• Gradient Feather is change the colors to export.

  Hi all

  Here's the scenario: I have a background image (in this case, just a jpg white rectangle as a link) with a gradient feather marine, covered on top, created in InDesign. After the export as a PNG, it turns into a strange shade of purple (see below).

  Merger of transparencies space: RGB

  Color settings: screenshot

  Any ideas of what could be the cause? I started to incorporate more feathers in gradients in our work, but it just left me speechless and frustrated. Many thanks in advance.

  

  

  You have a double transparency is that the PNG exporter does not like. So instead of applying a 75% overall transparency in the effect controls panel, set the 75% left in the gradient dialog box.

  

• How to manipulate the color of my feather degraded on a picture. InDesign.

  Hi guys,.

  I do a magazine of landscape and I applied a gradient of feathers over a picture (as a copy). The point of the gradient feather is to allow the copy to stand out a little more on top of the image.

  I can't find a way to change the color of the gradient feather?
  I tried to keep the copy and the white of the title and maybe play with a transparent gray gradient. I haven't completely decided.

  The answer is probably look me in the face, but at this point I'm tempted to use only an opacity in the copy area. :/

  See you soon!

  

  If you want to do in InDesign you have superimpose an image on top of the image, add a mixture and adjust its transparency. The mixture can be black or gray white set to multiply with transparent amount adjusted according to needs.

  I prefer to do this kind of thing in Photoshop as an adjustment layer, which has the (slight) advantage do not add transparency to the page and perhaps more control over the color. Something like this curve with a mixture of sound adjustment mask. I can white Option arrow-click on the image of the layout to open in PS and adjust according to your needs:

  

• Transparent gradient

  I want just a simple transparent gradient black on an image.  When I use the "paper" for a color shade (as say Adobe directions), it appears just as white.  I can make them very well in Photoshop and Illustrator, but can't make it work in InDesign.  Or gradients stick correctly in other programs.

  Other parameters do not create the effect either - mixing effects and do it just like a muddy gray on the image.

  Please help, thanks!

  I use InDesign CS5.

  In InDesign, it's a process different, as indicated below.

  1. Create your box as a solid color - your black case
  2. With the selected area, go in the effect controls panel and the "fx" dropdown, choose "" Gradient Feather. "
  3. Play with it to your heart's content.

  Hello

  GradientStop can access.

  obj.transparencySettings.gradientFeatherSettings.opacityGradientStops

  It is a collection of OpacityGradientStops.

    type = 1635282023/*GradientType.LINEAR*/;
  
    // GradientStop settings go here???????
    with(opacityGradientStops){
      // by default, it has two stops
      for (var i=0, iL=opacityGradientStops.length; i < iL ; i++) {
        $.writeln(opacityGradientStops[i].properties.toSource());
      };
      // you can edit
      opacityGradientStops[0].opacity = 0;
      opacityGradientStops[1].opacity = 100;
  
      // you can add a gradient stop, but add at end of collection
      // so remove last stop, and add again
      // do you have any nice idea?
      opacityGradientStops[1].remove();
      var mid_op_grad_stop = opacityGradientStops.add({

• How to get rid of the feather effect degraded to an object, either plan or any object?

  I used the feather degraded to an object in a file, now even if I apply solid color chart on any other object, it takes the gradient feather, not the solid color, gradient not even normal, how to get rid of this effect?

  Please help, thanks in advance.

  You must have defined the feather gradient with nothing selected. THA makes the default for all new. Then deselect everything, disconnected the pen and try to not do that again.

• Shadows without distortion?

  Hi all

  I am trying to create a drop shadow in Illustrator for a logo. I thought that I understood using edges to feathers. Once I went to place the logo in another document, and resize the deformed feather logo. I would like to avoid having to change the settings every time I use the logo. I should mention that it is the shadow around the type with that I have a problem. Is it possible to flatten the shadow just to prevent it from deforming. I like to keep as a vector in addition. I'm sure it's a simple solution, but I feel like a newb here and get frustrated.

  Thanks for your help!

  Basically, when I resize the logo, gradient feather, I had in the original runs and is not as visible.

  When you place the file in InDesign or Photoshop, it won't happen.

  You can also place the Illustrator file in another file (linked, not embedded) Illustrator. Or you could do a symbol out of it.

  Even when the scale it that you might have trouble with resolution. Depends on how the chart will be scaling.

• Duplicate a Style object with implemented paragraph in the shape and layout of Rectangle.

  Hey,.

  I'm trying to reproduce an object style, but I don't know if I've set up correctly.

  I have a rectangle object with features and apply effects fx corners, gradient feather, transparency.
  I also have a text frame where there is a paragraph header and format a drop cap for the main text paragraph format.

  

  

  Rather than go through this process again, I thought create an object style would save time, but how do I group these two frameworks (framework text and rectangle shape) and apply an object style? I am only allowed to apply an object style individual the text block or rectangle object. It also doesn't help when I try to create a rectangular frame around two previous topics.

  In the paragraph style Panel, you need to change your paragraph style "Header."

  in "next style", you have to choose which style you want to be next.

  You can apply your "object Style 1' and tick 'apply the following Style'

• Missing tools in Indesign CS3 on Mac

  In the middle of a business meeting has changed my INdesign workspace and several essential tools are now missing from my box to tools.  The paint bucket tool used to reside under the gradient tool is now gone - the only options available are the tool shade of gradient and gradient feather tool.  Similarly, the Brush tool is absent and the Eraser tool, I used to work with that disappeared.  I tried to restore my default workspace, tried setting the base workspace and tried to restart my computer without result.  The Toolbox is here, missing just a few tools I was using just a few hours ago.  Any suggestions?

