Gum Illustrator tool simplifies paths?

• Pen tool, some paths, basic shapes, etc.

  Hi, first sorry for my bad English.

  I bought the ipad pro and pencil to apple, when it came out last year, trying to replace my macbook and imac in illustration and design work. I hope that Adobe, as one of the major design software developer, would a pro for us software "artists" in a few months. Not need to be too pro version full of mac os, but at least something that works for all kinds of artists:

  1 - drawings of hands free

  or

  2 precise geometric designs

  The first option in this version of works "Illustrator draws" regular, not great and not bad. We can make several good designs, the quality is good. But whenever I need a more specific move, small details. Frustration begins: no path, no selector to move a part of the drawing (just move the entire layer), etc.

  In the second option "illustrator draw" is simply not do work with this kind of artists (my case). I hate to be repetitive, but all I can say is that I tried to work with adobe apps with my ipad pro and apple pencil. And it is impossible (for my kind and style of work).

  I downloaded graphic Autodesk and Protosketch. Two of them, it is much MUCH better that Illustrator draws, I can get the end result in both entities. There's the pen, Bezier work tool just fine, select traced, paint, paint, move, align, insert the position and scale, remove and what I want is possible with these applications.

  So my question is, why adobe do not develop an app that make already what these apps do for years?

  Where is the pen tool (Bézier, etc.)? where selection points? where is the base of any vector software?

  Hi Lucas,.

  I'm sorry to have taken so long to answer. Thanks for posting.

  When the draw was created, it has been designed as, well, adjuvant to Illustrator CC. something that would allow people to start a project away from the desktop computer, and then complete it on the desktop.

  People have started using it to learn more. That has intensified since the introduction of the iPad from Apple Pro and a pencil and we receive many requests and suggestions to make the application more "useful". And we take them seriously with regard to the evolution of the draw. That said, despite the fact that they are requested with a certain regularity, I am not sure that the plan is to incorporate an Illustrator - Bézier or the selection tools in the app. I would like to have more information for you...

  I pass all comments along to the team produced and I'll share yours, in its entirety, with them also.

  Thanks again for taking the time to post.

• Illustrator of main path is not displayed correctly

  I can't understand what is happening here. Help, please! Front square box occurred with the rectangle tool, no change of parameters (it is uniform, basic, STROKE 1 pt 100% black). Lines vertical and horizontal to make the rear edges of the box are the same - uniform, base, extends from the anchor to anchor of the small paths to make this 3D box. Why it shows like this? Regardless of what I do - increase the weight of the race, try different types of brushes, etc... the edges will connect completely. I left the top horizontal line selected so that you can see the path goes from anchor to anchor, but when not selected, it shows the same as the vertical line on the side.

  

  whitneye,

  Try the new beta version of the GPU Illustrator,

  https://Adobe.allegiancetech.com/cgi-bin/qwebcorporate.dll?H3VUK6

  that will take you to 2015.1.2, which seems to solve some of the unresolved issues with the patch/update, 19.1 (which gives you 2015.1 CC), which should solve known issues unresolved with 19.0.1, which was to deal with issues GPU and a few others.

  Or if you don't have a 19.1, try that. If she does not appear, disconnect and then reconnect the creative cloud application. After that, the 19.1 update must be visible in the creative application of Cloud.

  Otherwise, you can try to switch between GPU and CPU by pressing Ctrl / Cmd + E, or you try disabling GPU performance by clicking on the icon of the rocket in the bar of the App, or on the top of the menu bar, deselect the box Performance GPU. You may also uncheck performance GPU in your preferences.

• Tool pen & paths...

  Hello Photoshopers,

  There's this very nice Harley-Davidson (in fact, what Harley-Davidson isn't beautiful?)...

  I've been using the pen tool for almost a month now... I'm really good with it now, mainly to help make my more accurate selections... I didn't even bother to try to draw even with her...

  Anyway, I was already kind of sleep when I started sketching out the chopper with the pen tool... I am pretty tired & saved what I did in a PSD...

  I'm regretting now, but... At the time, I did not like if I would be able to choose the right there where I left...

  In Illustrator, I know it would probably save my anchor points...

  When I click on my palette of path, I can see some of my plan... But the rest is supplemented with white as a form...

