Copy and paste from Illustrator - actual size? (not to scale)

Hello, I have a question about something that I met several times and can't seem to find an answer to. when I copy something of Illustrator and place it in Photoshop (like a SmartObject), I want to set the actual size, rather than adjust to the size of the PS file. For example, say I have a PS 100x50px file. In Illustrator, I create this file PS elements. I have a component in artificial intelligence that is 100 x 50 with text down. If I copy and paste that in PS, it will not match exactly because the text gives a little extra space above and below and it actually copies as say 100x50.74px and is therefore biased (or scale truly wrong, proportionately) when pasted in the PS file. Of course I can resize manually, but it is inefficient and unreliable. It seems that there should be a preference somewhere where you can choose to paste to adapt or stick to actual size, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Can someone help or is it still possible? (seems like it should be) Does make sense? Thanks in advance!

An excellent question. I remember the time to make a document larger than my Clipboard until I found this wonderful setting.

Go to preferences > General > uncheck Resize Images in Place.

  • Image editing in InDesign (copy and paste from Illustrator)

    Hello

    I have a scenario and I hope someone can clarify:

    I'm working on a Mac using Adobe Illustrator & Indesign CS4. Whenever I have copy and paste or drag an image in illustrator into Indesign, this particular chart is not editable in InDesign, and it's ok.  I want it like this to the clerk/typists to use in their InDesign files.

    However, on a PC with Vista, when the chart is copied and pasted/dragged from illustrator into indesign, this graph becomes editable using the direct Selection tool in InDesign.  I want to know is if there is a way to disable this option on the PC version as on mac?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Perhaps the difference lies with the way Illustrator fits images.

    Here, with my trusty CS3 in 'preferences files and Clipboard' (translated from the french), I have the choice of exporting the Clipboard in the format PDF and AICB format.

    If I understand your message, I guess Mac export as a PDF and Vista exports AICB format.

    An audit of preferences would help with this,

    Good luck.

  • Copy and paste from illustrator to photoshop

    Hello.

    You used to be able to slect tricks in photoshop and copy illustrator, create new from the Clipboard and create a document at a resolution that never, over the largest wreck was the image.

    Now when you do this the image are set to 72 dpi by default, and nothing do you solves this problem for copy/paste is ultra low resolution.

    Is there any solution for this?

    I found a solution.  In each version before the CC versions, you can copy an Illustration of Illustrator (Ctrl + C) for Photoshop (Ctrl + N, Ctrl-V, input) with a nearly lossless image quality.  Since CC came, it no longer works.  The quality of the image in Photoshop is really unacceptable.

    Today, I figured out how to get things to normal.  There are just a few simple steps.

    In Photoshop CC (and this step may or may not be necessary for you) Edit > Preferences > units & rulers, change new Document Preset resolutions, screen resolution of 300 Pixels/inch.  This makes the new default value of documents at 300 dpi.

    Then (and I think that the most important) when you create your new file to paste your Illustrator file in, (for example, Ctrl + N), change the Type of Document in the drop-down list of the Clipboard to the default size of Photoshop.  In my case, who reads the 7 x 5 inches and 300 dpi.  You need to establish your new size of smaller or larger image for all to adapt, but, you will get a really strong and clear image quality when you paste your Illustrator file into the new document.

    Hope that helps.

  • As Illustrator vector pen tool or allows copy and paste from Adobe Illustrator.

    In Muse design tools are very, very limited (can't even do the triangles).

    Adding that a pen tool would allow the curved lines and be vector would speed up load time vs png or JPEG.

    Please, please, please add a vector as Illustrator pen tool or allows copy and paste from Adobe Illustrator (vector lines keeping intact).

    Yes... I know it's possible, but what I would like is the ability to simply copy and paste a curvy line (as say a wave vector) directly from Illustrator in Muse and keep a path editable vector with attributes like thinknesses different line and maybe even anchor that can still be moved.

    Once the site is finished and designed, it must then only need to be transformed and optimized raster image/s (png or jpeg) to export (depending on the output (computer or Tablet). Apple's IWeb, used to have something like years ago, so I know it isn't an impossible coding exercise.

    In addition, Flash (UGH) use flash and the most recent Adobe Edge animate not vector capabilities?

