I am working on a file that has some shapes with gaussian blurs. Everything appears fine until I save it and reopen the file to see that each of the objects with a blur has been converted to an embedded link as a raster image. Is there a setting that I need to change to preserve the vector shapes with the blur effects?
View 2 RepliesI have an illustrtor documcnet which is one quater of the size it will be printed at (50 * 12.5 cm up to 2 * 0.5 m).
It is at one quater on request of the company printing the banner. It has a high res texture image (embedded) on the babk layer and the rest is all vectors.
When the image is printed (and scaled up 400% in the process) will the high res image be printed at the highest resolution available? If not is there an easy way to scale my artboard guides, all objects and effects up by 400%.
I am doing some freelance work and the client sent me several .ai files. They were a mess, and should have been created in InDesign to begin with, so I transferred them over. At the time, I copied and pasted the links, but of course, the images don't show up in the links panel in InDesign. I'm assuming this will be an issue for printing, is that right?
I went to find the original links, and couldn't find them anywhere in the folders I was given. When I looked at the .ai files I was given, I found out that the images were embedded. When I select an image, I cannot choose to "update link" or "edit original." Those options are grayed out.
How do I get those embedded images to InDesign in an appropriate format for printing?
I'm using Illustrator to crop and arrange a number of raster images. However, I'm starting to have file management problems, because the Illustrator files quickly balloon in size.
Example: I got public domain jpg image of a deer off the Wikimedia Commons. This jpg image is 0.35MB. I opened up a new Illustrator document, placed and embedded the image, and saved the document (with the 'pdf compatible box' unchecked). The resulting Illustrator file is 7.7MB in size, over 20 times the size of the embedded jpg image.
I've looked around these forum, but other than the 'pdf compatible box', I couldn't find any good solutions. Is there some other option or preference that I could tweak? I need to use embedded images rather than links, but the files are getting out of control (>100MB).
The screen capture at the end of this post shows the situation. In the top folder in the screencapture, the image file is highlighted, so you can see the filesize. In the lower folder in the screencapture, the Illustrator file is highlighted, so you can see it's filesize. Then you can see the open Illustrator document on the right. (edit: the forum software is no longer allowing me to add images, so I've put the screencapture on Google Drive here: [URL]
The .ai file with the embedded image is here: [URL]
I'm using Illustrator CS6 64-bit, v16.0.3 on Windows 8-64.
We struggle a bit creating a seamless repeating pattern that includes embedded images with clipping masks applied.Our pattern is a 550x550mm black square with various embedded inserted on top. All of these images have Clipping Masks applied to hide unwanted areas.These images are placed so they create a seamless repeating pattern and this includes areas that overlap the square.Once we create a swatch from this pattern the repeatable area becomes too big as it includes the unwanted areas hidden by the clipping masks.Because the repeatable area is now too big it's actually not repeatable.
Pathfinder/crop to delete the unwanted areas in the images etc.We though of just live tracing the images, but due to the complexity this is not an option.Do we really have to do our "cutting" in Photoshop .
I am one of the people who found that PSP X6 has problems converting embedded color spaces.
After some difficulties I eventually got a case number which meant that I could get some support. I supplied a problem description and sample files to first level support. This is the reply that I received:
The file was saved as 16 bit TIFF with ProPhoto as the color space, this one is a big factor because PaintShop Pro (X5 or X6) has its own color space and is only supporting RGB color space. It is normal for PaintShop Pro to convert your image to sRGB because that is the embedded color space. Also, I suggest you to contact ProPhoto to know what do they support or if they support PaintShop Pro.
Color shifting is normal due to the color space that is being used by a specific program (i.e. PaintShop Pro). Colors that are not within the range of RGB color space will be determined as imaginary colors.

