Illy CS5
Â
For the sake of a clean test: I create a new doc, using the New Document Profile: Print.
Â
Select Rectangle Tool, click on artboard, type in 300px for width. ENTER.
Â
In inches, it measures as 4.1667in. Why?
Â
I expect it to be precisely 1in.Â
Â
Also, if I punch in 300pt, it comes out to be 4.1667in as well.
I've had this problem before, and it randomly popped up again today.
Â
This time restarting Ai fixed the issue the first time. I just don't know if this was human-error/setting on my end, or a minor bug to report.
Â
So I create a CMYK Ai doc. Create some black text and/or shapes. Then decide to change color to rich black by manually entering CMYK values (in this case, 60, 40, 40, 90), select ok. However, the colors revert back to original percentages (75, 68, 67, 90). Â
Â
In past versions, it's happened once or twice, and restarting Ai didn't solve the first time.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am sizing illustrator artwork to be specific pixel dimensions (ex: 294 x 76 px). I slice by "making" slice (object/slice/make). I then export by saving for web & devices. When I then preview the artwork I see the file size is 295 x 77px the wrong size by one pixel. all artwork is expanded prior to being sliced so there are no drop-shadows or effects messing with the slices sizing.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe pixel dimensions in Illustrator CS5's Info panel are wrong.I have a web layout in Illustrator that I'm transposing into Adobe Muse, using Save for Web and Devices.
Â
I want to use the X and Y coordinates and the dimensions of the objects in Illustrator to place them correctly in Muse, so that all the elements scale to the right size.
Â
The Illustrator artboard is 960 pixels wide and the layout fits the artboard. Similarly, the site width in Muse is 960px wide.The measuring units are in pixels in Illustrator, but something very strange is going on.in the Info panel, a grouped object - a logo - is described as 16383 pixels wide and 211px high.
Â
It's simply not possible, not least because the logo is taller than it is wide. But when I measure it with the ruler tool, it tells me that the logo is 136px high and 122px wide.
Â
The problem only applies to this grouped object and it's not because it's grouped with some other thing that is 16383 pixels wide - the bounding box fits precisely round the logo when it is selected.
When I crop a picture Pixel Demensions become 6 bytes Width and Height 1 pixel each. I can no longer see the picture. How can I fix this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a customer who wants his drawings in imperial units. (They're American bless 'em). Normally I'd just draft it in millimeters (so no issue with block scaling) and then overwrite the dimensions manually. But just for a laugh I thought I might try doing it in imperial from scratch.
I understand all the scaling and units issues, but exactly how do you enter the required imperial dimensions in the command line? For instance, if I have enabled architectural and inch units at 1/16" precision, do I have to calculate and enter 1'-6-3/16" in decimal inches (ie 18.1875)? or is there some way of entering
Also, is this true of all imperial style options?
What about having two sets of dimensions - i.e. is it possible to draw and dimension something in metric mm then add a second set of dimensions scaled to 1/25.4 in imperial units?
I opened a jpg image in PS CS2, and opened the Image size panel. I found the following: Width 2304 px., height 1728 px., doc size 32" x 24" at 72 px/in, and Pixel Dimensions 11.4M.
Can anyone explain the relationship of the pixel dimensions to the other data, i.e., how the pixel dimensions are calculated.
In this panel the pixel dimensions show is 4,50M . I would like to know How the "Pixel Dimensions" is calculate ? This 4,50M confuse me because my file size is 1,2M.

Â
I usually start by entering the pixel parametrs, then use "trial and error" until I get a file that fits the given constraints and they are often too small, or too grainy. What is the workflow? Where do I start and how to I end up with the best result? The "Pixel Dimensions" don't seem to reflect the file size. Is the answer in the popup that asks for small, medium, or large file size?
Most of the images I work with need to be saved at screen resolution (in my case that's 72 or 96 dpi).
In past versions, I'd load an image, usually 300 dpi, and when I resize the image (Image -> Resize), the default resolution was always 72 dpi. All I needed to do was set the new pixel dimensions that I wanted, and I was done.
In X5, the resize box is showing the actual current dpi of the picture I'm trying to resize.
Is there a way to set X5 so that the Resize function always defaults to a specific resolution (i.e. 96 dpi)?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there any way of getting the pixel dimensions of a layer within the project? Clicking on image>image size only gives me the dimensions of the entire thing.
