• Photoshop: Edit a linked smart object in Illustrator

  I've created a few vector shapes and text in Illustrator and paste in Photoshop as a vector object smart. I re - uses these elements, so I the converted to a linked smart object. Awesome. But now, when I double-click items in Photoshop to edit in Illustrator, the linked file just opens preview (I use Mac OS). It is possible to manually edit the linked file by double-clicking it in the Finder and selecting open in Illustrator. It is possible but not very effective. Converted into a dynamic linked object removes the ability to quickly open/edit my Photoshop vectors?

  Yes, it removes only the ability. To be able to do what you want, you must integrate the smart AI object in your file. It is inefficient.

• Linking of indesign and illustrator files

  Hello

  I was wondering if it was possible to link files between Illustrator and Indesign and have an update in real time whenever I have to save the file, that I'm working on.

  I would work on several designs on separate Illustrator files and would need files Indesign update accordingly when I save the Illustrator files.

  Is something like this?

  (sorry if this is a stupid question, tried searching online and on the forum but can't find anything)

  Files Illustrator that are placed in an InDesign document updates automatically if the Illustrator file is opened from the InDesign document.

  Otherwise, the link will display as changed in the links Panel, and you can choose the update in the Panel menu.

  In addition, when you open an InDesign file that changed the links, you will be offered a dialogue to update at this time links here.

• Why my Illustrator file linked with an opacity mask to my Indesign file a washed out appearance?

  I have an indesign this work of Illustrator related uses of the file. The illustrator files contain opacity masks, and when I import into my layout indesign they give the bottom of the pages a washed out appearance. I noticed that the page in my project Indesign who doesn't have opacity masks linked seems fine.

  So, I know that the opacity mask is performing the indesign document somehow but I don't know how to solve the problem. I tried merging the texture in the opacity mask, flattening of the illustration illustrator, paste the illustrator shape directly on the page, save the work as a PNG; but nothing seems to work.

  Here is a picture of the page with the related work.

  

  Here is one of how the page should look like.

  

  Here is the configuration of my illustration illustrator opacity mask. Its basically a group of white textures I pasted in the opacity mask. It's a single layer.

  

  If anyone has any ideas or ideas, I would be happy. I hope I have provided enough details.

  Thank you for all your help. I thought about it. I did the background texture in photoshop and converted to grayscale. Turns out I should have converted to CMYK. Once I did this everything unified in my indesign document.

  Kind of a moment of c ' h but good.

  Thanks again for all the quick responses.

• Particular Illustrator file links all appear as the large pixels in Indesign? (broken links)

  Hello

  I ran into one of those questions where I don't know what to even Google to try to resolve this problem. I made an illustrator file that all of a sudden connect correctly in InDesign, there a lot of art cards in there (21) that the link to the document number and this strange group of pixels now appears in all of them, put an end to any progress.

  (Inserted below, picture left image)

  

  If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated!

  Thanks in advance.

  The file is saved with the PDF compatibility? And if the link is broken or out of date, you must remedy.

• You can extract higher resolutions of Smart Objects or linked smart objects?

  When I design at resolution of x 1, can I retrieve assets of smart objects and smart objects related to 2 x or more? If so, how they evolve upward?

  Yes, with reservations.

  PSD and Illustrator smart objects are also a new made and scaling smoothly to the requested resolution.

  Other dynamic objects (including those with filters) are only intensified since the resolution they are running in the Photoshop file. If you want to perform a new rendering, you can paste 100% resolution in a linked smart object and get the scaling smoothly.

• How to add metadata to a linked smart object?

  Hello

  I would like to add metadata custom linked smart objects. This metadata should not be visible in the Photoshop application but should only be accessed from javascript in extensions CEP. Also it must be registered with the PSD file so that when it is reopened I've always read. How can I do? Thank you!

• Display linked smart object problem?

  I was really kissing linked smart objects recently. However I found on a few occasions, there are cases where a linked smart object seems to strangely, and I see pixels rounded curiously - almost as if she started scaling the picture a bit.

  

  The smart object linked above is correct, but the one below (linked the same file) is rendered differently. Two smart objects have been placed with identical dimensions, any scaling that occur here. Whenever I for now, place this file in the PSD I have this display problem. Around him, my only way is by duplicating that rendered correctly.

  Has anyone else encountered this problem?

  I worked on it.

  Essentially, when you insert the linked smart object even if I was seized to display 100% width & height (by default, that it has been globally as the source PSD has a smaller width/height), I had to then move the smart object after setting width & height 100% in order to then render correctly.

• Where are my linked smart objects linked too?

  So, I spent an hour looking online for what I thought was going to be a simple answer. Did not find.

