Add an option to select transparent background format when exporting or saving as TIFF in the software; currently, exports have a white background.

I’m experiencing a color inconsistency in Adobe Illustrator between GPU Preview and CPU Preview.My color settings are synchronized through Adobe Bridge. I’m working with Adobe RGB (1998) for RGB and U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 for CMYK. True Tone and Night Shift are both turned off on my Mac.When GPU Preview is enabled, the colors in my artwork appear different from how they look in CPU Preview and in the exported PNG or PDF. CPU Preview appears to display the color more accurately, but switching to CPU Preview disables Animated Zoom, which makes it difficult to work efficiently.I would also appreciate guidance on which preview should be trusted as the most accurate representation of the exported artwork.

Saving SVG files in Adobe Illustrator 2026 cause artboard/viewBox to disappear resulting in a cropped image.I have found that I can work around this by doing a Save As and checking the Use Artboards option but future saves drop them and the view box gets lost the next time I try to save. Is this a bug and if intentional behavior, is there some way to force Illustrator to honor my artboards with a setting toggle somewhere?Example SVG file that will lose its viewBox on save:<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 512 512"><circle cx="256" cy="256" r="128"/></svg>Open, slightly move circle, save, viewBox is lost, re-opening shows it truncated.

Allo I study research Sun. Dimensional Light Formation of Sun O. Time and Space. My designs have thousands millions or billions of Lines or Dimensions. I do my study in illustrator. It is too slow for me to design line by line with pen tool for this number of Dimensions. Is it possible to have bigger size canvas from 5779 cm?Is is possible to connect all the paths lines and dimensions fast or faster? In this link you can see my studyhttps://www.instagram.com/reel/Da9ajqnJnTh/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Alex 🌞

I’m working with a batch script that processes and expands plugin items. The problem, is when I have over 100 open, app.executeMenuCommand("expandStyle") throws a popup message “Can’t Ungroup the objects.” I can’t skip this by placing the menu command in a try catch. No matter how much sleep and redraw I add to the document it won’t catch up either.I think I’m experiencing an illustrator memory issue, is there a way to capture this error when it fails so that I can at least get notified in a more descriptive way?

Hi everyone,I'm working on product photography for a sports gear website and want to improve the quality of my product images before publishing them online. My current workflow includes background removal, color correction, shadow adjustments, and resizing for faster page loading.I'm curious to know how other Photoshop users handle product photography. Are there any tools, actions, or export settings that help maintain sharp image quality while keeping file sizes optimized for websites?I'd appreciate any recommendations or workflow tips from those who regularly edit e-commerce product photos.

The proportion feature in the "Transform Panel" is always active (please watch the video). I upgraded from version 2025 to the latest 2026 (30.6) version (iMac M4, MacOsX 15.7.7), I wasn't experiencing this problem before. I'm not sure if an unknown setting has been activated or if it's a bug. Do you have any suggestions?AI2026_Proportion.mov

I'm developing an RF & Antenna Calculators app and need to create high-quality, realistic images of different types of antennas for the app and website. These include Yagi antennas, dipoles, vertical antennas, log-periodic antennas, parabolic dish antennas, and handheld radio antennas.Is Adobe Firefly a good choice for generating accurate technical-looking antenna images? If so: What prompts work best for realistic RF antenna illustrations? Can Firefly generate images with transparent backgrounds? How can I keep a consistent style across multiple antenna types? Are there any tips for creating clean, professional images suitable for a mobile app and website? If anyone has experience creating technical or engineering-related illustrations with Firefly, I'd appreciate your advice or example prompts.Thanks in advance!

Yesterday I updated Illustrator to version 30.7.0.114, and suddenly the error "com.adobe.crashreporter" appeared in C:\Users\User\AppData\LocalLow. What is this, and will it have any impact? 

I thought this would have been a simple thing but maybe I’m being naïve.  I have three shapes that actually make up one logo.  I want to export as an SVG file for another program.  I really need it to be one shape so I want to merge them together before I export. All I seem to be able to do is group them together.  I have tried Pathfinder Unite and Merge but I still have multiple shapes. Is there any way to achieve this?   Should I make it a compound path? Thanks

i am trying to upload my eps files as usual but today i got message says filename.eps couldn't be uploaded because it is not a valid file type.

