Hey all, I've noticed that when I'm drawing round paths, if I zoom in as far as I can go, the smooth lines become cornered and that's rather annoying to see. I set the stroke to round corners and and caps and it's something I've never noticed before, which I think is weird. I've tried to use the CPU view, and that solves the problem, but it slows down drastically the overall performance, like zooming in and out and moving around the working area, it does get reaalllllly slow, and I've never had to work like this. Is it possible that it may have always been like this and I've only just noticed or maybe there's some weird setting that has changed or something is happening to my MacBook? Tips on how to solve this? These are my specs and below is a picture of how the paths look when I zoom in. Thanks in advance.

That is beyond annoying,it makes the workflow slow and frustrating, are the developers aware of this? Why don't they do something about it?

Hi all, I've noticed that using the gestures on the touchpad on my HP laptop, the functions zoom in/out and pan (horizontally) are not working on both InDesign and Illustrator. The same actions work on Photoshop, and I know you can zoom in and out using Ctrl+ or Ctrl- but that only zooms towards the centre of the image, and if I want to navigate the image when it's zoomed in I have to select the Hand tool, click and drag on the image which makes it really long and frustrating when I'm working, because say if I'm using the pen tool, I would have to stop using it to move across the artwork. I've read numerous threads and looked for video tutorials, but seems like the quickest way to zoom in and out is Ctrl+/-. Is there anything I'm missing? why am I able to use these actions on Photoshop? Also, as far as I remember, the same functions work just fine on Mac which makes me wanna consider buying one, but I really hope there's a way to overcome this on Windows. Thanks.

Problem solved, apparently the shapes had to be turned into a compound path in order to make a clipping mask out of them. Object->compound path->Make thanks anyway.

Hi all, I'm trying to make a clipping mask out of four polygon shapes, slightly apart from each other that I want to use to cut a picture underneath. The problem is, if the four shapes are un-grouped the clipping mask will only be made using the shape that's at the top of the stack in the layer panel. If the four shapes are grouped, the clipping mask will just make everything blank, the photo disappears and it's not cut into any of the four shapes. What am I missing? thanks

I literally use it only for uni at the moment, for laying out printable portfolios.

how come copy and paste transparency works with InDesign on a Mac? is that just a Windows fault? i really think saving an image every time I cut it out from its background is really time consuming adding that I don't really need the image file after its been placed on InDesign.

is creating a clipping path good practice to get rid of background?

That's what I want to avoid really. When I'm working with multiple images, it's quite time consuming having to save the images one by one, look for their location on the hard drive and place them every time I want to add a cut-out image. I have managed to use the clipping path->detect edges function to overcome, but I'm worried this might make the document too heavy to work with if I apply that to every image. However all this doesn't happen on InDesign for Mac 😕

Hi all, I've recently started to learn InDesign and I was surprised to realize that when I'm simultaneously editing images in PS and pasting them to ID, it doesn't paste transparency, it always adds a white background in the box frame of the object. the problem can be solved if I go onto clipping path and select Detect edges or if once I cut out the object on PS I save it as a .tiff file. This only happens on a Windows computer, because I've used InDesign on a Mac and when I cut the background out of an image in Photoshop, and paste it onto InDesign, the transparency is automatically detected, without me having to create a clipping path. Is there a way to make it automatic for InDesign to detect transparency when copying and pasting objects from Photoshop? thanks.