  • Bug? Quote simple copy and paste from MS Word

    I don't know if this is a bug or not. Whenever I have a copy of MS Word with single quotes (for example, it is just a 'test') and put it inside an af:inputText field, save the value in a Java bean and then retrieve it for editing, single quotes become a reversed question mark (i.e., it's just a ¿test¿) this is only the case every time I have copy the text from MS Word. Copy from Notepad or Wordpad, but also enter manually the text not produce the bug said.

    Does anyone have an idea about this problem?

    Thank you.

    ... and no, I don'think it's a bug because you are facing a character conversion, which for example also happens when copying and pasting from Word to Powerpoint

  • Cannot copy and paste from a remote desktop

    I am running Vista Home Basic, 32-bit and trying to copy and paste at the back of my desktop remote connection to my computer at home.  When I connect, I checked the tab local resources and made sure the printer and clip board options have been selected.  I even checked them once to try to cheat the system, but has not worked.  Any suggestions?  It becomes quite complicated to just double tap!  He has worked in the past, but he just decided to stop working for some reason any.  Thank you!

    Hi given dog,

    Thanks for posting to answers.microsoft.com.

    Essentially, the information on the tab local resources should have selected Clipboard.  Since you have already have this setting enabled, let me ask you a few questions:

    1. are you remoting of this system from Vista to XP system? or vice versa? or Vista to Vista?  If Yes, what is the Service Pack for two revisions of Windows on the computers involved? and these systems are all recent Windows Upates installed?

    2. you remember to load any software or maybe a mouse intelliport before this problem?  using a keyboard and wireless mouse?

    3 do the copy and paste functions work normally on both systems outside when not involved in remote desktop?

    Please let us know any information that may be necessary to help solve this problem.

    Thank you

  • Impossible to copy and paste from/to XP using remote desktop

    Due to problems, I have recently reinstalled Vista on my pc.  Before the reinstall, I could access my PC using XP, using remote desktop from work to distance and copy and paste the files from XP and Vista.

    Since the reinstallation, I'm not able to copy/paste unless I have turn off UAC.  (I have progbably had turned off before, but he didn't.)  Is there a way to copy and paste them to work without disabling UAC?  Maybe some changes in the policy or registry?

    Note: I use Remote Desktop with Clipboard selected for local devices and resources.

    TIA.

    Janis

    I saw this thread earlier and it does not apply.  I would say the copy/paste of text works.  I can't copy and paste a file.  UAC seems to be the key here.

    I found a work around.   I connect with a local drive.  Since the remote desktop, I can copy files to the local disk, which then I have the file available locally and I can go other directions.  It's a little slow, but it works for now.

  • I can't find my Clipboard when I am on my emails in order to copy and paste from email to other sites

    I can access my emails but when I need to copy a line or user name to leave an e-mail to another, or even copy anything on the web from a Web site to a page I can't access the Clipboard. Previously, there was a toolbar in the top left of my screen that says edit and when I click it it asked me if I wanted to copy or paste. Now I can not find anything.i need to try and copy a user name of my e-mail address to another Web page for access. The username assigned by society is confusing vedry and uponmy enter directly, it will not, but if I copy and paste does.that why I need to get this going

    You can use Ctrl + c to copy and Ctrl-v to paste.  Another thing you could check is display-toolbars, check to the Clipboard.

  • Copy and paste from a distance

    When I copy and paste an object, it appears my plans of work broadly. Same dough in place does not work.

    OK, I hear you. This is a new behavior of the AI right? In this case, I would try to screw up the file.

    Press and hold the keys Alt + Ctrl + Shift (Windows) or Option + command + shift (Mac OS) as you start Illustrator. Your current settings are deleted.

  • How can I audio copy and paste from one slide to another in 8 Captivate?

    When I try to copy a bit of audio from one side to the other, I copy and paste, but it doesn't work.  Should be simple, but I was not able to understand.

    Thank you

    Captivate allows you to edit audio files in a certain extent, but you must make sure that you are in the EDIT Audio dialog box tab drag, not the tab add/replace.

    You can't cut and paste a piece of audio from a slide to another using this dialog box.  You can only copy and paste audio part of the audio clip to another part of the same clip.  In order to combine audio from a separate clip you must insert the whole clip and then cut out the pieces you want.  Tedious, I agree, but it's like that.  If you have the creative cloud Adobe, Adobe Audition to edit your clips outside Captivate.
