How do I change the layer colour once I'm in Isolation Mode? I'm using CS4 and tring to edit a yellow object but Illustrator has made the layer/paths/edges yellow making it VERY difficult to see what I'm doing?
...actually, I just changed the objects layer to a differrent colour which seems to have made Illustator select the next colour down when in Isolation made.
Is this my only option?
I cannot get Illustrator CS6 to work in isolation mode. I am in graphic design school and just learning Illustrator. The video I'm watch is telling me to double click the element (which is grouped) to enter isolation. I have tried severl times, even rebooting my computer to see if was a glitch. Still nothing happens when I double click. Using a Wacom tablet. But I even tried clicking with the trackpad, still nothing happens.
View 5 Replies View RelatedGroups are an excellent way to design encapsulated objects, but when editing color in Isolation Mode all other groups/layers are desaturated which makes it impossible to edit color in respect to the entire illustration.
I'd expect a way to disable the dimming effect somewhere in a menu option or preference setting.
I've been using Illustrator for many years but I ran into a problem today I've never seen before. I have a feeling it's something simple that I've overlooked.
All the objects in my project are invisible. When I hover over them, the object edges appear, and they retain their color if I double click them to put them in isolation mode. But that's it. Exported images are just white spaces the size of the artboard. All my other files display as they should, it's just this one.
I worked around it by copying and pasting the objects into a new file. So I think it must have something to do with the settings in this document.
I'm using CS5 on an iMac, running OS 10.6.8.
Previously when editing a group in isolation mode you could double-click a group and then the individual objects in that group become editable. Now in CS6 a group remains grouped in isolation mode, so to edit individual objects the group needs to be manually ungrouped while in isolation mode, then you have to remember to group them again before exiting isolation. This is a very un-useful new development. CS6, Windows 7 x64.

How can I get them to show up and why did they disappear in the first place?
I want to continue working in outline mode, using a template while in isolation mode, but the template disappears. Does that mean I'd have to copy the template to the group or layer I'm working in?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAny way to turn off the automatic launching of isolation mode on double click. It's highly annoying and slows me down every time I have to exit the mode so I can get back to work. I prefer to select elements using the layers panel, which is much more flexible.
Is there a preference or other setting to disable isolation mode? Especially when using a Wacom pen, it's alll too easy to double-click unintentionally. So disabling it permanently would be a great.
If you create a symbol that is pixel perfect, exit out of the symbol and go back in, the pixels bleed into each other because the pixel grid is not aligned correctly. Instead it is aligned to the global document grid which the symbol content is not placed in. It makes no sense to align the pixel grid to the global coordinates when the content by definition is not present in it.
This makes it impossible to use symbols to edit pixel perfect objects because any editing other than the original creation does not display pixels but pixel bleeds.
This is a valid bug in Illustrator CS6. Please specify:
1. Do you understand what I am specifying? If you do not I will provide images as I wish to resolve this functionality.
2. Specify if it has been fixed in Illustrator CC. I do not have an available Win7 installation to test CC but if it is I will acquire one.
I was looking at a Photoshop tutorial, it's for building a galaxy and mostly works for gimp, but there was a mention of "layer blending mode to colour." I was wondering what the equivalent is in gimp, or even if there is one.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI find myself using Black Backgrounds often in illustrator. Bleeding a Black BG makes it impossible to see the art board boarder.
The solution to this has been for me to either place guild lines on these guide lines (silly really) and jarring. specially when you already have guide lines there.
Or to make a new layer, place a box on the board and give it a outline .5 stroke thinkness or so depending on the zoom because white on the black line thats above it screws up visually depending on the distance you zoom out from.
Or has Adobe given us a choose your colour option i don't know about? 50% Grey would be great. can see on white and black.
I imported a photo into illustrator CC and I then live traced it and expanded it. When I select it the colour options are grey scale. I can change the option but if I click off the image the options go back to grey scale. The doc colour set up is cmyk. How do I get it to stay on a different option without having to keep switch it all the time?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been using Photoshop CS2 for several years to enhance my photographs, but just now have encountered something simple I cannot find out how to do. I have on the background layer a picture of a room interior with the exposure set mostly for the open window, but the rest of the room is very dark. On the only other layer, the upper one, I have the same shot exposed correctly for the room, which overexposes the window area. The upper and lower layers are perfectly superimposed, and the upper layer is at 100% opacity.
I have selected the window on the upper layer and want to change the selected area's opacity to blend properly with the window on the bottom layer without changing opacity of the rest of the layer. No matter what I do, changing opacity seems to affect only the entire layer, and I haven't figured out how to isolate the selected area for the opacity change.
I can cut the selection to reveal the darker window on the bottom layer, but this doesn't give me the flexibility I need to balance the two exposures. An opacity change would be ideal.
I have two layers. Upper most with text is locked.Bottom layer is an image I have applied a transparency/gradient mask for the raster image. Now, seems my layers palette is stuck in a mode called 'Layers (Opacity Mask)'.Not seen this before, but this is CS6. How do I get out to the main, root level of the layers palette?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've only ever created graphics for the screen, now I'm trying to create something for print.I started a Photoshop document with a CMYK colour mode and soon discovered it would only let me choose colours that look murky on screen.
I've been all over the internet to read about CMYK vs RGB etc and I've seen things to suggest that printers can't print the vibrant colours we see on screen. Fine, but what about the magazine I have next to me where I can see beautiful vibrant turquoises and fushias? How did THOSE colours get on to the paper?
If a CMYK colour looks murky on screen will it look more vibrant when printed?
I have 10 layers and I want to blend them such that the resultant flattened image represents the average colour. i.e. If layer 1 has a white pixel and layers 2-10 have black pixels the result will be 90% black.

how to edit this ?
I have been using indexed mode to save 8-bit png files for the web, just as one would through the Save For Web interface in photoshop. sometimes it works brilliantly, usually when very few colors. but sometimes it changes some of the most dominant colors in the image. for example, if i make an image with background in #f3f3f3, two antialiased type layers in different colors, flatten the image and switch to indexed mode the background will change to something like f3f201 or whatever depending on the colors of the type layers (even if i choose 256 colors...).
EDIT: ok those exact instructions didn't actually replicate the problem this time that i tried it, but nonetheless the problem exists. if no one recognises it i will save the file it occurs to next time so you can all replicate the problem.
EDIT 2: happened immediately. i have attached a png of the file, even if you set it to 256 colors, switching to indexed mode will change the white background to #fefffc. once again, one could go into the color map and change it back to pure white, but to be completely correct one needs to change every color in the shadows (and antialiasing) that fade into the white, which will also have been offset by the switch to indexed mode.
How do I see the object selected change colour dynamically as I adjust the colour sliders?
It seems the object only changes colour when I release the slider. But I want to see it dynamically change, so I can find the colour that works best without "hit or miss" - "trial and error" behaviour.
Yes... I'm aware some of you spend hours in colour programs creating a palette to work with. Good for you.
I'm just wanting to do it LIVE. Dynamically. In 2013. In Illustrator.

I want to be able to use the subtract layer as a completely new layer so that I can make edits to it. The only way I have found to do this at the moment is to 'copy visible', but this still brings other elements that I don't want from where the layers overlap.
