View 1 RepliesI am creating a design which uses an elliptical fill. When exported as a .pdf and opened in Illustrator, the fill is given the name "non-native art" and is rasterized. My question is this: if the print job were for the side of a van, could XDP be used to do this and retain a pure vector output?

All I see is: White Black, Gold Dust, and Blue Sky.
I know AI has a ton more gradients premade than that so why aren't they in the list? How do I add more to that dropdown?
If I have a jpg or PSD file of a picture frame and I wanted to have the center be transparent how would I accomplish that. I have a program called PRO Show Producer that will let me put a picture in motion into the transparent window of a picture frame. I have a picture frame but the center is not transparent. I'm running Windows Vista.

I hid the picture, and saved the overlay as a PNG-8, hoping that the variable transparency would hold. It didn't. The question is, is there a way to control levels of transparencies in a GIF or PNG?
I already know you can edit the Color Table and select different colors, or shades as it were, but there doesn't seem to be any way of implementing 50% transparency. Or really anything outside of either it is or it isn't visible.
I have a little X icon (all gray) against no background, and there aren't any other layers. It doesn't work if there are either..

I am trying to edit a pic for an avatar and need them to have transparencies (i.e. no white space around the pic) and dont seem to be able to do it in PS Can it actually be done or do it have to go with gifs ??
I'm using an Epson Perfection 4990 Photo scanner. I need to tell the scanner I am scanning a transparency but there appears to be no way to do this in Elements 11.

Look at the attached picture: the text beneath the transparent shape looks jagged; same with drop shadows. This happens only with PDF/X-3 format; I would choose Acrobat 6 or 8 format, if I could, but that is the file format the printer service wants.
Is there a way out?
I wanted to upgrade from PSP 8, which doesn't work well at all any more since I installed Win7 to the newest Corel's PSP x5.After downloading and installing the 30 day demo I went to view some of my saved PNG & PSD files which have transparencies, but PSP x5 will not display the transparencies, instead it turns their backgrounds into a solid white.
I'm still using GIMP 2 which has no problem showing my transparencies, why won't PSP x5 show them and what do I do I need to do to view my transparencies?
Illustrator CS6 exports to PNG with unwanted transparencies. I've done everything I can think of but some of the shapes in my Ai file with 100% opacity are still showing the layer under them in the PNG export file.

I have trouble working with transparencies inside a symbol. It also does not work if it is power-clipped inside a symbol. The error message is as follows:
This item cannot be stored inside a Symbol. The item must be removed in order to be able to finish editing this symbol.
this same procedure works in Corel X4.
When useing my old favorite graphic software MS Picture-It i often need to apply overall or border transparencies to many patches. Since im enjoying the pleasures of GIMPs select definitions which absolutely cause no distortions im often thinking - this be the only missing thing. Am i correct or do such functions like previewable halfways restoring of the previous look plus border fading indeed already exist in the new GIMP?
View 10 Replies View RelatedHow do I easily change all different transparency levels of one color to a new color with matching transparencies? I want the antialising pixels for parts of my logo to keep the same transparency, but change all pixels with the same color to a new color. Everything I have tried so far doesn't seem to work, and I must not have the recolor tool figured out. I'm loving Paint.Net, but a little frustrated right now.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm somewhat new to Edge Animate and I'm trying to incorporate simple animation into a DPS piece that my company has been publishing for the past year. A few questions:
1) Is there a "trick" to getting transparencies to work? I've had zero luck so far and I'm beginning to resign myself to just putting the entire design into the Edge composition as a work around. There must be an easier way? I'm hoping I'm missing something simple and obvious. From my research, I've gleaned that the poster image feature is a major player in all the headaches. Speaking of which, do you have to start over and rebuild a comp everytime you need to publish without a poster?
2) I've noticed that playback is really inconsistant. Most of the time, when I first swipe on a page, the animation won't play at all. Subsequent swipes, and it begins playing fairly consistency.
3) Finally, is there any guidelines for SVG settings used in Edge? I found that many of the vector files I was using in comps were messing w/playback, so I ended up subbing them out for pngs.
I have need to combine 2 objects into 1 bitmap. Top image is a black (K 100) box with 50 tranpareny, bottom image is just a rectangle with red fill C 0 M 100 Y 100 0. When I combine into 1 bitmap coreldrawx5 is dropping out colour. Maybe using 'normal' rather than 'multiply'. When viewing with proof colours turned on it looks like B) even before combining. Looks like there must be a setting somewhere where Corel that controls how it combines colour of objects as it converts to bitmaps but for the life of me i cant find it.
A) Should be like this with combined B) Converts to this with combined colour

