Hola. Hago ilustraciones utilizando los pinceles de acuarela de Photoshop y las coloreo pieza por pieza en illustrator con el modo multiplicar para que mantenga la transpariencia. Hago el montaje y termino mi diseño en illustratorEs la única manera que conozco para que mis clientes puedan cambiar los colores desde illustratorAlgunos se quejan de que les salen unos cuadros delimitando cada pieza pero no todos. No se como solucionarlo. Pasa cuando hay un fondo de colorHay alguna otra manera de hacerlo? Los pinceles de photoshop son más naturales pero necesito poder cambiar el color desde illustrator.Muchas gracias

Hello, I have mistakenly added files to the user defined swatches on illustrator and I cannot get rid of them. Can anyone help please.

I accidentally uninstalled Adobe Illustrator. How do I get it back without paying?

Adobe support only can parrot what is on the website for minimum requirements. I'm more interested in maximum. Can Illustrator take advantage of a M3 Ultra chip? It seems rather lame. I've got a client with very challenging label designs with overprint, lots of layers and very complicated designs. A M2 Max based Mac was marginally faster than a 2020 iMac 27"In Geekbench 6 scores it's maybe 10% faster than a M4 Max. I would imagine the lazy programmers at Adobe only use single core and not multi-threaded designs. It certainly seems that way. I read recent release notes that the latest Illustrator was up to 10 times faster. Anybody have some experience in performance usage notes? And yes GPU function is enabled. These Macs have 32 GB RAM and no problems with memory pressure as checked with either Activity Monitor or Stats to maintain a review in the menu bar. Files are on SSDs attached to another M1 Max based file server and use 10 Gbps network. It can only be improved with a Thunderbolt

I am creating a document that is going to a printer and they require specific CMYK values for print.  Illustrator continues to edit the CMYK values I input.  I understand that the program is likely adjusting the percentages due to a setting, however, I thought that I had taken the steps to 'lock' my CMYK inputs so Illustrator does not override my CMYK values. Document is set to CMYK, I changed to Color Managment Policies to 'Preserve Numbers (Ignore Linked Profiles) and I have turned ON all Profile Mismatches and Missing Profile settings/warnings.  How can I fix this?  I am obviously missing something. Thank you!  

Okay, this is seriously annoying. In the latest Illustrator on Windows, if you rasterize inside a clipping mask, poof — your objects are gone. Steps (super easy to test):Draw a bunch of objects and group them.Make a shape and apply a clipping mask.Double-click to go inside the group.Select everything and rasterize.And just like that... everything disappears.  If you leave even one object out of the selection, they don’t disappear.But when you select all → gone. If I only rasterize one object, or part of them, it works fine. But if I select all? Illustrator just deletes them. This is super frustrating. Rasterizing inside a clipping mask is something I do all the time, and right now it’s basically unusable. Adobe, please fix this ASAP.I uploaded a video so you can see how bad it is.😂😂😂 I using the latest version of Illustrator, running on a high spec pc.I already tried resetting Illustrator preferences and even reinstalled the program

Okay, so I was making changes to one of my projects when I accidentally pressed the wrong key on my keyboard, and the Direct Selection tool is not showing when an object is selected. Can I have some help, please? 

I've recently moved product area and now design almost exclusively on paper product, I would like to understand if there are any inbuilt settings on either Illustrator or InDesign that would allow me to check colour contrast of my designs before they go to print e.g yellow on a cream base often is hard to see but some levels are ok but I would like to know this before I hit print!  Would really appreciate any tips on how to do this.  I've been using a site called Coolors to determine whether the contrast is high enough between text and background however it would be really great if there was something easier. 

I've had this issue for a number of years with illustrator and still cannot figure out a workaround to get the vibrancy in my logos that I want. My graphics are in rgb, and export with cc profiles, the document is set to rgb, I've tried saving for web, maximum quality and size exports, nothing. Every jpg comes out slightly washed out, but not as bad as pngs. On the other hand, pdfs with profiles embedded have always exported wonderfly for me with full vibrance.I'm not sure there's a way to export jpgs with the color profile I desire. Or at least, I've tried countless times to do it and haven't succeeded. Is there a way through photoshop or acrobat, to open the pdf version of the file, and revert it to a jpg so that those color profiles stay in tact? I haven't been very successful with it but others may have more ideas than I have.I will link a side by side comparison between a jpg saved for web with maximum quality, cc profiles on, at 1200 x 1200 resolution, compared to a simple pdf ex

Hi all Is anyone else having an issue with indesign showing greyed out (faded file name) when you go to place/import an illustrator file in indesign after working it? This is a new issue since updating software to get rid of the ai bleed issue. I have to literally quit illustrator to be able to import ai into indesign. Its almost like its still saving in background when file is closed even though file was saved before closing! I don't work on cloud so all on brand new M4 local files.