  I work with a large team and we use linked smart objects. Us link to change some of the smart objects related to others. Normally I the old version of archives and solve the problem when I noticed the broken link, but I can't take the risk of a person including bad assets before that he go to dev.  Y at - it a simple dialog box or something that tells me that it is other files my linked smart objects linked too?

  I think that a Scripting solution is possible, but no default option for that comes to mind.

  Edit: An approach to script can use the filePaths listed in the XMP metadata but that gets refreshed only to save, it seems, so if the files have been placed as connected or associated SO deleted since the last save those not translate correctly.

  Including registration in the Script might however, make much of time and with 'Save in the background' it could still be problematic.

• Linked smart objects nested within the smart object, not automatically update

  I notice that if I have a smart object bound or smart, group with other layers in a new smart object feature updates of content updated the stops working and has to be done manually.

  This would be the creation of a mobile application by saying where I need the same key throughout all my 10 files.

  Say I have a button throughout several documents and would like to be able to easily change the color in all documents. I'd create an object bound and intelligent color sample. Then in my paper, I put this object linked above my shape of button and create a clipping mask. Then create a dynamic object out of these 2 layers.  I place this same button in all my documents. In my mind, I would always open the object bound and smart (color chart), change the color and it should be updated for the buttons in all of my open documents.

  This is not updated in the document all. Need to go in the dynamic button object and update updated content.

  While the detection of changes to the linked smart objects or update a linked Smart object, Photoshop examines the immediate linked file. Links embedded within dynamic objects are not updated.

• Attract importing Illustrator files in Adobe

  Hey all,.

  I am a bit new for adobe draw and love it a lot. However, I can't find out how to import illustrations I created in I draw from Adobe. I'd like to change these files with my pen and give the drawing a more natural feel. Also, if I import an idea file in illustrator and make changes, those changes will appear in the draw?

  Thank you!

  Currently, there is no workflow in support of .ai files layers in layers .draw.

  the only way you can bring your illustrator file in a project of drawing lots is reference as a layer of bgd raster/photo.

  But if you're already starting in Illustrator, you can easily go back to illustrator to draw.  Once your drawing is open, move the layers in your existing AI project.

  regarding the file Adobe ideas (idea), all your layers meet discreetly as they were in the ideas.  The transparency of each layer is also honored in the transfer of ideas to draw, but there is no way to switch to illustrator between ideas in the draw... It's a direct hit.

  Slightly off topic: you can imitate the draw brush styles in Illustrator using a mouse.  If you want to use a pen with your computer, Wacom works well with illustrator.  If you want to dig deeper, there are 3 large part plugins for AI such as AstuteGraphics

• Problem opening Illustrator file created in a newer version

  I am trying to open an image file that was sent to me by someone who uses a newer version of the AI, I.  I'm working out of CS4.  I also work out of Windows if it matters.

  When I try to open it, a window pops up telling me she was created in a newer version and data loss can occur, I would like to import?  I click OK and then get a message which reads. "The document contains PDF objects which have been reinterpreted."  I click OK again, and it seems that the file is open.

  Except when it is open there is no image displayed.  He was in the lower left corner reads as follows:

  It is an Adobe Illustrator that has been saved without content PDF file.  Instead or open this file in other applications, it should be re-recorded in Adobe Illustrator with the option 'Create PDF Compatible file' lit.  This option is in the dialog box Options of Format native Illustrator, which appears when you save an Adobe Illustrator file by using the Save as command.

  I know that the image is there I can see it in preview on my computer.

  Someone at - it ideas about what I could try to get this file to open it?

  When to open a new Illustrator file accesses the part file PDF.

  Explanation (please look at to understand) https://vimeo.com/117691712

  The preview of the file on Windows is something different. It is not vector data, but just a glimpse.

  Ask the person who sent the file to downsave to CS4 for you. Will be the best solution, because the PDF content is flattened in every possible way.

• Help with the creation of color sets in the Illustrator file

  I'm repeating a specific background image on every page of a calendar and want to change its colors on each page. There are 2 shades in the image using a total of four different colors. I am not at all skilled in the theory of color and I was wondering if someone can please tell me if there is an easy way to come with harmonious color combinations that I can apply to the original Illustrator file? My solution shortcut would be to convert color to grayscale and apply a color overlay, but the image will seem just flat when I do this. I prefer to set the gradients individually but do not know how to find the compatible colours.

  Here's a preview of the image, followed by a DropBox link to the Illustrator file.

  Thank you!

  Couple for you ideas:

  First of all, try to use the color wheel on color.adobe.com.  Select the middle color and add your hex code of the color.  The app will automatically show you similar colors.  See an example of here. You can also experiment with other rules of color in the color rule menu (just click on one of them).

  Second, take a look at themes created by others.  If you are generally looking for colors that work well with the yellow, you can browse the most popular themes and identify some that use yellow.

  I hope this helps.
