Unexplained white lines in formats EPS and HAVE

Thanks for taking a peek. I'm at my limit with this one.

I have a book in InDesign CS4 with overall imported EPS pictures. The EPS files created with Illustrator CS1/CS4 (we have updated recently - ago, big jump!). When you test the exported PDF book we noticed that several images have what seems to be random white lines framing the areas of the work. I searched through the knowledge base on the seam, sought in Illustrator/InDesign forums on 'white lines' and various other key words, but so far I have not found a honest solution. I tested these corrections starting with settings display "Line Art/Smooth Image" PDF, InDesign "Aplatissements predefined transparencies Transarency" smooth, all the way back to the work of the Illustrator files.

I must emphasize that these lines are only visible on the screen after a series of expansions in Acrobat or InDesign. The lines are not visible on the screen in the EPS formats / HAVE, however, when you print directly from Illustrator, they find themselves on the hard copy. There is at least a starting point?

In one of the most obvious examples, we noticed framing around objects with drop shadow effects. The background of this image is a gradient. The foreground object has a shadow effect. We tested the removal of the shadow effect and the lines disappear. We then reapplied the shadow but removed the gradient of the background. Again, the lines are left. All this is fine I guess, if we need to go through each drawing and eliminate any shadow scope and/or degraded (rather annoying though and disappointing that some effects may be inevitable to represent a series of illustrations). But honestly, is it normal that these two effects of situations of conflict in this way? The biggest problem is that there are designs with these ghosts lines that have no background gradient shadow or drop. I have no idea where to solve this!

From what I read and what I've seen with tests, there is a problem of transparency, supported by our experiences with shadows - possibly in the original format of EPS designs are created in. ' save under... ". ». I does not solve it. Backup to a flattened. TIFF or even. JPG is really not an option.

With the help of shadows with gradients is a no-no? Maybe something in the transition from CS1 to CS4? I'm a clueless fool who just needs to stick with Photoshop? Laughing out loud. I do not know!! Someone please enlighten us on this one. I try to understand these things on my own, but Illustrator is my weaker demand. In any case, all tips are very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

-Christmas.

I use Illustrator CS3 and had the same problem.  I finally got the white lines if go by saving my file .ai, flattening of the work (go to the layers palette, the pitcher, then "Flatten the work"), print to a .pdf file (or I guess you could save as), and then close the .ai file without saving (because I didn't want the flattened .ai file).

It worked!  Woohoo!

It is a good idea and makes me think that my reference to flattening is misleading. Flattening in the layers panel work can definitely have an effect on transparency, but this isn't a flattening of transparency in the strict sense of the term. Julie mentions printing in PDF format, or save as PDF. These are two totally different things. In the case of printing to PDF, the output is post script, which does not support transparency. The PostScript is converted to PDF. So it could be transparency in the document of the monolayer, but transparency has been flattened at the printing stage.

This method can be effective, but only if the PDF output does not need to be placed in another application. In any case, Julie was correct does not back up after flattening the layers.

I spent hours trying to solve this problem.  I did as stated in this thread, and passed under the eps to AI file, but would really like to know why this is happening with this particular eps file.

Maybe we can find a solution to this problem.

Kristeejo you should display your illustrations drawn mode and see if you have pictures divided into sections. If Yes, then this is perhaps the result of some with object: flatten transparency. It's very embarrassing when someone does this. Sometimes, you can select the pieces of the image (see the links Panel, they are all integrated links), then use object: pixelation. Do not do this to vector elements. After rasterization is completed, the pieces become an entire image, and I hope that the seam lines will disappear.

The other possibility - and the solution because it is much easier - is that someone has placed a Photoshop EPS, and it is interacting with transparency. You can re - register the Photoshop EPS as a native file to Photoshop and re - link. I've seen it eliminate the thin white lines in output.

