The same problem in Illustrator CS6 (but it appears from a few version of CS back).
I have document in an Illustrator. The document is generally for print, I don't using them to making website, so without using Slice tool.
I need have separation pdf so first I print the document to postrscript usind pdf ppd. Always the same settings:
1. General - only media size
2. Marks and Bleed - none (i mean all off)
3. Output - mode: Separations (host-based), and rest like is: emulsion: Up, Image: Positive, Printer Resolution: 71lpi/600dpi
4. Graphic - none
5. Color Managment - none
6. Advanced - none
7. Summary - none
After printing I have a separation, pdf file. Always appears vertical and horizontal thin white lines, like document was preparing for website and sliced. Can I use some settings to avoid this situation? I tried a various setting but the lines always appears..
How to create these thick/thin lines like in the atom illustration I've added here:
I need to create arrowheads (two) as well on each circular shape, so that's why I'm trying to figure out a technique of doing this through the use of the LINE tool (for easy addition of the arrowheads, obviously).
how do I create nice thing lines that are curved, I used the pen tool and then stroke the work path but it doesnt look the same because if I use a really thin brush...say 1 px, it comes out edgy, and thicker brushes create lines that are too thick.
I did use to round selection tool to create a circle. Then, I strike with or a fuzzy 1-3 pixels brush and look at the shi.... result a I get. My straight diagonal lijes look just great but the circles are just awful.What can be done to have the circles with lines as clean as the straight ones?
My sister has some drawings that she want to scan and send to me. They use very thin pen ink. She then wants the pen strokes to be colorized and turned into water color strokes.As an experiment I tried using the "Artistic-Watercolor" filter on some thin lines and the results were lame.
All of the watercolor brushes I have seen online seem for comparatively wide stokes.Is there a filter or action that could turn very thin ink stokes into realistic looking watercolor strokes?
When you create shapes that fits together, there appeares a thin line that also shows when you make a jpeg from it. I'm a vector contributor at iStock and making a preview jpg with all those white lines looks really ugly (see attachment).
Here is a simple solution. Copy your shapes on top of each other and the lines are gone. This way your work stays 100% vector. For work that hasn't to be 100% vector, you could make a bitmap copy and place it under your vector image.
I have many 3d metal sheet metal drawing. When I put the model into 3d model in to 2d layout, I see many 'lines' on flat surfaces. The 'lines' seem to be showing 'reflective effect'. However, it really cause problem when I give this to my boss. He asked why I cut the sheet metal into so many pieces. How I can set autocad NOT to show those unwanted lines?
Executive summary of need: turn a color, line-and-fill Xara image into a very thin black line, no fills, no other colors.
I'm reproducing a 1930s - 1940s decal from a toy crib that we're restoring and repainting. The original decal on the headboard is deteriorated and flaking off, so I decided to reproduce it on clear inkjet waterslide decal paper. (White paper wouldn't work because of the open area between background ovals and the figure itself; here's the reproduced decal image - imagine everything not in color to be a clear area: )
However, since inkjet printing doesn't include opaque white, I need to manually paint white on the decal sheet behind the ovals and the figure to make the colors pop and to prevent the pink-painted crib background from showing through. I'd like to take the Xara image, copy it, then turn the copy into a very light black or gray line with no fills. This becomes guidelines for hand-painting
I'll print the black line version first on the decal sheet, paint white on it, then print the color version over top.How do I transform a copy of the original into my guidelines?
I'm working on uploading GIFs onto a website I'm working on, I'm testing them on a completely white background #FFFFFF, more specifically the background of the webpage is white. I've saved the GIF with the least amount of colors while maintaining the integrity of the image. I've saved the image with transparency and no matte, there is a thin border around my GIF. I've saved the image with no transparency and the matte matching the webpage background, there is a thin border around my GIF. I've saved my border with transparency unchecked and matching matte color with the background color of the webpage and there is still a thin border around my GIF. I don't know if it has anything with the artboard or what? I've even tried the above and saving it as a PNG and the same happens. I've attached a picture of what the image looks like once uploaded, as you can see it appears in just about anything I design with illustrator.
Okay. So our designer is using autocad 2013. He is using a pc and he is sending me the files (i'm on a mac) and the thinest lines do not show or print. But, they print/show on a pc! I need to be able to print these. I've searched the web and found nothing.
I've stroked around the outside of a person with a black stoke. On a new layer below the stoke layer ive filled the person in but it leaves like a thin white jagged line in between the fill and the stroke and it doesn't look smooth.
I'm making a realistic looking customizer (similar to NikeiD and Reebok YOUR). I used the pen tool and pathfinder to make each zone (shape). After I made all the zones I used the clipping mask on every zone to include the photo of the pad so the colored zone looks realistic.
