Deformation of shape during a resizing in Illustrator

I am designing icons for the moment and have placed 9 boxes evenly side by side with 3 pixels above and to the side. The idea is to create windows to place on an icon which will feature a building. I have grouped the and even turned them into a compound path, but when I reduce the size they distort and do not retain their original square shape. Some of them melt into eachother or becomes rectangles crushed. I use the SHIFT key and the selection tool on the bounding box (I double checked that I had not selected the direct Selection tool). Even if I use the negative option before the squares always distorted when I resize the final shape (building). Any help would be appreciated.

Roofie,

Working with the snap to grid of pixels can be assistance (precious), but in this case I am afraid that it works against you; It is not good, when you change the size, in particular to reduce them.

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. It is crucial that the checkbox is disabled completely, not just a - which also count as ticked.

It may be noted that even align with the pixel grid is cleared with all the selected objects, align new objects to the pixel grid is checked as the creation of new objects will result in these new objects being aligned, even when they are created from existing objects that can happen with Pathfinder operations.

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

  • QR codes batch resizing in Illustrator CS5 to png format.

    Hi people, I produce works for printing consisting of several versions of labels/way-markers indicating similar graphics, elements of individual texts and two unique QR codes by label.
    The problem is that production of QR software produced different sizes of content-based QR. On my label in Illustrator templates they all need to be the same size, for example 34x34mm.

    Change the size through the dialogue of transformation works perfectly, but one at a time is a pain. You use Photoshop batch resize, blur of the edges.

    Is there a process in Illustrator to adjust several objects (targets) to a common size.

    See you soon,.

    Eugene.

    If the QR code images are all in a single Illustrator file... or you can get them there, they could be batch resized using the script Set All The Things.

  • Object changes shape during transformation

    Hello

    This used to work fine, now all of a sudden, when I flip an object through the Horizontal or Vertical flip command it is resized proportionally, or fairy.  Track OFF not just a little.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Esther,

    It may be a corruption of preference. You can try to:

    (1) close and restart Illy;

    (2) close and restart the computer;

    sometimes 1) or (2) allows, otherwise, you can reset the preferences:

    (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (irreversible)

    (4) close and move the folder (more laborious but reversible);

    Or it may be interference from another application; You can have a quick glance at section 7 in the other options .

  • Resizing an Illustrator for Flash file?

    Hello

    I was wondering if there is a way to resize a doc Illustrator before importing it into Flash?  I have three different sizes according to res screen, cause I can not make properly by scaling just the movie to the size of the browser, so need my Illustrator file original output originally 1280, then 1024 of the text and finally 800.

    See you soon

    Shaun

    Your problem is the way in which you use the type on bitmap images, combined with the effects, which are finally pixelation effects, not vectors. For this a scalable solution own Flash, you will need to write the script in Flash code to adjust the effect values according to the size of SWF file, rather than the scale of the result. Since the time that indeed, it seems easier to create different versions, if you do not want to regenerate the whole shebang in Flash.

  • Issue of conversion/resizing in Illustrator CC

    I am a very frustrating bug in AI CC. If I have an object/group/trace quite complex and I want to resize it (hold down the SHIFT key to constrain), points and random anchors get distorted so I lose spaces carefully built and curves - even simple circles get horribly distorted. It is bad enough. Telephone support was not helpful and could suggest only workaround solutions I used already (by first a symbol), but it's not really useful in the design process.

    Does anyone else know this?

    On an iMac Fusion Intel Core i7, OSX 10.8.4

    Simon,

    We are talking not snap to grid of pixels, are we?

    You can try to untick the box if checked in the transformation Panel. In the Options you can also uncheck the box for new objects.

  • "Bleeding" colors during a resizing smart objects

    Bit of a strange, that. In Photoshop CS6, whenever I create a dynamic object with the intention of resizing, whenever I reduce it, where a flat color collide with one another, it creates a really ugly "bleed" - kind of the same effect you get when you take a little picture and try to enlarge:

    bleed.png

    I zoomed in on this part to show how bad it looks. Especially on the upper part of the forearm, see how he got some kind of 'halo' white before the black outline? It now seems that I drew a slightly darker outline around all levels of shading, and it seems really bad, almost like a raised/carved effect.

    Of course, it is not as noticeable when zoom you out, but this is. If it helps, I noticed the same thing happens when I just resize the image using "automatic bicubic", but when I select "bicubic / nothing else", the purge does not occur. Kind of makes the tool once incredibly useful dynamic object little pointless now.

    This never happened with any other previous version of Photoshop which were dynamic objects and I barely got hands on CS6 a few days ago so if there is a preference/really obvious setting or something that I'm missing, please let me know

    Thanks in advance x

    Resizing of the smart object uses the method of interpolation image defined in preferences > General. The default value changed between CS5 and CS6, and many people don't like change.

    CS5 has by default the bicubic.

    CS6 is by default set to automatic bicubic. Auto translates Bicubic Sharper when reducing the pixel dimensions and bicubic smoother at the pixel dimensions increase. Bicubic Sarper tend to oversharpen and create ugly artifacts like the halo that is plagueing you.

    Set preferences in CS6 to simple to make as CS5 bicubic.

