Illustrator :: Same Background Image (TIFF) Appears Different In Different Files
Oct 16, 2013
I am linking to the exact same background image file (TIF) in more than one illustrator file. This image is on the bottom layer in four different files.
The opacity on the image and the image's layer is set to 100% in all the files. In the dialog box for each of the layers that contain the image, the "Dim" control is unchecked. There are no other higher layers that contain artwork that might interfere with the image's appearance.
Yet...in two of the files, the image looks full and vibrant. In the other two files, the image looks dim and faded.
Is there another control that I'm missing that might be causing the image to be faded. (I want it to be full and vibrant.)

I am designing a calendar. When designing the background is a solid black, but when I export or save as PNG it appears on the screen as dark grey. I'm self taught and don't know if it will print out grey or black.

This image appears to have jagged edges on all of the paths. I created outlines for the text and converted strokes to path, but i can not seem to figure out how to make the image's path edges appear smooth. The image above is a png file but the image still appears this way when i view the ai version in illustrator.

I've built a 3D cylinder shape in Illlustrator and have applied plastic shading. Looks OK in Illustrator, but when imported into InDesign or opened in Photoshop, it appears to be partially transparent AND what looked to be smooth shading in Illustrator appears as a strange pattern in PS and InD, etc.We're getting close to final and this will be printing as it's a logomark.Is there something I'm missing that would make this shape a solid shape (instead of appearring to be transparent) and reproduce well? I just want it to look in PS and InD (and on paper) the way it looks in Illustrator.

how to properly place .tiff files in illustrator, so that they can easily be set up for commercial printing. I have created a simple sell sheet for a product that has 3 placed tiff images in it. The images are circular and appear fine on screen. However, when printed, the images have a slightly darker box around them. The images were created in photoshop, and i'm wondering if i needed to use a clipping mask or perhaps another format for the images to maintain the transparency. Should i rasterize the images, embed, or keep linked?

This didn't used to happen, but now whenever I open an Illustrator file, the "Find Font" dialog opens as though the fonts I'm using aren't found. Not sure what it wants me to do because no matter what I try nothing resolves. I simply click the "Done" button and go about my business. And there are no problems. Why is this happening? and why now? My fonts are always loaded before I open the file, the file looks and handles just fine.

I am creating a peice of artwork in illustrator. I have cut out the icecream image in photoshop and placed it in illustrator as a psd file. It looks fine in illustrator, looks like it should do. The problem occurs when I export to pdf, a black border around the ice cream image appears. However when I print the black border does not display. So the issue with the black border only appears on the pdf. Check out the attachment beow for example of what I mean.

I am working on a project that requires saving my image files as uncompressed tiff files and then saving another copy using LZW compression and being stored on a different drive. I am scanning a large quantity of herbarium specimens one after the other and then saving these files on two different drives.
Because I am working on a Windows pc it defaults to saving the file as the same type and in the same place as the previous one. As a matter of efficiency I just save the file in the proper form for whatever drive I was last on then save the next one in the form it needs to be for the other drive - alternating back and forth.
My question is: If I save the original scan as an LZW compressed file first and then "save as" a second copy as an uncompressed Tiff. Is there any loss in image quality saving a LZW compressed to to an uncompressed form. Should I always save the original file in it's uncompressed form first? Does the file remain totally intact in Photoshop regardless of what gets saved first…

I'm having a problem seeing a file in LR 4.2 when it is in the folder where I want it to be.
I created a composite tiff image from two raw files that reside in two different folders. I had exported the two raw files from LR as tiffs, opened the tiffs in Photoshop CS5, then combined them into a multi-layer tiff to create a 600+MB composite file. That composite was saved in Photoshop under a new file name using "Save As" . I knew the new composite file would not be in the LR catalog until I imported it. When I imported, the image went into a new date-named folder (call it folder "A"). So far, it all made sense to me.
From this point on things got funny. Working within LR, I tried to move the uniquely named composite from folder A into the folder that one of the component files came from (call it folder "B"). The Move failed. Instead, I got an error message saying the file already existed in "B." I could not see the file in "B" using lightroom, but MS Explorer revealed that the file was indeed there. I don't understand how it got there.
Still trying to get my composite in "B" recognized by LR, I first deleted the composite from "B" using explorer, then went into LR and moved the file from "A" (where LR recognized it), into "B". Still no good. LR does not show the file in "B", yet it appears in explorer.
I suppose I could live with this composite file in its own folder, "A," but that is not really where I want it. More importantly, I don't understand why I can't see it in LR in the folder where i want it.
- Is my catalog file damaged?
-Might the XMP files have anything to do with this?
-Is the size of the file (>600MB) a factor?
Win 7, LR 4.2, PS CS5.

When selecting SAVE AS in Photoshop CS5, I received a message saying that the disk is full. This is this first time I have seen this message from CS2 on. I don't understand what disk is being mentioned here. Of course I understand what disk full means, but I don't understand what disk is being discussed or refered to.

I'm using Lightroom 4.3 to add a copyright watermarking image (png) to existing tiff files for website use. I have several different png files made using Photoshop Elements, with the copyright text set at different transparencies, eg 20/30/40 percent opacity, so that whichever one I use in Lightroom I can always leave the opacity setting in the watermarking dialog at 100% and the images are scaled proportionally to 35%.
The problem is that every time I export the files after setting the watermark position etc, I notice that there is a noticeable loss of both contrast and colour in the newly made tiff files.
Lightroom 4.3, Windows 7, 64-bit.