However, once I make the clipping mask on all the zones, about a 1px gap appears between all the zones. How do I fix this so there is no gap between the zones (fyi: I used the divide and trim pathfinder tool so there is no space between the zones in outline view)?
PS: I'm aware that I can turn off anti-aliasing in the preferences, but that doesn't slove the problem for web, only print.
I am looking to make a brush that I can use for cartooning in CS6 that starts out thin, gets thicker with pressure (I have a cintiq), and ends in a thin line.
I genereate the inital image in AutoCAD, export it as an .eps file then format the image using Illustrator CS5. The files are then placed into an ExCel spreadsheet where the lines will not show up.
When using Illustrator I change the stroke of all lines then drag the artboard edges closer to the object leaving a space around the object. After formatting the very most bottom line of my thumbnails will be missing. I've tried placing the objects at a different reference points in AutoCAD before exporting the file but this has not worked. When running CS3 I never had this problem.
I designed a vector in Adobe Illustrator CS6, but when saved as an .eps file, white vertical lines appear in my gradient.
What is happening? I've tried rasterizing the vector at 300 PPI with anti-aliasing, but the edges look jagged (but I really want to keep it as a vector anyway)
I don't know whether it's relevant, but I'm using process colours (but that's only because I couldn't get spot colours to work properly).
I created my resume with horizontal lines to divide the sections, work history, education for example. When I exported the file as a PDF, it opens beautifully in Adobe Reader. However, when I open it on my iPad or iPhone, those lines are missing! What can I do to make those lines appear when I am viewing on my iPad?
I am using live paint to paint cartoon character illustrations. The artwork is brought into Illustrator CS3 and live traced. Then I convert it to a live paint group and use the paint bucket to fill. Everything looks fine no matter how much I zoom in. If I bring the AI file into Photoshop CS6 I can see a thin white line between the black line art and the fill. This is most noticeable where black meets black. I can also see this sometimes in file previews while browsing through files. If the white line cannot be seen in Illustrator is the file ok? I did just upgrade to CS6 if that would make a difference.
I need to transform a lot of dashed (single) lines into separate lines... Who can tell me how to do this in a few clicks. I don't need an outline of the dashed line. So the black dashes I need, the white in between the dashes I want to loose.
I have created a business card layout in PS 7. It will be on white and I would like to add a very thin double border around it. The only way I know how to create a thin border is by using the rectangle margee to create and merge 4 "strips", but these are too wide.
how I can make thin borders and be able to set the colors? The each need to be different colors.
I use Corel DRAW for writing articles in Telugu ( a South Indian language)I have been using X4 from 2008 on-wards.This is how I do it.
I use Edit PLus Version 2 for data entry...no formatting at this stage.Then , I copy and paste it it in Corel DRAW.Formatting for font, line breaks, paragraph breaks etc. is done in DRAW.Then I ‘Publish to PDF’ and I get very clean PDF file....absolutely no issues.The fonts are developed by local vendor and are Type 1 format. I never print them.
Some of my recipients have printed on laser printers.They too had no problems.I send them as attachments with my emails.
About two months ago, I purchased and started using X6.Here the PDF file appears very faint.
The same thing happened with X5 also.I am not able attach same PDF files as they are around 1 MB ...with the same text and all other parameters.
I'm using the pen tool tracing a drawing and want to create the line thats thick at one end and thin at the other, like calligraphy type lines, how tdo you set them up?
I am trying to make thin line boxes like those seen on sites like yahoo! etc... when I create a box using the rectangular marquee, and make the border 1 pixes, it makes the line too thick. Any idea how to make a finer line/border around a box?
Ok, first off my friend is a little bit on the chunky side so I wanted to take a picture of him and edit in Photoshop making him really skinny like anorexic so you can see his bones and stuff... pretty much like a walking skeleton... can anyone help me on how I might be able 2 go about doing this?
when I have a document filling the screen (i.e. click ctrl+0) there is a thin white border surronding the image (see attachment). This does not show at any other magnification. Not happened in any other PS iteration (long word!) Would it be a graphics card issue?
what I do need clarification on is the statement in this warning "One or more bodies which are thing being treated as solids". Does this mean that the bodies that were detected fall under the criteria for being a Midsurface or Offset and that the user has the opportunity to apply these commands in order to make the analysis more accurate? So if I were to ignore this and continue with my analysis, the members will still be treated as a solid and not as a shell and/or surface (which is what the Midsurface/Offset command produces)? The members I am using that have triggered this warning are HSS 2x2x0.125 x 12' long.