I created some images in illustrator. Saved the images as a .tff. Put the images in a Word.docx. Looks great. Convert the word.docx to a pdf and my images have jagged edges. I have anti-alaising check in my preferences but still the image looks bad.
When placing images in photoshop (CS6), their quality is diminished such that they are too blurry to edit. They're high quality photographs and scans... What am I doing wrong?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've been experimenting with using Gaussian Blur on uncompressed TIFF images. The TIFF images consist of scans of printed images with a screen ruling.
I've been noticing an 8x8 blocking artifact when compressing the blurred images to JPEG's. (The reason for not using the scanner's Descreen feature is so that I can selectively blur.)
Here, a JPEG without prior blurring appears on top, and a JPEG with prior blurring appears on the bottom:
Would blurring the JPEG, instead of blurring the TIFF beforehand, be preferable?
when printing to our HP T790 from autocad we are getting blurred images. we insert our images by ' insert raster image'.
here's what the problem looks like.
When I save my renders in 8-bit tiff formats, the images are slightly blurred. They do not look as crisp as in the render window.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was working in LR 4 on Mac OS 10.8.4 when I suddenly saw the preview of an older jpg-file when moving the cursor over the image folders: The half of it was blurred. I moved into the folder to find the image and clicked another jpg file. Half of it turned blurred and somehow inverted as well, see here: [URL] .....
I starred at it and in the library view more and more image turned this way. There was an icon next to the images, when I clicked it there was something like (translated): "metadata for this photo was changed by LR or another application. Should LR import the settings from the disk or overwrite the disk’s settings with those of the catalogue?"
There was no new version of the file or something like this. All affected files are jpg files, some from an old smartphone and most from an EOS 5D MII.
Saw something in a magazine the other day: photos of products with a "smart phone" icon and caption saying "Scan this photo to be shown a video (or product info)."
Am I right in thinking that some kind of QR-type code is embedded within the printer dots of those photographs? And, can we produce such images in Photoshop (CS6)?
I have some embedded images in Frame Maker that I need to edit in Photoshop. I copy the image from FM and paste it as a new image into Photoshop. Most of the time its OK, but sometimes it comes up like this, or worse.
It should look like this.
Pasting the image into any other program (i.e. Word, Visio, Paintbrush) works, but it takes more time to fix it, the size is usually off and needs adjusting, and the output is of lower quality.
In FM, the images that seem to do this are JPEG / Frame Vector or PNG / Frame Vector according to the Facets field.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSometimes I am working with "heavy" files, images of huge size and when I thrown them to corel it really starts to slow down. My question now is, if I remember correctly there is an option when you import an image to corel it just keeps the path of the image and adds the image on corel on very poor quality just for you to work easily. When you are finished you just make something and the paths of the images are replaced with the originals.Where can I find that option?

Under Windows images, only the first link Tile is active. That means I can only have one layout open at a time. The next four in that section are grayed out. I need to use the last one, Consolidate all to tabs.
I re-created preferences and also did a system restore to a prior date without success. I am working on a class assignment and digital scrapping layout.
I'm reconstructing an old document originally developed with PageMaker. I've recreated a half dozen pages hopefully with more uniform techniques. The original line art for the pages was created in AutoCad and some were scans. To bring them into InDesign some of the art is now in psd format and some of the newer art is in Illustrator AI format.
I've noticed that the pages with photoshop art print pretty quickly (about 30 seconds). The ones with Illustrator art take much longer (about 1:30 seconds). They go through a flattening process.
I print these 50 page books on demand and that additional time would add about an hour.
I guess the question is whether this is normal and to be expected or not. If it is I'll likely turn everything into raster before going into InDesign. That, however, seems like quite a bit of extra work. Going from AutoCad to Illustrator (to add stroke) then to PhotoShop to change to raster and then into InDesign seems like a pretty convoluted work flow.
I'm quite new to illustrator and I am trying to make a company catalogue.

Someone has sent me an Illustrator file and it has the embedded image I want to use. How do I extract it out of the AI file. I want to use the image in Photoshop or Flash and I am tired of using screen grab. I want the full resolution of the image in the AI file.
The image also has a clipping mask, is there a way of extracting the image as a clipped image because it has all that unwanted image I don't need to use.
I have the following pdf what was created with Wolfram Mathematica 8: [URL] ....
When I import it in Adobe Illustrator (CS5.5 on mac), embed it, and tren try to move it, I get the following error message:
"Can't move the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too large".
I had a client send me a word document as a pdf which I dropped into Illustrator to make it print ready. When I pulled the file into Illustrator, two of the embedded links, which happened to be the logo of said client, did not show up. The file is in the links panel and shows it as embedded, I can even see the bounding box when I hover over where the logos are supposed to be. However, when I open the file in adobe reader or acrobat, or even preview, those logos show up. Illustrator showed no errors and none of us caught it so it was printed without the logos.
Is there an explanation for this and how can I check for it in the future just in case it happens again?
I'm putting together some design specs and I want to create a clickable table of contents that will navigate to a different section of the document. IE. artboard #27
From what I've seen thus far it looks like I can add links but only to websites and they are only clickable in PDF mode.
Is it possible at the very least to make my clickable TOC when converting my document to a PDF? and, is it possible to make it clickable even if it is in .ai format?
Every time I open an Illustrator file, I get an error that it can't find my links and I have to re-link all of my images. Why is this happening, when I haven't moved either the linked image or the Illustrator file? Even if I save my Illustrator file, then open it right back up this happens.