Hi Community,My illustrator keeps crashing whenever i use 3d effects or try to open the 3d and materials window. It was working fine, Previously i could make and use all things related to 3d.

Genuinely have no idea what is happening. Everything else is working fine, but there's some weird dimensional thing happening when i direct edit point with this custom brush stroke. I've been using this brush stroke for a while and only started experiencing after the update. 

I was using Adobe Illustrator, and when I enabled GPU acceleration, problems occurred in the gradient effects and transparency options for making blurs. Reinstalling the software did not resolve the issue. Only by disabling GPU acceleration could the display function properly, which has caused me great difficulty and has prevented me from completing my client's tasks. Please assist in fixing this bug.Please help resolve this issue.Translation completed.

  Hi all, I'm having some odd behaviour in Illustrator: typing new text into an existing (formatted) text box ignores the existing formatting. In the screencap above the text box was formatted to Museo Sans 500. Typing the word "Route" and the letter "P" changed the formatting to Museo Sans 100 for those characters. This has happened over multiple machines (a work Mac, and my personal Windows 11 laptop). It has also happened that the font itself has been changed when typing new characters, i.e. it wouldn't just be a different weight of the existing font but an entirely different font (one used elsewhere in the document) when typing new text into an existing text box. The default font for the above screencap was Myriad Pro Regular, so it's not just that it's using the default font for new text. There are no Paragraph or Character Styles present or active when this happens. Does anyone know why this might be happening? Thanks in advance,Jo

Hello,I’m based in Sweden and prefer to run my Adobe apps in English (much easier to follow tutorials and guides), but I want the rest of my system – Windows, Office, etc. – to remain in Swedish.In Creative Cloud, I’ve set my app language to English. However, after each update, my apps revert to Swedish and all settings are lost, including my “Recent files” list, even when I’ve exported my preferences.Support previously assured me this would work without changing my Windows display language, but the only way I’ve found to keep Adobe apps in English with settings intact is to switch Windows entirely to English — which I don’t want to do.Illustrator problem: On top of the language issue, Illustrator crashes multiple times a day, even when working with small or simple files. This is happening regardless of whether GPU acceleration is enabled or disabled.Troubleshooting already tried:Set Creative Cloud language preference to English (several times)Reinstalled Illustrator and Photoshop in E

Earlier this week, I opened an AI file with no performance issues before Illustrator 29.6.1. However, it's now unusable from a performance standpoint; it frequently locks up as I pan around the file, zoom in and out, and attempt to interact with anchor points or perform any action. Here are my specs: MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021), M1 Max, 64 GB RAM, running Sequoia 15.6 File Characteristics:235 artboards (all but two artboards are 32x32 px large)13 layers2.4 MB12636 paths61417 pointsThe assets are all vector-based, and no effects are appliedNo linked filesA single font family and six weights are used for text in the documentIn general, this file is pretty simple. It's a suite of icons, with different style and color variations on different layers, which we hide/un-hide when needed. I never had any problems with it the last time I opened it. I've been trying to troubleshoot this myself, and here's what I've done so far:It is not related to running external displays. The pro

Having issues saving Illustrator files ever since I upgraded to Mac OS 15.6. I select save or use key command but it doesn't save. I have to use Save As. Any fixes for this issue?

This flashing thing happens occasionally (video attached). I can quit and restart and it usually fixes the problem, but it keeps coming back... Using up to date Mac OS system software with the most up to date version of Illustrator. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I'd like to know if its possible to achieve the line on the right hand side without expanding the path or masking like shown. So i'd like to keep the line a live path, but keep the top and bottom flat like shown.

I was using illustrator earlier in the day and saved my file without any issues. I closed illustrator. Now i am trying to open my file to work on it again and it keeps freezing and will not open. I was able to open a smaller file of 4 MB but it won't open my file which is 11 MB in size. I transferred my file to another computer that has illustator CS6 and it was able to open. I restarted my computer multiple times, deleted caches, deleted folder OOBE, uninstalled illustator, uninstalled the creative app and still won't open. I also notice that illustrator is very slow. Even sometimes opening the app without opening a file causes it to freeze. Please help, i have a deadline in 2 days and i just spent 2 hours trying to open a file unsuccessfully.
