Transparency, flattening of question (I think)

Hi all

I'd appreciate your help with this.  I tried this search through the forum but am still confused.  I think it's a transparency flattening of question, but I'm not sure how to solve this problem, and how to fix it.

I have designed for a magazine ad in InDesign CS2 and exported in PDF format.  The polaroids have shadows, which looks good on the screen:

before.jpg

But when I print I get these 'borders' ugly where the slides are:

after.jpg

Can't get rid of them, except by printing the PDF as an image.

My questions are:

(1) assuming that it is a question of transparency, how to fix this?  I read on the transparencies on the forum, but (please forgive my lameness) I do not know how to apply them effectively.

(2) when can I fix this?  I mean, as a best practice, is it something that is treated inside InDesign, or when you export InDesign, or when you print the PDF?  Was going on in the magazine so obviously they were able to fix, but I still want to know what I am doing wrong to save their extra work in the future.

I have Adobe CS2 and Acrobat 7 Pro on a Windows XP Pro.

Thanks a lot for your help.

I guess that there nothing wrong with your data at all, just that your printer handles images and vector art differently when he makes.

  • Transparency flattening

    Hey guys,.

    Picked up some fancy dancy of a file of customer CS5 executives which include the shadows. The printer tells us that they cannot deal with the slides that were created when we PDF had.

    In the export PDF dialog box, I see that we cannot change the transparency flattening settings if we change the PDF verson down for 'Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3).

    Why is this? I want to change our 'standard' PDF presets but I always worry using this old version of PDF.

    Thank you very much

    Ken

    X-1a is about as dumbed down (and archaic) you can get.

    If it passes standards of X/1-the only thing you would have to worry about is

    resolution of the image being sufficient. In addition, the file will be CMYK

    without transparency.

  • Why can I not select transparency flattening preset option when exporting to PDF?

    Hi all

    May have forgotten a few things so I didn't use this option for some time.

    In InDesign, under Edit > Aplatissements predefined transparencies, I created a new preset and included the ability to convert all text to outlines text.

    However, when I try to export to a PDF file, the option to select a transparency flattener preset is grayed out.

    Can you tell me what I do wrong? It drives me crazy! : ()

    (There was originally no transparency in the file, so I created some with a white square the value 0.5% opacity).

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Best regards

  • Green screen - question of thinking

    Hello. I don't know if it was developed before that I can't find anything... So I edit videos for people who shoot on a green background. I'm new on this. I did this at first but I will go to AE as I know AE I have more options for this kind of thing. The question is his clothes reflect green (think they left the mirrors in the room) and I wonder if there is anything I can do to solve this problem and always remove the background? There are 3 clips like this every 6-10 minutes long. You can see on her left breast and her boots are green and will understand that I was worried about the earrings and metal on her clothes! :-( Thank you all! Let me know if you need more details! I hope that there is a way to retrieve these images for my client!

    nina1.pngnina2.png

    OK, first let's talk about the next time you pull. Your actress is right next to the green screen. Bring the woman away and throw in an orange backlight. Second, when you have highly reflective things like boots and the mask of leather clothing on the edges of your green screen with black fabric (Molton or rag fight) so that there is no green extra outside the zone of action of your actress. These green reflections were perfectly visible when the picture was taken, and it is a lot easier to fix in production that is to fix them in post.

    It seems that the shooting bowed down. If this is the case, you also have to move your images in the background so that it looks realistic. The best way to proceed is to make the background images of the 3D decorations, towards the camera, set up a camera with the same angle of view as the camera allows you to photograph your model, then track down the slope and set the track to a 3D null data. Then, you set the point of interest from the camera to a 3D null with an expression and adjust the distance and size of the background layer so that the picture looks right.

    You have to use the basic roto technique that I showed in the short tutorial for roto those boots by hand or you will have to use rotobrush to create the matte. You might get a key closest if you did some color adjustments to the image before applying Keylight. If the rotation by hand here is how you would take care of the reflections on the boots. You just look at the areas where the Green spill causes the transparency then Desaturate you the green with the selective color.

    If you want to try rotobrush then you rotobrush boots and use the roto as matte for the original film, then apply Keylight to the background layer and selective colorization in the top layer to remove the green. Your Setup program should look like this. You will need to read up on how to use Rotobrush if you want to try to go this way.

