand transform it.
Any way of selecting an individual bezier handle and moving it by increments using the arrow buttons on the keyboard, (in a similar way to moving an individual point)? At the moment, I have two handles on different adjacent points selected, and am able to move them incrementally using the direct selection tool and the arrow keys, but I don't know how they originally came to be selected (I discovered that they were accidentally), or how to transfer the selection to another handle. I'm using CS6.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm using CS5 on a PC. I should preface this by saying it's been a long time since I used a vector graphics program, and when I did, it was Macromedia Freehand.
I am creating an object using the pen tool, and I'd like to adjust the curves on either side of an anchor point independently of one another. There was a function to do this in Freehand, but I can't seem to find it's Illustrator equivalent.
I would like to extend the bezier handle at it's current angle. Till now, I have been using a guide at the angle and following it when plotting the next curve (as above). I know you can use shift to lock it at a 90 degree, 45 degree angle, etc., but I would like tot keep it at its current angle. Is there a keyboard shortcut for this?

I want to do this pixelated gradient thing for my earth. Something like the one in the picture but I don't know how to start. I found a question that is exactly like mine, but I dont really get it. So anyway, I did the outline for my earth, But what do I do after that?

I am creating a logo in Illustrator and when I save it for web and upload it into facebook the image is completely pixelate. I have the document set for RGB at 72 PPI. I am using a web safe color and on screen in illustrator my image loogs perfectly clear. I have tried to save the document is several different file formats and nothing seems to work. I have watched several tutorials and read many documents and set up my document formats to match and it has not fixed the issue.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI was working on a project and I did a very silly mistake with the measurements.
The mistake: Lets say that instead of doing 5 cm I did 5 mm
What I did: Scale the entire art by 1,000%
Result: Looks perfect on the screen and it is the accurate size.
-> The Problem: Now when I export it to JPG or other format it comes out pixelated. I even tried increasing the resolution to 2,400 dpi (I think it is the highest but it is still pixelated)
I'm new to illustrator, but since all the art is vectorized I thought I could change the scale as I pleased and still have a neat image on both the screen and when I export.
I have a photo which was originally approx 150mm x 90mm
I had to resize this to nearly half its original size and it looked decent. I then saved the image as a tiff and placed it in illustrator. It still looked decent in Illustrator until i printed. when it was printed it turned out a little pixelated.
Why is it that when resizing (shorter than original) images pixelate and how can i eliminate this. Also what can i do so to avoid the problem when printing in illustrator.
I mean I always replicate most artwork via vectors in illustrator but photos as you all know can only be transferred across
I am trying to make a globe using a Equirectangular Vector Globe and a set of grid lines using the grid tool.I set everything up and set it all as a symbol. Do my half circle and revolve it, map the art work and size to fit.However when I look at my grid lines at 100% they are pixelated. At 300% they are not.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm making large prints (40x60) from Illustrator files, and the print plugin requires Photoshop. I am converting the AI file's Document Color Mode to RGB, then exporting to PSD as high-resolution 300ppi, using artboards.
When I export the AI files to PSD and view them in PS, the photographic elements appear pixelated at 100% whereas the text & graphics are smooth and high-res. I've checked the linked photographic files, and they are not pixelated. So what I've had to do is export editable PSDs from AI using the "Write Layers" option, open the files in PS, and then re-place the photographic elements so that they are no longer pixelated.
FYI, Anti-Aliasing is set to Art Optimized (Supersampling). The AI and PS files are both sized to 40x60, and the PSD is opening as 300ppi.
I'm using CS5 on Mac OSX 10.7.4 and the graphic looks pretty good at 100%, and prints just fine. The design shop is trying to put it on a coffee cup though, and when they scale it down, it looks horrible. Pixelated everywhere.
-antialiasing is on
-resolution is 300 DPI
-align to pixel grid is not checked.
Here is a screen shot at 100%
Here is a screen shot after I scale the object 70%...
I originally created an image in Illustrator and transfered it to Photoshop so i can change the hues. Now I want to take that Photoshop file and transfer it back to Illustrator but the the edges on the object are very jagged and rough whilst the object in Photoshop is smooth and the transition of gradients is smooth.

Just noticed that when I save a job as a pdf in Illustrator CS6 the images become pixelated. The image is currently 300dpi in photoshop. I have tried several methods. I have to scale it down small, but I can't figure I've tried different settings with the pdf.I have also scaled it in photoshop and still doesn't matter.

I have attached an image of the label as an example. **Please note that the label is copyrighted. Please do not re-distribute or otherwise print.**
Why does the color look strange, is it only because it's green? I have it set to custom color>green because no color/black was only grey. This is still desaturated & very grey. Playing with the settings didn't seem to work.
What's with the pixelated edging? It's an inner bevel & appears on the rounded parts.

I am preparing a batch of images for test submission, for a stock photo library.Recently a person working for one of the visual effects studios in London happened to tell me that these strict agencies use some set of layers that can separate tonality and color values to check for banding, dirtiness, noise and all those technical flaws that the human eye can't notice on a monitor.He said they perhaps have an action for it so that they can review faster.
He said that it is known as 'Craze Curves' or 'Visibility Curves' technique.He further added that all the studios use it before giving the final files to clients so that there is no issue in printing afterwards.It is sort of a quality control check and has been used by digital and advertising agencies all over the world.
But now his email seems to have changed and I can't get in touch with him to know how to use the technique.

How should I go about doing it? I am completely new to Adobe Illustrator, and I am using the mac Version.
when using my own brushes in Illustrator (which aren't very complictated, just "pressure-sensitive" as you can see in the example)...Illustrator fills the curves automatically.
Not, when I'm drawing large format, but once in a while I have to draw small vignettes or want to reduce the size. Small means: about a centimeter.
First I thought it might be a problem with the wacom tablet I got, but the support convinced me, that it had to be a problem with the software... I had the same problem already with CS3 and 4, now again with CS6.
