Try to paste from Illustrator as a smart object

Is there a trick to paste an image vector pixelated from Illustrator into Photoshop as a smart object and not introduce a bunch of smoothing that wasn't in the original file? My images are perfectly aligned with the pixel grid in Illustrator, and displays correctly rasterizes preview.

This page is useful to deal with vector shape layers, but the techniques he talks do not work for dynamic objects. Strangely, he says that it is not a problem with smart objects, but I do.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about: a simple image of pixel of 13 x 13 in turn shit in Photoshop Illustrator when pasted as a smart object (I know not a picture that is as simple as it could be pasted as a shape layer, but the I work with real images are much more complex and cannot be pasted in the form of simple shape layers).

I'm using Photoshop CS4.

I'm not sure. It seems to be expecting behavior that should not. So I don't know what he thinks is happening, or what part it misunderstands.  I can document how the mathematics and applications work, but not all average people incorrectly assume that they work.

Nod to the pixel grid option vector will manage the outline of the shape-, but maybe inside aliasees according to the position and size of the shape as well as the definition of the original form of vector.  Most of the time, vectors do not align with the pixel grid, but we can force the outside edges to align. Inside edges usually cannot be aligned with limits of pixels without deforming the wrong form (in the case where it is possible at all).

  • pasted from illustrator vector dynamic object cannot be changed more

    Guys, I don't know if it s me be stupid or what.

    I have countless photoshop files that have vector smart objects. I used to double-click them, edit them in illustrator, save in illustrator, then back to photoshop with the updated file.

    Now I have an icon of clouds, and when I double click I get this crazy message:

    This point is not directly editable in Photoshop, but it can be placed in a document. To move the item, drag it into an open document.

    Well, I don't want to edit in Photoshop. I want to edit in Illustrator as it s always summer.

    I tried this new library thing, but I get the same message.

    I went through all the options when I right click on the smart object I just pasted in photoshop, illustrator, but nothing.

    Help, please

    (he is my latest version of photoshop, I wish that I can undo the last update)

    You don't have to use the library if it messes up your workflow. If you want to change a bound and smart object which has been placed through the library, you can right-click on the layer in the layer panel and change from a link if so incorporated

  • InDesign crashes suddenly then copy and paste from Illustrator...

    This is a really recent thing that never happened before, it's bugging the hell out of me, and google offers no solution so far...

    I am running Mac OS X Snow Leopard and InDesign + Illustrator CS2

    My problem is I'm trying to paste a code bar created in a program called "Easy Creator barcode" in an Illustrator document and vectoriser vectorize then the bar code, copy it and paste it into an InDesign document.

    Everything works fine until I have switch from windows from Illustrator to InDesign document - when I try to paste the code barcode described in the InDesign document, it breaks down just InDesign.

    The strange thing is, the two first bar code copied and pasted with zero problems. When I tried to paste the following, the crash has begun.

    I checked my preferences and checked the permissions of drive, but in vain.

    I don't know what is happening, but to do a quick sort as I have a date deadline for a catalog of this week!

    If anyone has any ideas, tips or solutions they would be greatly appreciated!

    See you soon

    If you have already converted to outlines, there are no police who could be replaced or fail to be integrated in the placed art, so a user error cannot cause a problem that would not also be possible with a pasted graphic.

    But if you stick to keep your job, keep your job. Try to make a copy of the file, then export to .inx and open and save as a new .indd. See if that fixes Watt is screing things up.

  • Copy and paste from illustrator to photoshop

    Hello.

    You used to be able to slect tricks in photoshop and copy illustrator, create new from the Clipboard and create a document at a resolution that never, over the largest wreck was the image.

    Now when you do this the image are set to 72 dpi by default, and nothing do you solves this problem for copy/paste is ultra low resolution.

    Is there any solution for this?

    I found a solution.  In each version before the CC versions, you can copy an Illustration of Illustrator (Ctrl + C) for Photoshop (Ctrl + N, Ctrl-V, input) with a nearly lossless image quality.  Since CC came, it no longer works.  The quality of the image in Photoshop is really unacceptable.

    Today, I figured out how to get things to normal.  There are just a few simple steps.

    In Photoshop CC (and this step may or may not be necessary for you) Edit > Preferences > units & rulers, change new Document Preset resolutions, screen resolution of 300 Pixels/inch.  This makes the new default value of documents at 300 dpi.

    Then (and I think that the most important) when you create your new file to paste your Illustrator file in, (for example, Ctrl + N), change the Type of Document in the drop-down list of the Clipboard to the default size of Photoshop.  In my case, who reads the 7 x 5 inches and 300 dpi.  You need to establish your new size of smaller or larger image for all to adapt, but, you will get a really strong and clear image quality when you paste your Illustrator file into the new document.

    Hope that helps.

  • Image editing in InDesign (copy and paste from Illustrator)

    Hello

    I have a scenario and I hope someone can clarify:

    I'm working on a Mac using Adobe Illustrator & Indesign CS4. Whenever I have copy and paste or drag an image in illustrator into Indesign, this particular chart is not editable in InDesign, and it's ok.  I want it like this to the clerk/typists to use in their InDesign files.

    However, on a PC with Vista, when the chart is copied and pasted/dragged from illustrator into indesign, this graph becomes editable using the direct Selection tool in InDesign.  I want to know is if there is a way to disable this option on the PC version as on mac?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Perhaps the difference lies with the way Illustrator fits images.