    I think you ve you have a problem with the hardware in my eyes, there might be something wrong with the GPU chip.
    The white lines on the screen could be related to a faulty graphics card and get the BSOD error due to a hardware malfunction or software serious questions

    I m sure that the recovery CD does not contain software problems and therefore only the fault of hardware could be the reason for the lines on the screen and the BSOD.

    In my opinion, you should contact the ASP in your country for assistance if all goes well you guarantee is valid.

  • White lines *. SVG-images

    When I'm placing a *. SVG-image of Muse, I get a thick white line in the background and a thin white line to the right in the picture. These lines kan not deleted in Muse. Do I did wrong?

    For now the only solution is to this choice:

    1. register for the Adobe beta program, sign a NDA and then see if the beta version of Muse corrects problems of SVG.

    2. wait for the next version of official point of Muse.

    Muse 2014.2 was released early October. I wonder when "2014.3" will be released. Previously a lot of one-off releases came every 2 or maybe 3 months. We are now four months and counting between one-off releases. It's kind of a long waiting period to get a pretty obvious bug been fixed, for example the problem as outlined white in SVG images. I thought that the Adobe engineers have solved that one pretty quickly.

    Divert:

    I can only imagine what is happening behind the scenes at Adobe. They may be doing some fairly big changes, fundamental to Muse to make the application much better. I hope that Adobe engineers are not be distracted by quarter Chair nonsense coming from stock investors. Creative Cloud subscription numbers are up, but Adobe margins have been declining, in part because of a lot of research & development (good for us users). So many stock buyers tell Adobe what they need to do, and some suggest they put much more of their resources in support of sales and marketing tools. Adobe has announced a program to buy back $2 billion in January (after previous finishing). Investors are very excited. They complain on the blow to income during the transition from the software perpetual license in a single subscription model box. Do not include creative professional investors will literally be forced on cloud creative as they get rid of older and slower computers. They don't seem as common Adobe growth in some other niches, like the video. Premiere Pro has been surging in popularity at the expense of Final Cut and Avid. It reminds me how InDesign rises to dominate Quark Xpress.

    I don't like having to pay a subscription for Adobe applications, but for my work, I'm stuck with it. Adobe is not enough credible competition to change this. And competitors of Adobe are trying to jump on the subscription model too.

  • White lines fixed with optimization of the art - is - it possible to copy with this setting?

    I have seen discussions on the white lines, you get on the edges of the objects due to anti-aliasing in Illustrator, and I found that when exporting, you can remove them by setting 'optimized art' in one of the options there.

    For those who do not know the issue of the white line:

    Sometimes, when the Illustrator blend the pixels around an object, it puts a thin white line around it that always appears 1 thick px any zoom level.

    Not really there and when it printed disappears. Trouble is, even when you export the document, or a copy of objects in other software for the use of the screen, it's still there.

    Many people think that white line is a tiny space, but it is not.

    People also tend to tell you that it is because you have two objects butted against another. Also, this is not true. The white line persists even on overlapping forms.

    People will also say it is when two shapes on top of the other follow the same path. Yet once, is not true. White lines appear even when you have only 1 object following a particular path.

    My problem is that I rarely export an entire document at once, but tend to copy items to it in Photoshop. When I do, the white lines traveling with her and becomes permanent. Even on a .jpg, .png, or .gif image file, the lines are still visible.

    What I want to know is, is it possible to copy objects in Illustrator using optimization of art?

    Or y at - it another way to copy them without taking these white lines with me?

    I know that I can get rid of them by turning anti-aliasing off the coast, but everything really looks pixelated, so it is not much better.

    In addition, anti-aliasing is not actually solve the problem, it just hides it. Even with the power off, when I copy the affected objects to Photoshop, the white lines reappear in Photoshop.

    And please don't bother the answer for me, explaining what the white lines are, or how to get rid of them or how to lose them in the export. I know all that.

    Notes:

    I'm under Illustrator CS6

    And Photoshop CS6

    Helmer,

    I wonder if this may be useful, or is simply ridiculous. I apologize if this last.