  With all that said, in Photoshop... Is there anyway that I can pick up where I left tracing the lovely Harley-Davidson?

  Or...

  I have to start all over again?

  FYI

  I tried to use the Direct Path tool and the direct Selection tool... My anchor points remain invisible.

  And to continue with an open path, simply click on element at the point last (or first) with the pen tool.

• How to insert photoshop image with a work/clipping path in illustrator using the path?

  How to place an image in Illustrator using the clipping/work path created in Photoshop?

  I have a .jpg of an object on a background image. This image has a clipping path that écrêtera the background of the image. I could clip the outside background (in Photoshop) and save the image as a file .psd with a transparent background, and then insert the .psd file in Illustrator... it's easy. What I can't understand is to place the image (bottom) .jpg and use clipping path Photoshop be clipping path in Illustrator. In this way, I can take this clipping path and use it as a layer of gloss spot for production. I work on a Macbook Pro and CC2014. Thank you.

  But you can export the path separately in Illustrator, then he get married to the JPEG placed as a clipping mask.

  In traces of Photoshop Panel, target the path, and then choose file > export > traces to Illustrator...

  He'll write a .ai file. Open and select all (it's a quick and easy way to 'see' the path because Photoshop it will export with no border or background, leaving mostly 'invisible' on the artboard Illustrator).

  Then you can copy it to the collage at the top of your JPEG placed. Position them as you like, select this option and the JPEG format, then choose object > clipping mask > make...

• Illustrator converted my paths to forms and can not go back.

  I recently received the creative cloud Moleskine sketchbook and I had a lot of fun drawing in there, then send my images in the cloud where they are converted to SVG. to work in illustrator.

  I did today with a project of typography and worked for hours and hours, adjustment knobs and redraw the paths of my original drawing. long story short, I've accidentally closed my project. When I opened it the file he had saved my progress but it converted my paths to the forms and I can adjust is no longer handles and paths, and the project is unfinished.

  Is it possible to go back to my footsteps of created forms than illustrator origin?

  I work with Illustrator CC 2014

  Unfortunately, because you saved the .svg and not .ai file, he has not kept information of line width that you need, using only a single path.

  My guess is that you have saved as .svg, using the menu drop down and then closed without saving a .ai version. Without a file in this format, you will have to re-create the type still once.

  Always save a version in format .ai and then "export" or "Save as" in another format. This is a good workflow to get the habit of doing.

• Illustrator CS6 - Image path (sketch)

  I'm sketching an image. In photoshop, I found the edges (save), and then opens the image in illustrator and made image trace. I got an image perfectly described.

  The problem: I can't get the same results with only illustrator image trace.

  I changed the settings to advance a few times to get the same result, but without success. Corner and threshold settings are ok, but I get more paths and noise I want, with the settings at the bottom/1 respectively.
  I also tried the grey setting range since the image is often gray, expand, etc., but no dice).

  Can you help me?

  Hi Jholland83

  Have you tried the following combination in Panel of track of the Image :-->

  (1) trace the image with "Outline" preset

  (2) increase the number of roads and corners at 100%

  (3) reduce the 'noise' 1px

  (4) now try to increase the value of the 'threshold '.

  Maybe you can be closer to your desired result.

• Alignment with or without alignment in Illustrator tool is not accurate

  When I try to align the two objects using the alignment tool in the file (two objects any) alignment is always disabled by a mm or more. Even when I try and align manually and drag the two strokes to coincide, there is not, it slides above or below by a mm or more. It isn't the amount of my 'push', so I don't understand where this arbitrary figure of difference came. Aligned to the pixel grid is not enabled, are "guides." Please help, I've had this problem with many (not all) of my files on IA CC.

  

  Select the objects, take the transformation Panel and check if "Snap to grid of pixels" is turned on.

• Forms of Illustrator tools does not properly

  When I try to make all forms in illustrator they keep repeating:

  

  I restarted Illustrator several times and deleted the pref file.
  In addition, it is not the keys stick on the keyboard.

  Can anyone help?

  Thanks in advance

  In fact I solved the problem myself.

  There was a problem with my keyboard that I unplugged and plugged again and everything seems to work now.

• Illustrator distort the paths during the measurement

  I suffered for years, expecting adobe to fix it on their lame bunch of updates, but no luck so I decided to ask for help here, but I do not expect any employee adobe, OH NO, that people are really lame when it come to solutions.