    Here, with my trusty CS3 in 'preferences files and Clipboard' (translated from the french), I have the choice of exporting the Clipboard in the format PDF and AICB format.

    If I understand your message, I guess Mac export as a PDF and Vista exports AICB format.

    An audit of preferences would help with this,

    Good luck.

  • Vector Illustrator to Photoshop Smart objects is more editable...?

    I've just updated my CC and experiencing some weird behaviors between Illustrator and Photoshop. I always start in Illustrator to make my designs (logos, etc. for the vector art) and then build in Photoshop for brochures and other media. I always copied and pasted as smart objects (from Illustrator into Photoshop) and production wise, this is a quick easy workflow - I can go back and change my smart objects by clicking twice if necessary changes.

    However, after update CC two days ago, I feel something I've never seen. When I paste the graphic Illustrator (such as a smart object) I can no longer double-click the layer to edit in Illustrator - I am panic and need help! What they have done or what has changed? It's ruining my workflow and I would really appreciate the help. The alert script error I get when I double click on the vector smart object is "this element is not directly editable in photoshop, but it can be placed in a document. To move the item, drag it into an open document. "Why I'm doing this and why they would change?

    Help, please

    The interest to place the vector in Photoshop is not hunting for the dynamic object - it is much too long and then go back to Illustrator. It is a step in the wrong direction, and I can't believe that others are not upset. I would not have updated if I had known this - now my production is at a standstill immensely. Is there a way to express my concerns?

    Your first message is at odds with your last. You said in your first post that you double-click to edit a vector pasted in Photoshop into Illustrator. Then you say you want to go back to Illustrator and "hunt for the object."

    As long as you have the option "add to my current library" unchecked when pasting, it should work as before. Is there something I'm missing here?

  • I'm updating photoshop today and when I drag an object from illustrator to photoshop, the object doesn't turn into a dynamic object why?

    Update photoshop today and when I drag an object from illustrator to photoshop object market not turning into a smart object why?

    OK - think I have this sorted out now.

    When you copy and paste an Illustrator file in Photoshop, you get the dialog box PASTE.

    You can paste as smart object, Pixels, path and shape layer. In the past, you would select depending on what you want (in my case for most Smart Object) and viola - you have your dynamic object. However, in the newly revised version, there is a checkbox in low called "Add to my current library" If this box is checked, it becomes a library file that displays with a 'cloud' icon in the layer. If you uncheck the 'Add to my current library' it won't matter as a regular smart object.

  • Bad color in Photoshop when pasting from Illustrator

    Hey!

    I have what seems to be a problem with the 2014 CC Illustrator edition (tried CS6 as well). The problem also occurs in InDesign.

    The problem is that a color change occurs when I copy something in Photoshop of Illustrator. Color profiles are all synchronized on all Adobe applications and I use sRGB as Coated FOGRA39 as CMYK and RGB. The RGB values are the same, but the colors are different, even if the profiles are synchronized and double and triple checked! No checking is enabled.

    See images for shifts of color that occurs. The same shift occurs also when I save something in illustrator to JPEG for example. This leads me to believe that there is something in Illustrator and Indesign which does not work as expected and that Photoshop is the right.

    More information:

    • Windows 7 x 64 w / Geforce GTX 970
    • A Spyder 4Pro-sized Asus P246 (when I use the default Windows profile that is not happening. I even tried the default profile from ASUS and happens the same thing as with my own profile)
    • Reinstalled two times by the full suite of CC.
    • Tried with a different graphics card and the current calibrated profile - same thing
    • I have 3 monitors and the problem occurs on all three with three different monitor icc profiles. But the change in color is more apparent om the ASUS because it is a range wide screen maybe?
    • In the Panel layer in Photoshop, color picker etc. colors reflect those of Illustrator, but the image itself is a different color. Maybe the Panel layer PS isn't the color management?
    • RGB colors in the screenshots are 0 255 0.

    Would be very grateful if someone could help me in the right direction so that I can enjoy synchronized colors. =)

    Thank you!

    I solved the problem.

    Seems that for some reason any synchronized bridge CC settings don't stick to! So I changed all the settings to North American General Purpose 2, applied and open applications and then get back on my updated prepress 3 Europe and - voila! Now, all the colors are correct between Adobe applications!

    Note for later: always first try the easiest possible solutions...

  • Copy and paste from Illustrator - actual size? (not to scale)

    Hello, I have a question about something that I met several times and can't seem to find an answer to. when I copy something of Illustrator and place it in Photoshop (like a SmartObject), I want to set the actual size, rather than adjust to the size of the PS file. For example, say I have a PS 100x50px file. In Illustrator, I create this file PS elements. I have a component in artificial intelligence that is 100 x 50 with text down. If I copy and paste that in PS, it will not match exactly because the text gives a little extra space above and below and it actually copies as say 100x50.74px and is therefore biased (or scale truly wrong, proportionately) when pasted in the PS file. Of course I can resize manually, but it is inefficient and unreliable. It seems that there should be a preference somewhere where you can choose to paste to adapt or stick to actual size, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Can someone help or is it still possible? (seems like it should be) Does make sense? Thanks in advance!

    Ben

    An excellent question. I remember the time to make a document larger than my Clipboard until I found this wonderful setting.

    Go to preferences > General > uncheck Resize Images in Place.

  • Can I transfer a custom made patterns from Illustrator to Photoshop?

    Hi all

    From there, you can set it as a pattern in Photoshop.