    If you can use a Raster object to copy into Photoshop, you try to use the object > rasterize and set Anti-Aliasing for Art Optimized, can see.

  • White line under Images

    Hello

    I create a mobile site using Dreamweaver, and for some reason, any image that I put my document has a white line underneath.  I already have my IMG tag together at the border: 0 so I have no idea why this is happening.  I even tried to remove all css and placing just a picture of monkey in a strict html file and it still happens with any image I have placed in any directory.  I also tested in several browsers.  I've never had this before, and it seems very strange.

    An example can be seen here: http://mobile.sageinsuranceservicing.com/index2.html .  The border appears under the main image on the page and appears to be about 2 or 3 pixels. 

    Thank you very much for your suggestions!

    It's probably the descender of text browser by default inline padding for the html5 doctype.

    Add display: block to your css image...

    IMG {}

    Display: block;

    border: 0;

    }

    I paint in adobe flash cs5 and each time when I draw something and export it, it has these really annoying white lines on the left and right sides.
    I don't know why, because I am perfectly in the white area and even a bit in the box gray so I know for sure that I do not see these white lines, but somehow they keep appearing every time when I export my drawing.
    I tried everything: change the pixelsize, change the side of the white box but it still continue to occur...

    Hope you can help me.

  • How to remove the unwanted parts of drawing black and white line

    I scanned in a flower art simple black and white lines.  I would like to remove some of the petals in Photoshop.  How can I do?

    Thank youFlower003.jpg

    I would like to remove the petals from the background.

    1 method: with the select magic wand the white bg, select-> invert the selection and create a layer mask.

    The layer mask is a monochrome picture, transparent black, white is opaque and anything in between is more or less transparent.

    You can now select the layer mask, use the brush and black paint, where you want to have something white, removed where you want to have something added. It is non-destructive and works very well on your photo.

    You can use shift click to 'draw' the small lines to attach to the top. According to the clarification, it will take more or less time. As I said are non-destructive.

    Second method: you use the pen to draw the lines around your flower vectors. With little exercise, you'll very quickly and you can always adjust the curvature of your curve, by pulling on the handles of the curve. Here you can see how it works: drawing with the pen in Photoshop tools .

    When done with the pen tool, you can add the vector line as a vector mask. You can even refine your mask after finishing. I suggest, since a mask of course work at a refined mask.

    The flower should not be on a layer, a background layer. Basemap layers have no transparency. The two methods are non-destructive, so you can return to the original image or parts of it, whenever you want.

  • Layers with black and white line drawings.

    I am trying to create a black and white line drawing illustration. I did my drawings on paper and scanned them. Can I PLACE each part of the drawing in its own layer to photoshop. How can I better get the top layer to have a transparent background, so that it is 'visible' to the other layer?

    (For example, I have a little girl brushing his teeth.) I also drew the washbasin and the mirror and wardrobe that will see behind the girl. When I put them in two of these pictures I've drawn and scanned, the white background of the girl covers the background picture of the sink and the Cabinet. I tried to use the magnetic tool to trace around the girl and then I copy and paste on another layer and get rid of the original opaque. My lines out as clean and clear as I'd like. Is there a better way?)

    Another question: on one of my layers, I want to adjust the size, cut it down and possibly do a spin. How this transformation of size on a single layer and not the entire file?

    Hi redpenpenny,

    C.pfaffenbichler said, "multiply" blending mode is your friend here.

    To illustrate this, take a look at this composite that I made using my Wacom tablet:

    1. I drew two coats, one with a face and a with a bubble, they are located on separate layers and both have a white background (like your digital images)

    Fig 1:

    Fig 2:

    2. then, I selected the top layer (which is being the bubble) and changed the blend mode 'multiply '.

    Fig. 3:

    3. the white background fades and the two designs are now visible.

    Fig. 4:

    4. just for fun, I placed a texture of paper, I found online on the bottom layer and put my face "Multiply" layer that actually seems as if it was drawn on paper.
