Beginner question: resizing/scaling of images, STROKE and workflow.

Hi all.  I am new to the world of the Illustrator/design, so my apologies for what may seem like a stupid question and I thank you in advance for the advice.

Basically, I created an image in illustrator that I want to use at different sizes.  I thought at the start: "Hey, it's all the stuff of vector, so I should just be able measure it goes up and down without problem!  However, I quickly realized that while paths are vectors, the stroke applied to paths are not, and they do not change proportionally when I adapt paths.  So, if I increase the size of the image, the objects that were once touching now have gaps between them, and if I reduce the size of the image, certain traits begin to overlap. Just to be perfectly clear on what I'm talking about, here are a few screenshots:

Original Image scale Small scale image

My questions are:

  1. Was my assumption that 'Illustrator files can be resized easily and inconsequential"simplistic and erroneous?  (It seems that it is!) Please help me understand how illustrator is or is not useful to create scalable images.
  2. Is the right way to manage this just to determine the need for size and have separate AI for each size files, or is there a way to 'better' which implies not manually kicks setting for images of different sizes?
  3. Third option of comedy!

nvenet,

The perception of the way it should be is correct; but there are a few strangenesses that can mess things up.

An important one if you have strokes & effects of scale checked or unchecked, in this case, it must be checked, and I believe that it is unchecked.

You can find it in the Transform palette dialog box.

You can consider the object > path > feature of contour, then Ctrl / Cmd + SHIFT + G to ungroup, then Pathfinder > unite to change the path traced in a simple filling/nostroke. This will work regardless of features & scale effects.

Another important is the ghost of pixel grid Align attribute which may haunt you, know well in other cases; often you can recognize by distortions. If it isn't:

You can select the entire document and untick finally align on the pixel grid in the Transform palette and uncheck also align new objects to the pixel grid in the options of the Launcher.

And you can avoid the types of documents with the default (RGB for the web and other) or change the default value for such documents.

  • Question about size of sequence (anamorphic) and the distortion of the image.

    If I create a sequence with sizes 1920 x 810 is a way to bring images in the sequence and did not get distorted? I would prefer just to crop the top and the bottom of the image. Ultimately the file video or original, but just the size of the sequence remains the same. Is this possible?

    Right click on the clip on the timeline and if "Scale to frame size" is checked. If so, turn it off. This can be done globally in Edit > Prefs, but only affects clips when you import, does not affect those already in the project.

    This should provide the effect desired cropping the top and bottom, but always curious to see how it will be out. If you want to go to Blu - ray or whatever it is a "standard video", then it is preferable to use the full HD image size and add black bars to get the 'look' that you want

    When I try to batch photos to resize in Scripts > Image Processor function, an error message that says: "comand"Pen"is not available. What can I do to fix this?

    Yes Adobe tile action fails with the error when he didn't is not the active selection. Note that the Cut Out, built-in frame and thumbnail (selection) after their name. These actions require an active selection to the selected mobile dotted lines before using the action.  Action seeks to soften the selection that were provided to you.  There was no selection, so there is nothing to be flag.

    In addition, the step of the pen in the action of the tile is an interactive step on its dialog box is.  An interactive action defeat as the design of the Image Processor script commands.  Isn't interactivity in a batch.

  • resizing of the images smaller

    I am trying to resize an image to a smaller size, but I keep losing the image quality. I understand losing quality if I was the bigger picture, but is there a way to make the smallest mage without loss of quality. Or at least a workaround solution? I have a logo as well as a screenshot, I'm trying to insert a marketing document that I am putting together. Does anyone have advice for me? Thank you.

    Whenever you resize a raster image quality will be lost. It is more obvious when you enlarge it, but when you reduce the size you also lose the quality. This is due to the fact that the pixels that make up the image are resampled, and it isn't a "perfect" way to recalculate the. When you reduce the size of the image generally the image will look a little blurry and losing some details. When you are in the Image/image size window, you can change the size of your file now "resample" option on and try the algorithm diverse offering of Photoshop, you can find them in the drop-down list, preview, if the final effect. The "Automatic" option will choose for you, but you can also decide to use an alternative, with bicubic more net Photoshop will add more contrast. If you are not always satisfied with the details, once you resize your image I suggest you add sharpness filters to get some details back.

    BTW, logos must be in vector graphics, in this way, you have no problem resizing and design will be clear and constant in all sizes.

