Illustrator :: Images Distorting When Saving As PDF?
Nov 21, 2013
I am having a problem when exportng a file as a pdf. A jpg image that I am using distorts. This is a high res file and I have tried exporting with both the 'high quality print' and 'press quality' presets.
I have tried printing directly from illustrator and the image looks great, when I print from the pdf the image looks disorted.
I have attached an image to show what I mean, the image on the left is from the pdf.
I have a photoshop file and the dominant color is blue, however then I am saving it as gif or jpg, the blue turns in to purple I am not sure why, I've checked all the settings and I am not sure what is causing it, see attachments for clarity, blue.jpg is what the photoshop file looks like purple.jpg is what it looks like then saved as jpg,
I've been attempting to combine various AVI clips into one large video using VS Pro X3 and I'm noticing that the beginning of each clip seems distorted. Actually, distorted is probably not the correct term for what I'm seeing. It looks like the main image is in the background and a smaller cropped version is superimposed in the middle of it. This issue only seems to be happening right at the beginning of each video clip. After about 5 - 10 seconds of the clip being played, the image corrects itself and it's fine.
Not sure I can post an screen capture of the problem here.
We used to use version 4 at work and loads of images drawn, my boss has converted to version 12 but when we open the drawings now all the text is in the wrong place and too big etc.
I have been given the task of fixing them all and wondered if there was an easy fix rather than clicking on each text box and changing each bit one by one, sitting with my fingers crossed.
Any way I can distort a path in Illustrator like in PS. You know I must accept the changes I made. In Photoshop, I allowed to move this 4 points before I press the check button. But in Illy only 1 point can move and it will automatically accepted it.
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'm making variations of a logo and one of them is a single color reverse. The logo is basically the letters 'MCS' written on a block of color. When I try to use the Pathfinder's subtract feature to knock out the letters from the block I get some slight distortion on the letters.
I was running CS2 before and I did this many times but I never had any distortion.
I create a document with multiple artboards whereby every image I place in the document is linked, however the size of the document is still enormous (around 350mb). It's a big document with a lot of clipping masks on images but surely it shouldn't be so big.
I made a long line with a complex stroke profile. I decided to remove a section, but it distorts the new ends with the excess profile. How can I delete a mid point on a line and keep the profile visually intact?
I am trying to round the corners of some jpg images by using a mask in Ps CS3. When i do so and "save for web" there is a super-thin, but super noticeable white line (almost a glow) that appears when I view it in my web page. I have tried saving it in jpg, gif and png formats and they all have it....
I'm having trouble saving a .psd file cut into slices for the web. From Photoshop, I go to the save for web box, and I don't want it to lose any quality at all, so I select "original" in the 2-up tab for the optimized image and save .html and images. The problem is, when I input it into GoLive and put a CSS background behind it, it has a white "crust" around the part of the logo that is transparent. How can I get it to be smooth like in the original Photoshop file?
I can't seem to be able to save an image as a generic jpg. file, or any other kind for that matter. The file might say jpg. but it still has to open on Photoshop.
working on a jpg image, I click 'save' and instead of a 'save' window popping up, a 'save as' window pops up with a 'psd' option as the starting point. I don't want to 'save as' (I want to 'save') and because I am working on a jpeg document I also don't want to see 'save as a psd document'. No matter how I try to get a simple 'save' window, I keep getting a 'save as a psd' document window. (Its VERY frustrating. I feel like photoshop is trying to shove the psd option on me.) I am working with jpg because I am trying to e-mail the image. Can anyone tell me why, when I click 'save' a 'save as' window pops up? (The only solution I have been able to come up with is to replace the image I am in fact trying to simply save.)
how to distort some lines of text. I have a 3D-looking image. It's a box where the top surface appears to get smaller as it moves back. I am trying to draw a bounding box on the top surface, and then distort the bounding box so that my text will appear to have the proper perspective. However, I cannot access the distort command under "edit" after I've drawn the box or when there is type in the box. All I can is distort the type. But this won't allow me to properly match the perspective. I need to somehow distort the bounding box (independently control all four corners) and then have the type size accordingly.
I'm having trouble saving images as a JPEG. I've never seen this before, but when I scan an image or even create an image and try to save it as a JPEG so it's smaller and easier for others to view Photoshop freezes...kind of. All of the buttons become inaccessible and the image does not save. I can't even close Photoshop until I enter task manager and end it manually.
Is there a way to save a group of opened images to a disc folder all at one time? I am tired of going through the routine for each individual image when I have a dozen or so opened in Photoshop 7.
when I save an image in PS (it happens with tif and jpg) and then open it, it looks different from the original psd--usually darker or harsher contrasts. (Yes, I understand the compression factor for jpgs will change the image, but it also happens with tifs.) I also notice people making comments about photos whose details I can't see until I copy and paste it into PS. I know this probably doesn't make any sense, but I don't know how else to explain it.
See the grass in the foreground? In the forum I'm viewing the original, I cannot see the grass at all. Yet, when I copy and paste it into PS, there it is! I thought the Adobe Gamma corrected the whole monitor, not just for PS.
I have been making animated gifs for a while now and have had no problem til now....when I save my animated gifs, all animated layers/graphics does not show up except the background layer/image. my saving output setting is gif so I dont know what has gone wrong.
I am saving my images (assembled in GIMP), exporting as jpgs then converting to pdf pages.My end product needs to be one pdf, so I will be inserting these separate pages into one 44-page pdf.
I need to retain the 300 resolution (actually, somewhere the resolution has slipped to 299.98 which I'm hoping will be so near it'll look fine). (using MacBook OS 10.6.8 with the GIMP 2.8 version)I think for the ebook, the RGB of my GIMP images will be best. So, I've got that, or will have as soon as I do all the export/saving.
(as an alternative, for the paper printed version which will precede the ebook), how do I save the RGB images to CMYK which I understand will print more true to what I'm seeing on my actual paintings > images in GIMP on my computer screen (the two of which look the same at present)? And at what point in these steps is it best to do the new CMYK version?
I finished a project yesterday only to find that LR4 did not save any of the changes to my images.
I checked my second computer and it works fine but for some reason my laptop LR4 is not saving the edits to my images. I open the subfolder for LR images and they are untouched.
other than using my second computer! My workflow is set up to edit on Laptop and do bookeeping on my PC.
I've found that photoshop is distorting the image when resizing. If you have an image and you duplicate the layer, then with the bottom layer set its size (by free transform) to 99% (width and height), then set the top layers opacity to 50%, the image should be evenly blurred but it's not. It is in focus in the middle and blurred around the edges.
I have a graphic which I need to distort to follow the shape of a pen. I have tried wrapping it but it begins to mess with the flow of the type. I have CS6 Extended and am trying to come up with a solution that works. I need the graphic itself shaped and on its own layer, not applied to a created cylinder. Attached is a simple example of what I am trying to do. I am very knowledgeable in Photoshop but Extended is new to me.

I have been shooting several images of architectural interiors and stitching them together and the attached image is the result I get. I would like to be able to distort, or stretch the center of the image up and down without effecting the left and right ends of the image.