    This combination of Rotobrush and Keylight uses rotobrush to cut areas with hard edges and is very good at that, then use Keylight to remove the green background of the skin and hair. The last step for a composite full is set up a few slight wrap around your actress and match the movement of the camera.

    To learn how to use rotobrush just type in the search help field in the upper right corner of the AE and cross training material. Inquire on film the same light. If you need to learn about tracking, the same thing again. Use search help and type in the Tracker.

    If that was my project and that the shot was a long minute I can allow approximately 6-8 hours, given the original film. If the images were shot property that could be reduced to 30 minutes.

  • Transparency flattening preset fails to vector fonts

    I have been using a flattening of transparencies for a long period which is on all vector fonts. I don't know when it started happening, but now it fails to vector fonts - even in a document that contains a single text box and nothing else. Is this a bug?

  • ESXi upgrade. (stupid question I think)

    Then ESXi supports two processors or machines; It proved to be very reliable.

    ESXi can be upgraded to support more than two machines?

    The offerings are a lot of confused; ESX Infrastructure, Foundation? What is the path?

    I ask because: (pm = physical machine)

    PM_1 produciton SQL (Server retired)

    PM_2 Test SQL (cpu dual-quad and we want to make good use)

    My plan (need work) is to make PM_2 a complete unit of ESX (?).

    Then move the servers produciton and essay on PM_2 as of the virtual computer.

    ESXi can be upgraded to support more than two machines?

    Yes.  ESX also fits grand you need to run virtual machines.  Depends above all on material.  We have IBM 3950.  Each of them is core 16 / 2.93 GB CPU / 63GB of RAM, and we use SAN attached fibre.  just one of these IBM servers running 77 VM.  I pushed him to 100, and he has not yet shown signs of degradation in performance.  It is what you need and configure for your hardware.

    The offerings are a lot of confused; ESX Infrastructure, Foundation? What is the path?

    The Foundation is limited to 3 machines managed by a single virtual centre.  If you still think you have more than 3 machines, do not buy buy Foundation standard or Enterprise.  Now if you think you need to move the machines or high availability, then buy the company, if it is not the Standard version will be fine.  Talk to your sales representative, he will explain these options in more detail.

    Then move the servers produciton and essay on PM_2 as of the virtual computer.

    This seems plausible.  Not too much VM is right, and that seems fine.

    BTW, there are NO stupid questions, only hypotheses are stupid.   Ask and you will receive a response.

  • Transparency flattening / rasterization of large print files

    Hello world

    I was wondering if anyone out there with experience dealing with large prints (72 in. x 36 in. @350 dpi) has any advice in the following situations:

    I was hired to make a print in large print for a gallery (12 ft by 3 ft). They want me to use a favorite printer that requires a resolution of the final output of 300-350dpi. My source file is an Illustrator file (CS5.1) containing of MANY overlapping polygons, transparencies (100)). The printer had me said first that there was a weather provide the Illustrator file as two parts, 6 ' x 3 ' with as well as vectors. They just go for me and rejected my files, request now full resolution TIFF. I tried flattening transparency and the output to TIFF, but either Illustrator crashes indefinitely to halfway in the process or errors, telling me that the combination of the size and the resolution is impossible to exit. I even tried to import into photoshop as a smart object, etc. It seems I am running out of memory/cpu power/Illustrator skills even if I tried this on a mac pro with 12 GB quad cpu memory. For the moment, I'm screwed. I have no idea how rasterize my art in vector at an acceptable resolution anywhere near. The image is very dense and full of subtle changes in color and density due to transparency. I need to preserve as much as possible. I'd be happy for any guidance in this area. Thank you!

    Save the file as an .ai with PDF compatibility on. Then open in Photoshop and pixelation.

  • Transparent button Style question

    I created a new empty project 9 Captivate. I used the theme of white.

  • Simple icon, transparent route difficult question

    Hey everybody,
    Need a bit of help here. Ive created this very simple icon:

    Screen Shot 01.jpg

    The plane is a single object, just like the track. The two objects are grouped. There are a total of 9 transparent traces that I see. The landing legs have 8 more than the 1 band in the middle of the track. The problem I have only appears when I reduce the image down to an inch round. (The image is enlarged for better view)

    Screen Shot 02.jpg

    I guess that's the transparent traces that happen, but can't be 100% sure. I am completely baffled because Ive never experienced this with any other compound path and it is a group extremely simple of objects!

