Question

Document Raster Effects Settings? I can't find it!

Hello,

I am using Illustrator CS5. I am looking for the document raster effects settings. I think they are at 72DPI because my drop shadows on my images are pixelated when I print out my design.

I want to change the document raster effect to 300DPI.

I googled it and in CS4 it was under the effects menu but in CS5 I don't have the effects menu anymore. It is under Objects->Effects but I don't see the document raster effects settings anywhere.

Any ideas?

thanks,

PedroAlberto

    You might need to reinstall the app. I've never heard of any instance where the Effects menu is located under the Object menu.

    The Filter menu was moved to the Object menu, but the Effect menu should still be at the top of the screen and not under any other menu item.... and it does contain the Document Raster Effects Settings.

    Hello,

    Yeah, I thought that was strange too. Will re-install.

    thanks,

    Before you reinstall make certain you trash these files

    On the Mac


    User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe illustrator CS5 Settings and trash the settings folder, the whole folder not just the contents of the folder..

    User/username/Library/Preferences/ com.adobe.illustrator.plist

    And make certain you use the the Adobe Uninstaller in the Utilities Folder in the Applaications folder

    On the PC I am not certin where the above files reside nd you use the systems installer to uninstall.