  But I hope Im terribly wrong with this one because I really need a fix for this, I can't take more.

  In fact Im even if this waiting not to find a solution which is strange, because the problem is on CS5, I've NEVER known such horrible behaviour with illustrator.

  But given that Adobe is a sort of monopoly and no one competes with them they can do what they want and never he care (like the gel with Photoshop CS5, I've even seen in my macbook with snow leopard).

  In any CASE, I can be rude, but I find insulting much the price Adobe for free their software and ultimately I have this:

  

  I have suffered from this distortion for a long time and have been infected logos, patterns and icons, I did, making them IMPOSSIBLE to scale.

  Which is ridiculous, that point to accomplish on vectors, if I can't put them on the scale! Seriously, if you people don't find this ridiculous offensive, speak to a psychiatric hospital.

  Is as funny as if I save those files, .eps and scale on After Effects, AE scale correctly, that... sucks.

  Sorry if anyone feels ofensed by the way I express, Im trying to not not like everyone here, Im just saying what I feel and experience as a customer, and IT sucks.

  If someone wants to download the file to see the effect of your self and maybe to find a solution to this, this file:

  I can provide any other file that is affected by this effect of "adobe as" if necessary.

• Does anyone know of an extension of the Illustrator who simplifies UPC-A codes

  The UPC program has expired, you are looking for a direct extension for Illustrator. Anyone know of any?

  I used Code bar of SNX Pro to generate the UPC on the labels and packaging for a dozen years. This program is essential in my work. You can give them a glance.

• Error with Illustrator Outline Stroke & Path Finder CS5.1

  Hi all I recently tried CS5.5 on Windows 7 64 bit. I've been playing with it and have found that whenever I try to sketch a line of a filled object, the fill is moving slightly. When using Pathfinder the same type of error also occurs. I've tried both in CS5 and they work very well so I don't know what goes wrong, I wonder if anyone has the same problem?

  Turn off "Snap to grid of pixels" for new documents and valuables in the transformation Panel.

• Path of distorted - Illustrator

  I don't understand why my paths get distorted in illustrator. The path can be perfect and Illustrator will be distorted. Is there something wrong with my settings? I use CC on a macbook using Yosemite 10.10.5

  

  If you can tell, my line is perfectly straight and the black line is not. Please help, thanks.

  

  My course also be stripped when I do small...

  Looks like the problem of the grid Align to Pixel. Try to select everything and in the transformation Panel uncheck the Align-to-Pixel Grid box and also disable on the rollout.

• Different Illustrator 5.1 tools

  I just got a new job and they are a little behind and still using CS5

  I used CS4 and CS6

  Illustrator tools are significantly different, for example the selection tool I cannot resize or rotate.

  My question is, it it supposed to be this way or the installation is messed up? (I tried to reset the preferences, either he did not work or did not help).

  I'm sorry if there is a whole topic on this somewhere that I looked at, I know it's an old version.

  Hi Joanne,

  Please try using view-> Show Bounding Box (Shift - command - B).

  I hope this helps.

  Kind regards

• Tool base gum produces more transparency

  Photoshop CS6: In the past, basic Eraser tool produced transparent areas by operating on the background layer. Now he producers background color. Magic Eraser tool and background eraser tool work as it should, that is, they produce transparency whenever I select. How can I get the gum base tool behave?

  Yes, I see what is happening to try it. I create a new file and it comes with a base locked layer called 'background' A locked layer will not allow you to clear the transparency until it is unlocked. So far nothing unusual.

  1. same thing here, gum uses background color. It's because the background layer is locked. The background layer should be replaced by a floating layer.

  2 Yes, same here. What happens is that it changes the background layer in a floating layer. You see the name of the disconnected layer

  "Background' to ' Layer 0 ' in your layers panel." " It then clears the transparency.

  3. because computer is no longer a background layer, your basic Erase tool can erase to transparency.

  4. the magic erasure tool does the same thing: change the background into a layer 0.

  So yes, the Eraser tool can produce transparency, but the layer must be unlocked first. The Eraser tool is not open like the others.

  I don't know what you were doing before, but so far, nothing is broken in Photoshop, the Eraser tool works as expected.