When I convert all .jpeg images into .tiff format for printing (I did this in Photoshop). When I placed the images in Illustrator, I noticed that some of the images show too much noise... do you know why this is happening? It look fine in Photoshop, but not in Illustrator. Both files is in CMYK format as well...

I am designing images for printing on vinyl, with the print shop requiring 72 ppi .tiff files.Producing the file in Illustrator (.ai) and printing it produces a clear image on paper without pixellation.
However, when I export to .tiff @ 72 ppi, the result is heavy pixellation which I cannot print.How do I avoid this pixelation when exporting to .tiff in Illustrator CS6?

I have recently output a job to print that was supplied .AI with a simple .TIFF image placed on an artboard at its desired crop.
After referring to the original TIFF file I have realised whilst inside illustrator my image suddenly has a clipping mask attached to it, and a lot of it is missing. (however in outline, illustrator only see's a single TIFF bounding box)
Looking more closely at the TIFF in Photoshop, i've found it has x3 paths inside it!) Illustrator is picking these up and masking my photo. Is there a default function or process that can stop this from happening in the future, so it ignores any paths within the file?

I had originally scanned a tiff image of my signature into my computer. Got it looking the way I wanted in Photoshop 6 and then cleaned it up some more in Illustrator 6. The lines are black and I would like to try some different colours but Illustrator only lets me choose from a pallet of no more than 5 colors!

I'm making a book with large full bleed illustrations on each page.For ease of use I would like to use regular photoshop fonts. If I flatten and save my pages as Tiff files will it be the same as outlining fonts in Illustrator? In other words I won't have to include fonts. I am then going to drop the pages in InDesign in correctly paginated spreads to staple in the middle.

Running a script to open up files and convert to another type. When it gets to a TIFF type file a dialog window titled 'TIFF Import Options' is opening. This windows has an Options column that contains two radio selections for 'Convert Layers to Objects' and 'Flatten Layers to a Single Image'. How would I open the file with the 'flatten layers to a single image' set?

Still trying to learn my D7000
Yesterday, I took a number of experimental shots (a red phone cord lying on a white background). The white background (an artists white canvas lying on the floor) was well lit from above using 5600K lights.
The shots were all taken using auto focus, auto exposure, etc and in the view finder everything appeared to be correct, but on later viewing the photos, the white background appears to be grey.
I have attached a sample image to show the grey colour.
especially when using the auto mode when taking the photos.
I am not concerned about the picture quality only the grey background and I did not undertake a WB as I thought that this was part of the auto mode when taking the photo. the shot was taken by half pressing the shutter release butto to ensure that everything was OK then continuing to fully press the button.

PNG with transparent background that appears white when uploaded on the web.This is how I do the PNG : Once I have the image with the transparent background with the white and grey checks, I go to save for web and devices, putting PNG 24 at preset and the bar under it, transparency checked, and then save. When I preview the image, the background is transparent. Also when I open the image with Windows image viewer, the image also has the transparent background. However, when I upload the image to the website, the background turns white.
I'm using CS4. I put here a link to the psd file in case. URL.... and the image URL...

I am cleaning up the Hard Drive on my Mac G4. My scanned images are taking a great portion of the 80 Gig drive. I finished clearing my external drive by removing nearly 60 gigs of images by storing them on DVD. I will do the same for the Mac drive.
My trouble is that all my images are stored in TIFF format which takes up enormous space no matter the storage. Since I output images in various sizes, mainly prints, to 30 x 40 inches, I need a master image archived in the best format for such. However, I do not want to fill my drives, or DVD, with large files. Code:

I've been using the batch file - export layers to file script for some time. Right now I'm trying to figure out an easy way to have a locked background and do the same thing, but keep the background the same.
Background - Layer 1 - Save
Background - Layer 2 - Save
etc.
Is there a way to do this? I have around 300 images that need the exact same background.

I got over 160 color corrected RAW files from my photographer when I thought I was getting TIf or PSD files. I need to put them into an in design doc to send out for printing. Is there a way to convert all of these in one fell swoop without messing up the work that has already been done?
I didn't allow in my timing to save each one individually since i didn't know I was going to need to do this. I am really unfamiliar with batch processing, so how to best go about this, or if I even can. I am working in Photoshop CS6. version 13.06 x 64.

I am trying to attach a number of tiff files to individual dwg files. There are about 300 so I am writting a script that will open a new dwg, insert the tiff and save the dwg at a given name, so i have filedia set to 0 and everything is user input.
The problem I am having is that when I use the iinsert command and enter the path for the tiff I get this error: (filename)was not found or is not valid. This is pathed to a network drive. When I copy the same folder to my c: drive and run the command everything works as should. is there any reason for this?
When pathed to the c: drive and working correctly it looks like this:
C:UsershbrittDesktop11301 DCS Migration Phase 2 Execute Engineering Detail DesignDRAWINGSWORKING SETLOOPSDEMOD70-B-F101.TIF
When pathed to the network it looks like this:
G:EngineeringCURRENT JOBSMOTIVA11301 DCS Migration Phase 2 Execute Engineering Detail DesignDRAWINGSWORKING SETLOOPSDEMOD70-B-F101.TIF
I get this error:
G:EngineeringCURRENT JOBSMOTIVA11301 DCS Migration Phase 2 Execute Engineering Detail DesignDRAWINGSWORKING SETLOOPSDEMOD70 was not found or is not valid.
I noticed in the error message it cuts the end of the file name off. Is there a character limit?
I have done this before with a path to the network and everything worked as should. We have recently upgrade to 2013 but i would'nt think that would be an issue.
So basically, file on local drive everything inserts fine. File on network, get error.
