To avoid having to create that CutContour Spot everytime you need it, the easiest way is to fill a rectangle with it and drag it to a CC Library. Whenyou need it in a document, drag it from the CC library to your document. You don't need to place the object, hitting Escape is enough to add the color to the swatches and delete the object.

Cmd E is only to switch between previews. As your problem is occurring when using copy/paste using the keyboard, there may be some other app or utility interfering with copy/paste. Can you check if that also happens when only Illustrator is running?

Does switching betweeb CPU and GPU preview make a difference? Cmd E

Hi Georgie, I cannot do much at the moment, but I have contacted Adobe Staff.

Ton Frederiks · ‎Jul 05, 2025

I use it, but it is not very well documented. At least I could not find it in What's New

Ton Frederiks · ‎Jul 05, 2025

Kurt, it has been there for a couple of updates and this is in the Mac version 29.6.1 You need to have the UI Brightness set to Medium Dark for it to appear. The slider thing is the most visible, it also brightens boxes around areas where you can change a size, unit or percentage. As far as I am concerned it could have become the default.

Ton Frederiks · ‎Jul 05, 2025

Good to hear that helped.

Ton Frederiks · ‎Jul 05, 2025

Maybe try this; Don't check this box (as I see in your screendumps) But use the 3 dots and click Download:

Because the brush definition is based on a cmyk document, the 100% black will be converted to an RGB black in RGB documents. Because the darkest print black is lighter than the darkest RGB black, the rsult is lighter. Change the definition of the brush: Drag the brush out of the brushes panel. Select the entire brush object and choose Edit > Edit Colors > Convert to Grayscale (a 100% grayscale black will be the darkest black in CMYK as well as RGB documents). Drag the brush back into the Brushes panel. When you hold down the Alt/Option key and drag it on top of the existing brush it will replace the brush. Click OK in the dialog.

Can you share an example document? Just save as pdf with the default settings and attach it to a post here.

Ton Frederiks · ‎Jul 04, 2025

What plug-ins do you have installed? What is that next to the Graph tool?

Ton Frederiks · ‎Jul 04, 2025

Can you zoom out and show your whole document with the layers panel expanded?

There is a setting in Preferences to increase the contrast. It will look like this:

Ton Frederiks · ‎Jul 04, 2025

Click the swatch that you want to keep. Cmd (Mac) or Ctrl (Win) the color swatch you want to get rid of and be replaced by the first clicked color. Select Merge Swatches from the Swatches panel menu.

@vpck I remember to have seen this reported. It only happens in the Appearance panel, but still works in the Window > Transparency panel. You may want to report it here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/

Marcel, it looks very much like this: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/49703918-images-disappearing-after-drag-and-drop-on-mac

Best to talk to your printer. CMYK will most of the time be less vibrant than RGB. But maybe your printer has a printing process that can capture more colors than the default conversion to CMYK. If you convert your colors using the same profiles in Adobe applications, the result will be same.

Ton Frederiks · ‎Jul 03, 2025

You cannot compare those 2 screens. The top one does not have Preview checked, so you don't see the tracing result. The bottom one has totally different trace settings.

Image trace? https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/image-trace.html

Richard, there are a couple of differents problem mentioned in this post. It looks like the shifting opacity masks is fixed, but obviously your opacity problem is not. To attach an Illustrator file here you need to save it as PDF or rename the .ai extension to .pdf

Ton Frederiks · ‎Jul 03, 2025

That is not the file you first showed, try this one: SLIP DRESS_changes_LINDA_grade changes [Converted].aic or go to https://www.adobe.com/files/ select the 3 dots on the file and choose download. Then Open that file, save it as PDF on your desktop and attach it

Ton Frederiks · ‎Jul 02, 2025

Hi Georgie, I am afraid we don't make progress this way. Can we start from the beginning? You showed a file: SLIP DRESS_changes_LINDA_grade changes [Converted].aic Can you Open that file and save it as PDF on your desktop? Make sure that in the Save Adobe PDF options the "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" is checked. React to this forum post and use the attach option as shown here to share the pdf.

Ton Frederiks · ‎Jul 02, 2025

That is the way Live Paint works. When expanded you will get at least double the points (for the fill group and the stroke group) and it will add points at intersections. But it only does that after expanding, when it is still a Live Paint group it will use the existing points. So as long as you want to edit, don't expand.

Ton Frederiks · ‎Jul 02, 2025

Can you try it in 29.6.1?

Ton Frederiks · ‎Jul 02, 2025

Don't use beta software for production.
