My vector illustration looks pixelated when I scale down

I use CS5 on Mac OSX 10.7.4 and the chart looks pretty good at 100% and then the shows very well.  The design store tries to put it on a cup of good coffee, and when they scale down, it's horrible.  Pixelated everywhere.  I'm doing something wrong?

-anti-aliasing is on

-the resolution is 300 DPI

-Align to pixel grid is not checked.

Here is a screen shot in 100%

Here is a screen shot once I got on the scale being 70%... looks pretty bad.

I'm new to Illustrator and vector so I don't know it's some setting I do not understand.  Thanks for any help you can give!

Are you sure that's he art or just the screen redraw for this particular magnication? Have you done a paf of the reduced file and also shows the artifacts?

I'm curous but on the DPI setting don't you meaan PPP for the image raster effects setting?

I think it's just the magnication and you montior is not exactly to give a clean look I think that the fie is fine. This is I think make a pdf and see and also print proof.

    I have attached a picture of my question. In Illustrator, my all my text and vector Graphics look badly pixelated, even in 100% zoom. I checked the preferences and anti-aliasing is enabled. If I save my file in PDF format and view it in PDF format, everything looks great. No idea why this is happening? I would appreciate any advice.

    OK, looks like retina was the problem. I installed a software update on an adobe application manager and who has done the trick.

  • Why vector graphics appear pixelated when zoomed in, isn't Fireworks to support vectors?

    I am new to the use of fireworks, but I thought that would be great because it has vector and bitmap support. However, when I'm working with vector tools and a vector image, that I imported from Illustrator, if I Zoom in on the image, it seems that it is a bitmap image. Also, if I were to resize image fell 25%, then the tool he save a size similar to what it was in, it appears distorted and the quality will be changed? Why is this? I have this in Illustrator without these results. I thought that the vectors must be able to be resized upwards, downwards or upwards and down, and they should look relatively the same. Any ideas, what happens?

    I have screenshots of what I posted on another forum. But if you want to see screenshots, go here.

    Help, please. Thanks in advance! I really want to use Fireworks, but with this problem I might have to use illustrator and fireworks of pit all together.

    Hi Josh,.

    I think that I have solved your problem. Please take a look at the attached PNG (ninja high comes from Linda PNG and the bottom is the cleaned one). I don't think it sooner - sorry! I should remember that the features don't get adjusted, as well as fillings (not below 1px in any case). I've gave too much importance to your resizing problem and saw no real distortions of the whole vector.

    Solution:

    1) design in Fireworks. Your illustrator vector had too many unwanted pieces which I cleaned.

    2) use not too many shots. I didn't, but we do not have too many forms with traits for vectors that need resizing.

    (3) when you are satisfied with your vector to make a backup, then at the end to convert your features in fillings (this feature by using the way-3rd Panel under Edit section).

    After all it is followed, you will get a scalable vector that looks good, even when it is small. In this case, I used the race only for the eyes and were then converted into fillings before resizing to display the smaller vector.

  • When I adjust my video, so he can ride the framework, from 100 to 40, the video appears pixelated. How do I change so it will not look pixelated when I playback? Why am I wasting so much resolution?

    The resolution of reading is set on full as well as the definition of the sequence is on maximum render quality.


    I just think it is strange that once I drag the video in my calendar, the video was too important in the frame, and zoomed in, he looked much less pixelated. But once I throw the video from 100 to 46 to fit the frame, the video looks very bad and pixelated. I worked with this front camera for clips, in previous projects, but I've never encountered this problem. I use my iPhone 6 so my video is not too low resolution. Even the videos that I made after effects seems once slipped to the time line, but after scaling down to the frame (because it was too big in the framework) he lost his resolution.

    I even tried to export some of my video on the highest quality, and the video still looks pixelated.

    Make sure that sequence settings match the attributes of the source clip, then the framework should contain video. Right click on a clip in the project bin and use the new sequence of the Clip.

    You run in audio synchronization problems? I thought the iPhone using Variable Frame Rate records that first love not. Many users allows you to convert images to the hand brake before editing in first

  • Place the photos high resolution in InDesign - look terrible when I resize down! Does not work why!

    I'm a beginner with InDesign, so I'm looking for very clear instructions. I work with CS6 on a ballot. When I place very large, high resolution photos in and then try to resize the terrible resolution looks down.  I use the tool place during the import. At first I thought it was because I use the 'content to the chassis Fit' tool and who had settled the proportions. So I tried to "Adjust the frame proportionally" and who did not, any more than "automatic adjustment". I have tried to place photos and then making a control + drag to resize down - it did not work. I looked at preferences - file handling - preserve Image Dimensions (I deselected that option). Also, did not work. I wonder if the resizing affects pixels, but I don't know where to find it in InDesign. I found the instructions for Photoshop on the choice of Image - resize the Image, but not in InDesign. The other thing, on what I am wondering is that I put these pictures in a text box - which could cause problems with the resolution? Should I be placing them another way?

    Any advice would be appreciated with gratitude!

    You should always use one of the options adjustment proportional to avoid distortion. This may mean that you need to change the shape of the image frame allows you to adapt the shape of the image, or crop the image to take into account the shape of the frame. It is a reality.

    I'm starting to think that some or all the original problem may be in the jpeg compression, and I doubt that Pixillion Image Convertor is a good choice for downsampling (which isn't the same thing as compression). You can post one of these pictures somewhere for us to watch?

  • Something has changed on my account and now my vector elements and fonts look pixelated in CS6

    Today an illustrator file with vector objects and fonts that I worked on the days looked pixelated when enlargement to more than 400%. I could not find the fix so I have started a new canvas, selected all my pixelated, pasted into a new canvas and all transferred file properly so I could continue to work with my vector elements again.  I was curious to know if anyone knows what does my vector elements change in pixel and how to fix it.  Thank you guys

  • Illustrator CS4 look pixelated vectors

    As I reinstalled Illustrator CS4 in my computer, I noticed that look pixelated vectors, it drives me crazy!
    Some people say that I should reinstall it again but I don't know if it's the best solution.

    This happened to someone else? Is one knows how to fix this?

    Thanks for your help

    I am pleased that you responded so obviously sincere kind. I think that then it could be one of several issues such as the impression that something has changed, but they don't have or something has been updated is originally a kind of distortion on your scree we and your screen capture software can not see or certain Dynamics undetected is at work here. Might even be eyestrain.

    If you find that it is not so bad as you said then I think you should not think for awhile, sometimes I my screen looks weird and it's the same as it has always been so maybe just one thing in mind.