    My work around was to export as a png hiring and then place it in illustrator and trace as a sillohette. He solved the problem, but it does not any sense because when he was plotting it's always the same transparent tracks. Right?

    Any input would be most appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Check if the objects are defined to match the pixel grid. If so, turn it off.

  • OAM 10 g - Simple question (I think)

    Hey guys, I want to run something by you to see if I'm missing something essential. What I'm trying to do is quite simple...

    I want 2 forms of connection for the same Web page, the host name is used.

    Internal.mydomain.com
    External.mydomain.com

    These two point to an IIS box, which is configured to receive on *: 80... no defined hostheaders.

    Originally, there was only the internal.mydomain.com and it's all of the parameters and working. To access the http://internal.mydomain.com/secret shows my 'internal Custom Form.

    I would like to add the possibility so that when http://external.mydomain.com/secret is indication, it brings to the top of my "Custom Form' external.

    I've implemented a new identifier of host with external.mydomain.com
    I copied the field to "My political" - external and assign the new identifier of the host and specified for use on LDAP basis (as a quick test, will create the actual form later)

    When I go to external.mydomain.com/secret, I get the "internal" custom form

    When I perform a Test of access within the oam to the same URL, it shows the correct ("My Policy - external") policy area the assessment result, aka.

    This tells me that OAM is configured correctly, but the WebGate is not correctly reports the host header is used.

    Any ideas? I'd appreciate a lot any idea or suggestion.

    Thank you very much

    Hi Alex,

    What is the behavior if you have preferred setting HTTP Host blank for the WebGate relevant AccessGate on-screen in the Console of the system access? (Depending on your version of OAM, you may need to change a configuration file to enable this, see 10.1.4.3 Guide of customization for the parameter of AllowEmptyPreferredHost.) After changing, you might have to restart the web server.

    Kind regards

  • Interlace/Pulldown question (I think)

    I have PR 422 images digitized from BetaSP 29.97 tape.  It has been brought in an Avid to 1:mxf, then the output of sequences in ProRes Quicktime.  Is someone can you please tell me what the heck the colorist or I was wrong?  Settings for QuickTime 720 x 486, lower field first.  (and strangely when fell into a FCP timeline, the dominant field was zero, wtf?)

    The vhs with timecode screw has similar but not nearly as sensitive issues.  So I doubt I'd be able to re-intrepret in AE, correct?

    Is this an incorrect conversion?  I guess I'll need to re - transfer?  Or is it a kind of interlacing issue?  Just about every 4 frames sequence has this problem to varying degrees, according to the motion, and objects in the framework.

    Thank you for your experienced eyes!  Rick Gerard?  Dave LaRonde?

    I wonder however why you recommend only do this on a shot by shot basis?

    It's because you don't know exactly HOW the film was transferred on tape.  It could be that there are a couple of shots on a roll of film, and then a few more shots on another, etc.  The logical way of transfer with a tape recorder and a projector (or scan) would be a series of changes come together on the tape.  This would result in a danger very real that the menu template dropdown would emerge among sets of shots.

    If, however, you knew full well that each shot was on a continuous roll of film and was transferred at the same time, you can confidently remove pulldown in the clip of big set of many shots.  But I bet that nobody will swear him on a stack of bibles, so better safe than sorry.

  • Very basic question I think?

    Hi im very new to flash, but I'm looking to learn more about it, I tried to use the pre-built Flash components and I was just wondering where and how you can retrieve the values in the boxes checked

    I know how to check using the 1 box

    If (instancename.value = true) {}
    trace ("box has been checked");
    }

    but I want to run through a series of 5 boxes and retrieve all the labels in a first time, I can probably work on verification, if they are checked, but all the I get filament is not set which, I guess, no value.

    This is the code I used to try to recover all the labels of each box at the press of a button

    We (Release)
    {
    trace ("clicked");
    var i = 1;

    While (I < 5) {}
    trace ("Running while");
    i ++ ;
    trace ( check box. Label);
    trace (i);


    }

    }

    It would be more appreciated if someone could point me in the right direction for tutorials very basic on the flash components that I could find only the macromedia livedocs that I have not found a lot of help as his technique to speak which I am not yet familiar with...