Example: I am building a mockup of a Website at 1000x620. After adding photos and free transforming them, I would like to know what the size turned out to be so that I can now resize the original photo to place in the site.
I need to be able to see the pixel dimensions while I'm cropping. I clicked on the "Info" pallet and it shows this in inches, however, I didn't see how to change it to pixels. For some website work I need to set images to specific pixel sizes and yet be able to move around the image to crop where I need at these dimensions.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am preparing images for the web and I really have 2 questions: one about gifs, and one about jpgs.My standard procedure is to reduce the image to the desired pixel dimensions at 600 dpiThat gives me a crisp small image. then I either use it as is if the file size is low enough (I try for under 600 kb) or convert it to a gif with the save for web and devices tool.
Â
So here are my 2 questions (I will count this solved with either answer)
Â
1) When I convert to a gif I have the 4 boxes: one with original size, the other 3 with options but often the options are too low res for me How do I change my 3 options to start at a higher gif res?
Â
2) If I try to reduce the file size of the jpg in the image size box I set the resolution lower ( 400, 300), which lowers the pixel dimensions and the filesize, but I don't want to cahnge the pixel dimensions. And If I reset the pixel dimensions back to the size I want them, even though it is a lower resolution the file size doesn't change.
How to reduce jpg file size using only the resolution, not pixel dimensions? PS I have tried messing with checking and unchecking the 3 little boxes( scale styles, constrain proportions, and resample) but nothing has worked.
I use this application to give me precise pixel color information by rolling my cursor over the area needing color info.In addition to this information, the window also displays dynamically the x and y pixel coordinates of my cursor. good for measuring pixel dimensions of an object. This feature has now disappeared. I've upgraded to Mountain Lion..Would that have eliminated this feature with Digital Color Meter? Is there any way of using the cursor to measure pixel dimensions between two points?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a set of drum scans of medium format film images. The pixel dimensions of the scans vary slightly. But they all consist of images of the same frame size, with borders around the image (scanned film outside the image.) All of the scans were done at 4000 pixels per inch, at 100 percent.
Â
For example, the pixels dimensions of one scan is 10492 x 6907, another is 10390 x 6968, and another is 10483 x 6976.
Â
I want to crop all of them to 10200 x 6738 pixels. I want to delete the cropped pixels, and I do not want any scaling to take place. I want to preserve the original metadata (the scanner model, pixels per inch, etc.); in other words, I want to modify the files (or copies of the files), not create new files. The print size does not matter.I've tried several approaches, and none of them let me do what I want:
Â
1.) Manually cropping each scan individually does not give me the control that I need for cropping to precise pixel dimensions.
Â
2.) Creating a Crop Preset with the desired pixel dimensions doesn't work because using it results in scaling (I think.)
Â
3.) Using Canvas Size doesn't work because the borders in the scans are not equal on all four sides. I need to be able to move and position the image inside the crop area.
Â
4.) Using New, and Place… allows me to create a Canvas Size with the desired pixel dimensions and resolution, and move the placed images; they will fit without scaling. However, this results in a new file being created, and therefore the metadata is lost.
Here is a snapshot of the image size window:
Is it true that if pixel dimension is very large in size than the resolution number under document size doesn't matter ?

I am trying to crop or resize an image that is originally 2,122 x 1,415 px | 7.1 x 4.7 in | 300 dpi. I am to crop/resize image to fit 756 x 275 px. However, I don't want to lose the whole image. I would like to use the whole image just adjust it to the dimensions.
Â
How can I accomplish this without creating any distortion or by removing elements by cropping the image?

View 4 Replies View Related"Image > Print Size" really IS the command you are looking for.
The key is to pay attention to the units-of-measure shown on the Print Size dialogue box:- The "Width" and "Height" values under Print Size are displayed in real-world units (inches, mm, etc.), not image pixels.- The "Resolution" values are displayed in pixels-per-unit.- You cannot change your image's pixel dimensions (aka scale the image) from the Print Size dialogue. That's what the "Scale Image" command is for.Remember the relation between pixel and print sizes is:(print size) = (pixel size) / (print resolution)
When you change the image's print resolution, of course the real-world size (the "width" or "height" shown in the Print Size dialog) of your image will update to reflect the new print resolution -- that value is calculated from your image's actual pixel size and whatever resolution value you just entered. This is totally normal behavior -- in fact, it's expected. If you change an image's resolution from, say, 150 pixels/inch to 75 pixels/inch, this doubles the print size of your image but only the print size; the image's pixel size remains precisely the same as before. (You can confirm this by comparing "Image > Canvas Size..." before and after changing the resolution.)