I started scanning my film & transparency archive and the next step is to import the scans into LR5, but I don't know how to add additional folders into the catalog. So far I have 75 folders going back over 30 years. Assuming I should import the scans into folders by year they were shot and not by the scan date.how I go about importing these folders into LR.

For some reason when I sleceted the logo I couldnt access the change brightness contrast option in effects. So I simply made a light gray rectangle, placed it over the logo, clicked on the rectangle with the transparency tool, changed it to uniform, and changed the mode to mulitply or add or something like that. It looked great on screen, but when i sent it to the laser printer with some post script LPI or dot pattern options for the lighter grays, nothing printed out at all from underneath the rectangle.
I tried it through our copying machine, and it worked, but the copying machine has no built in halftone effects for grayscale.
I downloaded the new trial Corel X6 installed on win 7 64-bit.I have trouble working with transparencies inside a symbol. It also does not work if it is power-clipped inside a symbol. The error message is as follows:

I have a project that is currently in 720x534. I would like to add a layer behind it that has the same height, but is wider and I don't want to mess up all the layers that are done in 720x534.
If I try to change the composition settings, it stretches out my original work.
I've tried creating a new project with the wider composition setting and simply importing the original video to layer over top. That works, except that I lose the transparencies of the original.
How can I either add a layer to a project that has a different aspect ratio without affecting the other layers OR export a video with transparencies.
When I export a CorelDraw file to Illustrator, Corel has a habit of turning all objects into transparencies. So I have to convert them back into opaque objects in Illustrator, which can take a long time since I'm doing illustrations that have on average 1000 + objects, most of them opaque. I'm using the default export settings, and changing which version of Illustrator I'm exporting to doesn't seem to work.
I'm wondering if this is a glitch with CorelDraw X5 or do I have some box checked that shouldn't be?
I am attempting to edit a scanned abstract drawing where many of the colors are similar, resulting in them printing as all the same shade of red. I am attempting to change some of the reds to have a greater degree of shading. I am aware that I can probably do this using masks and RGB tweaking; but it occurred to me that I can also use a drawn shape and color fill with transparency to change the shade. This worked very well; but it caused one problem I don't know how to solve.
The image I am editing is intended to be uploaded to a website named Zazzle that takes your artwork and puts it on their products. This includes anything from notecards to canvases, to clothing, to shoes, etc., etc. Customers browse the site to find products and images they like. I also have a free webpage on the site where I can promote the sale of these items with my artwork on them.
The image must be a high resolution preferably png file which can be resized greatly for the canvases or left as is for notecards and the like.
While experimenting with the size of my image, I discovered that the edits I performed stay the same size while the rest of the image increases. Is it possible to make the edited shapes part of the scanned image so they will increase and decrease with the rest of the image?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently wrote myself an action that includes a gradient layer (two colors in radial so one color is in the center and fades to another on the outer edges)
The gradient's position is exactly as I want it when I return the action on horizontal images, but doesn't work on vertical, as the gradient stays horizontal when the action is run, and so the edges are more or less lost.
This might be a daft question, but is there anything I can write into the action so it knows when it's running on a vertical picture, and when it's running on a horizontal one, so the gradient layer will have the corresponding position? Or is this (as i have a feeling it might be) a case of inserting a stop, and message telling the user to manually adjust the angle of the gradient before continuing?
I have been trying the achieve a smooth colour gradient in one of my PS drawings using the gradient tool. No matter what I do I alway get banding. The worst scenario is when I try to use radial gradient.
I'm using large (80x50ins@200dpi) 8bit psd files on a colornavigator calibrated Eizo CG301w. (Vistax64)
Greyscale gradients are really smooth but the colour gradients are not....
