There's a huge problem with art that's identical in Illustrator displaying and printing differently depending on how the layers are placed. I've attached example PNGs. Both images were traced from line art using Image Trace in Illustrator. The first has the 'fill' color on a layer above the image outline, as you can see in 'Layers'. The second has the 'fill' color BEHIND the image outline, as you can also see in 'Layers'. You'll notice that the dark linework 'bleeds' thickly when the 'fill' is behind the outline. And when the fill is above, the linework is thin –the same is true if the fill is on the same layer as the linework. Both display identically, of course, in 'Preview'. This is causing all kinds of problems to my clients, who, as in this case, wanted the linework to be 'empty' so they could place it over their own color choices. The linework thickens even more the more the image is reduced. Color fill on top Color fill below

Hi Tom, You have a great range of work, from cute characters to 3D cityscapes, all very nicely done. Cheers! I'm not familiar with Teacher Training, but I assume it's an Adobe thing? I'd email you directly but your runninghead webpage doesn't seem to list an email address, and I'm not sure correspondences are OK when they go off topic in a forum like this.

Hello Runninghead, I've hardly ever done single line conversions but line breakups usually happen because the original line isn't dark or thick enough, though your originals look like the line is 100% black and all the same thickness. And thank you for the compliment –I don't have any tutorials or such online, sorry, though I do teach "Introduction to Computer Art" at a couple of local colleges. But looking at your website, I could use some advice from you –it looks great. I'm especially impressed by your "Atlantis" scene. Best, KEN On Thu, Mar 16, 2017 at 4:35 AM, runninghead_design <

Thank you for clearing it up that it was an Adobe problem in general and not specifically a CS6 problem. For people who are looking for Autotrace that works with fine line images like Adobe's Autotrace USED to work before CS6, besides Canvas Draw's excellent Autotrace, there's also a $5 program available through the Apple Store called Image Vectorizer that works excellently with fine B&W line drawings. The program works on System 10.8 or later Image Vectorizer - bitmap to vector graphic conversion it won't do layers or multiple colors but it does have all the fine adjustment tools one would want for converting B&W line art (like the kind I've been doing for over 30 years –http://www.penart.com).

Thank you. And I'm sorry to see someone spending their time unpaid doing what Adobe can very well afford to pay someone to do. Meanwhile would someone please explain why CS2 stops working after CS6 is installed, other than through Adobe's own fault? I've done a search and, contrary to Monika's assertion, I've found nothing. Thanks again.

Please explain why I need to reinstall CS2. Also please explain why people should have to use CS2 to get the same quality of autotrace results that Illustrator used to give.

Of course it's not nonsense, it's exactly what's happening. And it's happening on a computer that uses 10.6.8, which, as you say, supports CS2. Here's what I get if I try to start CS2 even after I've "deactivated" CS6.

Most annoying of all to me is that Adobe won't let me run CS2 now that I have CS6, so I can't use the Adobe Illustrator autotrace tool that I paid for years ago. Anyone know a work-around?

Yeah, I've been using Illustrator since 1995, to convert my finely-drawn line art to vectors. But CS6 won't do it, and Adobe has made it clear enough that it doesn't care. Fortunately, ADC has come out with a new version of Canvas for Mac, Canvas Draw, which has a great auto trace tool that works like Adobe's used to. canvasgfx.com Highly recommended!