    CS6, free transform now also has an independent for interpolation control when pixelated layers are being targeted. He is set to bicubic automatic by default, so simple that bicubic value, too.

  • When you edit PSD files, png elements have a white background during a resizing

    Hello

    I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.  When I open a psd file that I've worked on and saved, when I try to resize them or somehow modify the different elements (layers) of the layout, they get a white background inside the for this layer's bounding box.  The different elements (layers) where the extraction from the png files that have transparent backgrounds.  White background does not appear when I initially resize or change diapers.  It happens only when I reopen it the psd file saved to make a few changes to it.  What should I do to stop this from happening?

    Thanks in advance for you help!

    Philippe

    You cannot move the location of project PSE 6 and 7. You move this way elements become a sort of semi-smart object on a layer special passthrough. Use the copy/paste or drag it from the palette layers in the png file in the window of the main image of the psd file.

  • Shape cutting of jpeg in Illustrator CS2

    Hello

    I want to 'cut' a dollar sign ($) as a jpeg image so that I can 'see through' the dollar sign for what is behind all this. I tried to do this several times using the path tool transparent, divide objects below, and everything else I can think. Nothing works. First of all, I flattened the jpeg image. Then I create outlines of the dollar sign. When I select the dollar sign and the jpeg format and click on 'Create a compound path' I get the error message: "unable to make a compound path. A compound path is unable to combine with a regular path clipping mask. "I have no problems cutting through a vector image. For some reason any this jpeg gives me problems. Can you help me?

    Thank you

    You want to set up the same way and make an opacity mask inverted.

    Select it $ and jpeg format with the $ on top can be the living text in case you need to change in pounds or euros.

    in the transparency Panel select in the dialog box do the masks of opacity and transparency setting panels uncheck if selected clip and check the Invert.

  • Brush shows not right during a resizing

    Why is my brush half visible only when I enlarge, it has like 40 pxls = O

    80 ~ 100 pxls = I only get 1/4 of the circle like this)

    100 ~ and more = I do not see more brush

    This happened also when I use the brush to vector

    can someone help me

    It's probably a problem with the GPU driver software. It is recommended to install the latest GPU driver.

    I also experienced the partial brush in CS5, but I hesitate to change the driver since everything is good in CS4. Right now I am trialing CS5 and do not want to break up CS4 by antics with the driver. (Install the latest driver on my GPU Bridge CS4 breaks.)

  • Pathfinder-> fracture changes shape in figure

    Hello

    I am doing a leaf. I followed this tutorial:

    How to draw a map in Illustrator CS5 - beginner tutorial - using the pen tool and Gradients - YouTube

    At approximately 02:40 in the video, she tries to use the pen and pathfinder tool--> fracture to a line in the middle. When I do the same thing as what is happening:

    divide.JPG

    As you can see it the leaf tip doesn't look so good. It's the best result I got after several attempts at this. It is literally impossible for me to use split the way it does without deforming the shape of the leaf.

    Exactly how to fix this?

  • Resizing a Rectangle "proportionally" (with shift) is not proportional.

    I can't understand what is happening.  I duplicate a layer that has the shape of a rectangle (marquee used to make the form, create a new layer, it filled with a color) and I want to resize the background layer to make it big as a framework.  I don't need an exact 2 inches on both sides, but I don't want the rectangle to increase the exact same on both sides as I hold the SHIFT key and make it so when I Center them both there will be an amount that is equal on all sides.  Pretty much is the definition of proportional, right?  But for some reason, no matter how (lock the proportions of the h/w, just hold shift across the Middle, use shape layers and resize instead of framing area), I get a side more and more more than the other.  The percentages of width/height (when I click on that instead of pixels or inches) increase the same, but the pixels and inches are growing differently.  I don't want the percentages increase proportionately, I want the real INCHES to increase proportionally.  Am I missing something simple?  Help, please!Scale Rectangle with shift.jpg

    It's a puzzle for sure, and I don't know an easy way to do it. A few ways to achieve this:

    #1

    Select all (Ctrl a)

    Select > modify > contract.  Insert the number of pixels you want to reduce the layer, (ensuring that apply effect to the limits of the canvas is checked.)

    OK, inverting the selection and press the delete key.

    #2

    Add a layer mask and the layer mask choose inside of the desired amount of the race.

    Right-click and apply the mask layer.

    #3

    Free transform layer and put the new values in pixels in the Options bar.

    If you do not reduce by a large amount, place the cursor in the width field and hold down the SHIFT key while pressing the arrow down.  Each press will reduce the value of ten.  In the height field tab and repeat the same amount.

    If there is an easier way to do it, I'd be glad to know what it is.

  • How to disable click + hold + drag to see how the object is resized in 2015, CC Indesign?

    I've recently updated for Indesign CS5 to CC 2015.

    In CS5, during the resizing of an image into cmd and dragging the corners, the content shows how it is resized 'live' by default (the content inside the img/text area shows how it is changed with every movement of your cursor clicked pixel). In CC, please either let go of click to see the resized image or click and hold the choice to see the change 'live' while dragging. This happens when you simply move the text/image box to a new location.

    Is there a way to toggle this function?