And as others have stated, if you're using the image for Web viewing then its print resolution has absolutely zero effect on how it will appear onscreen (print resolution only affects, well, actual printing), in which case you'll want to use the "Scale Image" command to actually scale your image larger or smaller.
I have just downloaded pixel bender for CS5 and know I get this message The image dimensions exceed the hardware capabilities of your GPU. What do I need to do to make it work
View 4 Replies View RelatedSometimes I can manually set the x & y coordinates, and sometimes I can't: I change the number from say 54.0001 to 54, and Illustrator changes it back to 54.0001. Or, more commonly, it will not allow me to specify a float when the coordinate is an integer ( 54 -> 54.1 ).
Â
The layours/shapes are not locked and I disabled all snapping options (snap to grid, snap to point, snap to guide).Why does it decide to work sometimes and not others?
Â
Also, why, even when I have all the snaps enabled, does Illustrator insist on setting coordinates to a float that is JUST off of what it should snap to? Say I have a Guide and the left side of Shape A at x-coord 60; Illustrator absolutely refuses to align the right side of Shape B to x-coord 60 when dragging. Instead it decides 59.9897 is better. Both shapes are simple, are solid/filled, and have no stroke or effect/filter.
Â
Even if I select Shape A and Shape B (Shape B is a copy of Shape A) and use the align palette (specifying Shape A is the key object), it will still set the x-coord of Shape B to 59.9897 instead of 60. WHY?
Â
I noticed Illustrator setting erroneous/illogical xy coords since CS3 (it might have existed earlier), but I've always been able to force the x-coord manually to be the position I want; until now.
When I try entering a X/Y coordinate or enter the opacity number, when I try to type example 58, I type the 5 first then the 8 but it types it in as 85 putting the text infront
Also, when I type in the coordinates and want to delete the decimal place example, 23.756 to 24, I try clicking in the place and hitting backspace or highlighting the 3.756 and entering 4, it will hurry and highlight everything so when I backspace it delets all or when I enter the 4 it will highlight all and put the 4 so my object flys to another part of the art board.
I'm currently running AI CS6. In previous releases, when I wanted to start entering text at a certain point (with the regular type tool) I would position the I-beam at the vertical line where I wanted to start, and with the little horizonal line of the I-beam on the horizontal line where I wanted to start, and click. But in CS6, that click seems to position the text on the left-most dotted line surrounding the I-beam, rather on the I-beam itself. Is there some parameter I can set so that the I-beam determines the starting point of text? Or do I just need to adjust my thinking to a different way?

How do i create text frames so each grid section within the polar grid is separate and therefore allows me to click on it and enter text. I would also like to change the colour of all the polar grid sections individually. I think it might have something to do with threaded text but not sure.
View 17 Replies View RelatedI want an 8 x 12 piece of art. In the process of creating the image, i had to use a drop shadow. However, some of the drop shadow that I dont care about ended up going over the 8" x 12". No problem right? I simply copied the object with the shadow, put the copy on top of the object, highlighted both and made a clipping mask. The end result was perfect -- it clipped off the drop shadow that was extending over the nice white border and even off into space.
Â
However, when I tried to export into a jpeg for print, the result had the correct size white border on the top, but the other sides were too big. Sometimes I miss a stray dot or random line that is far off of the artboard, and deleting the stray stuff corrects everything. But this time everything was fine. I realized that although the clipping mask cut off the drop shadow, illustrator still registered the drop shadow as being a part of the image and taking up space. So the jpeg doesnt show it, but the deminsions are all off.
Â
My question is whether there is a way to manually cut off parts of a drop shadow without using the clipping mask like I did.
I have a path that turned out to be a litt ethicker than it needs to be.
Â
I see that I can expand a path with Offset Path. I have read online that you can contract a path by entering a negative number, but when I try that, it ignores the minus sign and expends the path instead.
Â
Is there some other way to contract the path?