• White type in the text box with fill with transparency

  This page of color in my INDD document a lot of transparency on this - in the following stacking order:

  1. downstairs are two boxes gradients covering the entire page.

  2. next is a background photo that's an advantage to feathers.

  3. then comes my text box that floats over a part of the photo in the background. The text box is filled with a gradient purple feather. The text box contains 8.5 PT. White type (Helvetica Neue Medium).

  4. a transparent dingbat straddles a corner of the text box.

  Where the white guy is pictured in the background, a color is reflected type. I have not noted on the PDF, but of course, the work of back of the printer, you can see.

  I thought all type except automatically eliminated black?

  I pulled out the file using PDFX-3 (1.3) because my printing does service provider ' t supports the 1.4. I underdstand this version flattens transparency. I scanned "Print Production Guide for transparency" Adobe and learned that the areas of complex transparency can cause unexpected results. Is what happened here?

  When I opened the flattening of transparencies and he asked to highlight objects with 'Text of Raster-Fill and Stroke' or 'Text described', this type area is highlighted. No other boxes on this page type were noted, even where it overlaps the background photo (which has applied feather).

  Several other transparent dingbats (such as duplication of the text box) are also highlighted as 'Raster - Fill and Stroke text'. They are all on the highest layer (type).

  This isn't a disaster - it's still readable - but the details of the publication who are affected, which is important. Maybe next time I won't be as lucky. What would I do different?

  It is possible in the more recent versions of ID to the value of transparency to the object, STROKE, fill and levels of content, and I suspect that you have applied your effects to the object level. I was able to recreate what you see as well by using the gradient feather tool and in the effect controls panel and using the pen it y to the entire object. Oddly enough, once the gradient feather tool has been used I couln can't access options in the effect controls panel or in the menu object.

  In all cases, if you can, select the block of text, open the effect controls panel or object > Effects > menu feather degraded, remove the gradient feather and reapply just the filling.

  If you are not able to do so, copy the text, delete the block of text and create a new and paste back the text, and then select the image and apply the gradient feather to complete using the effect controls panel or the menu object.

• InDesign graphic opacity

  ID 5.5, Mac Lion, JavaScript

  I used to be able to:

  Error string: object does not support the property or method 'opacity '.

  There is a fairly simple solution to this?

  Thank you.

  Uh, no

  The new FX in CS4 and higher caused all this 'simple' parameters to disappear and move towards separate settings for the line, fill, and 'object' and in the case of images, also for its content. All the these can be addressed by (breath in) bevel and Emboss, fusion, directional feather, shadow, featering, gradient feather, inner glow, inner shadow, outer glow, and satin. It doesn't make it easier, they have added not just one level, but two.

  Delve into the reference , to the tree of objects from top down (and left to right, sometimes) and try the thing randomly (what, exactly, do change the contentTransparency? I don't see any change, but you pouvez 'Cancel' in the interface), it finally worked.

  myGraphic.transparencySettings.blendingSettings.opacity = 30;
  

  It is true that, far from your single image.opacity line.

• File not correctly place ID CS4

  Hi all!

  I'm having a problem feeding some graphs of the id I tried to drag the work, place the work, save illustration in PSD/TIF/PNG and then place and I have the same question to every hour.

  Implementation is CS4 on Win7 Ultimate 64 bit, i7, 1 GB dedicated graphics card processor.

  What I am looking to place is the text vector-flattened with a reflection of Web 2.0 style created with an opacity mask.

  I have also tried to flatten the reflection and I still get the same error.

  When the chart is placed is extremely low resolution, but also, it strangely fits in the background color which is a box in the locked A-master... !

  I am correctly place on the page and not his mistress, then I'm really confused as to what is happening.

  I dragged another component of the vector from the same file have the same identity document and it works very well.

  Anyone has any suggestions as to what's going on / what am I doing wrong?

  I have attached a jpg low resolution of what I'm trying to transfer to ID. I don't want to transfer the whole as an image thing, because I want to control the background color printed within the ID to maintain the consistency of the color in all pages of the document ID.

  Basically plants can be dragged across don't ID of AI no problem, but the Type and vectored reflections don't...

  The second image is the best result, I succeeded so far - as you can see far from ideal :-)

  Thank you!!!

  

  

  First, dragging of IT is the same thing as copy/paste. For simple art, you get editable traces, but the thoughtful type is not simple art and it seems that if you lose the transparency mask. As suggested Scott, save and palcing type .ai should probably run (white color), but you don't need really worth. You can set they directly type in the ID, keep 100% live and editable and get exactly what you want:

  

  The background is a picture, and the type is in three additional images in the face, together with filling [paper]. I applied an opacity to 70% (not a tinge of 70%) to Jonathon let the background bleed through a little and the Millennium of the second picture of Peterson before using the gradient feather tool to weaken it. Double-clciking the tool gives you access to the gradient ramp and stop for fine adjustment. Looks like I've used more space between the type and its reflection, but it's all live and can be adjusted however you like without leaving ID.

  I don't know what you mean that it is embedded in the frame on the master, but it seems to me that you have an empty backstory unlocked with a fill color on the master page. When you use the place command in the live page, if you place the cursor over this area of frame, ID will replace the main chassis and put the content in there, as it would with a block of text type. Which can easily be avoided by making a background layer and locking.

• Is there a tool feathering degraded as in InDesign?

  Im trying to find the same or similar tool in Illustrator that I use in InDesign all the time which is the gradient feather tool.  Its basically a gradient tool where instead of mixing two colors mix together in the Middle, it mixes solid and transparent.  Is it available?

  Opacity can be applied to points of gradient in Illustrator CS4, not in earlier versions. The control is in the gradient palette.