  • Resizing of the images at the same time

    I have a lot of images I want to resize. The images are all rectangles and same size. I want the images to be smaller and square. Is there a quick way to do it with all the images at the same time?

    If your native images are rectangles and square, you must use the crop tool to get the defined areas. Otherwise, your images will appear distorted.  Unfortunately, batch cropping rarely works well less that all the images are perfectly framed and centered.  From my experience, cropping requires human judgment.

    That said, you can create a crop tool Preset (size & resolution) that can help further your workflow.

  • Extra width after you resize my background image

    I create this site by using a screen 15-inch and after viewing on a larger screen, 21 inches, the image background looks too small.

    Fixed it by resizing the background image. However, now the side scrolls to the right, only to show the size of the background image?

    To check the same:

    • Open the site with Muse
    • Press Ctrl + 0 (Cmd + 0 for Mac), to tailor the site to the window
    • Press Ctrl + A (Cmd + A Mac), select all
    • And check if any element is located outside the width of the page

    Also, check the same for master pages.

  • How to I resize a larger image 72 DPI to the smaller image quality but of good size stick in the brochure

    Hi, I'm trying to resize a larger image from wide 16 cm saved at 72 dpi for a smaller image of wide from 5 cm to quality for the prompt for an art show I'm having. I think there a lot of information on the picture therefore it is great, I just want it condensed into a smaller image. If I adjust the size of 5 cm wide, it changes the dpi to 230 which would be better for printing (the 72 dpi is much too grainy). However when I stick it in the flyer that I do in photoshop it sticks like a massive picture. I then tried to drag the corners to make the right size and it became even longer than a 5cm wide 72 dpi image. I hope that makes sense for a person. So basically I need a large document size of 5cm that I can put in my small circular which is the best quality that I can do! Thanks in advance!

    What the PPI is the file that you are trying to drag in?

    You are able to view your office showing the two files... ?

    If you convert 16 cm/72 DPI image in the image of 5 cm/240ppi and then save. Then check the ppi with the flyer. If the flyer is still important with a low resolution will give you the cross between them so the magnified image of the ppi is displayed in big on the flyer paper.

  • How can I add filters just the brush strokes and fill the painting not pencil.

    Sorry, it's pretty hard to explain in the description.

    I want to know is if I can pretty well just select the brush strokes and filling on a coat of paint and have the strokes left alone.

    I want to filter, and then fade brush strokes and fill on the paint layer but keep the sharp pencil lines, I made a paint filling and brush rubbed on a different layer than the pencil strokes, but it takes forever because I draw the image each time twice, using the brush strokes to go along the pencil lines so I can fill it with a color, if I could their blur on the same layer without the pencil strokes then I could fill just the pencil lines the lines with the Brush tool with paint instead of redarwing if that makes sense.

  • Resize the Bitmap image in the image control in flex3

    I'm loading an image in the image at the start control. Then I am a color transformation applying to this image and want to load this bitmap in flex3. That works, but automatic resizing does not work then. If I load another image, then AutoSize works well. Image control does not support resizing of the same bitmap object image?.

    Here is the part of the code:
    < mx:Image source = "{imgpath}" id = creationComplete = "imageCompleted ('MyImage'); "x ="20"y ="30"width ="365"height ="440"maintainAspectRatio = 'true '.
    / >
    private void applyColor(event:Event):void {}

    myBitmapDataObject = new BitmapData (myImage.height, true, myImage.width, 0x00CCCCCC);

    myBitmapDataObject.draw (myImage.content);
    myBitImage = new Bitmap (myBitmapDataObject);

    myBitmapDataObject.colorTransform (myBitmapDataObject.rect, new ColorTransform (1, 1, 1, 1, 39, 76, 135, 100));
    myImage.removeChildAt (0)
    myImage.load (myBitImage);


    }

    Any help is appreciated.

    You must create the BitmapData as the size of the original loaded image, not mx:Image height and width. Simply convert you / copy only a portion of the original size that matches the size of the Image. That is to say. whether you have a picture of 400 x 400 and your Image is 100 x 100. Your BitmapData is created at 100 x 100, NOT 400 x 400, you need to do. Everything simply because you resize the Image, does not mean that the underlying BitmapData is also resized.

    Also, in general, addChild would serve after removeChild, never used charge myself. Not sure if this is important.