While building Ai Command Palette I found a great list of executeMenuCommand() values extracted by Shalako Lee from the 2017 SDK. As you might imagine, some of those commands no longer work, and since I'm about to release v0.2.0 of Ai Command Palette I've been testing them all and keeping track of the results in this Google Sheet.   I'm sharing this here because I figured this might be useful to some of you who write scripts for Illustrator. The sheet includes the Original List of commands from Shalako and a working list of the commands that I'm testing in Ai v26.3.1.   Right now I'm about halfway through the original 506 commands from Shalako's list. So far, I've found about 90 that no longer work. I've also updated any verbiage that may have changed in the menu system (since 2017) and updated the ordering to match Ai v26.3.1.   I also, made a simple script to test the commands below if you want to test any yourself. I'm trying to test each command in con

We have identified cases where Illustrator 30.6 may unexpectedly change color assignments after a file is saved and reopened.The issue occurs when a swatch used by an artwork element is removed. Upon reopening the file, other artwork elements may be reassigned to different swatches.I would like to know whether there is a way to make Illustrator preserve the original color values when a swatch used by an artwork element is removed, or whether this behavior could be a bug in Illustrator 30.6.Could you provide some insight into this issue?

I create a normal AI document. Make my graphic and save it as an AI document. In the course of my work, I need to send something to my client and save the document save as .pdf. As if by magic, the AI_Document has now become a pdf document. I have lost hours of work this way if you don't notice. This stupid and absolutely not comprehensible behavior sucks. That's why I save the document: save as and don't just save the document. For this behavior it now urgently needs a patch! Immediately! Thx     {Renamed by MOD}

I just updated to the current version of illustrator. I am realizing some things are not working as they were in 30.2.1 until i get it figured out i wanted to install 30.2.1 alongside the newest version. When trying to reinstall 30.2.1 creative cloud only gives me the option to remove the current version and then go back to 30.2.1 which I ended up doing. how can i install two versions on the same computer at once?

Hello! I made a logo on Illustrator and it’s perfectly centered in the actual software. However, when I go to export it as a PNG file,  the logo goes to the right corner so when it exports and i open the png file, the logo is in the top right hand corner. Does anyone know how to fix it so it’s centered when I export it? Thank you! 

When applying a freeform gradient i can edit the color points but the fill turns invisible.I can choose from preset gradients, and can edit the linear and gradient ones, but as soon as i select freeform (points or lines doesn’t make a difference) the fill turns transparent. Illustrator 30.3 Windows

The blend tool has done a pretty good job of blending my ombre shape, but it colored outside the shape lines in a triangular pizza-like shape. How do I erase the pizza-like shape? 

Illustratorについて質問です。特定のaiファイルが開いたら真っ白になってしまいます。現状は下記の通りです。原因と対処法を教えていただけないでしょうか？ Illustrator2026（30.3）にてデータ作成。（2025など他バージョンで施行してみたが同様の画面表示です）白紙になったアートボードを除き、レイヤーを含む全てが消失しています。「PDFの互換ファイルを作成」をオフにしていたためプレビューの表示もありませんが、Illustrator上の（ファイルを開く前のスタンバイ状態の）プレビューのみプレビュー表示ができている状況です。 ・アウトライン表示でも何も表示されない状態です。・問題が起きるまでの間、バージョンの変更はしていません。・数時間前まで問題なく作業ができていたファイルです。・Time machineに保管していた、数日前のファイルを開いても同様の状況です。  

Hello everyone,I'm looking for some advice on the feasibility of a project I'm considering, and I'm also hoping to connect with an experienced Illustrator/Photoshop developer who might be interested in discussing it further.Current WorkflowI work for a company that creates art proofs for custom decorated apparel for our embroidery shop.Our current proofing process is almost entirely manual:Our sales manager downloads garment images from distributor websites or uses previously saved JPEGs. These images often still have white backgrounds or are not optimized for presentations. We place a customer's logo (AI, PDF, EPS, PNG, or JPEG) over the garment in Illustrator to create a proof. For flat garments like t-shirts, this is acceptable, but for angled products such as hats, bags, or garments photographed at a 45° angle, simply placing a flat logo over the image looks unrealistic because it doesn't follow the contours of the product.What I'd Like to BuildMy goal is to create a streamlined wo

Hi everybody, I’ve got a file with lines with pattern brushes on like in this attachment. However, the file with these in has stopped allowing you to select the line. Therefor, you can’t select the line any more to turn the pattern brush off or to modify anchor points in the shape.In image 1 the line is selected and can be modified but in image two the line in the shape is not selected or selectable. It has just selected all the shapes within the pattern brush. I can’t select the line in that shape any more! I could just make the line again when I want to edit it but that would be annoying and waste time.Thanks for your help,Gareth 

I have two .ai docs and when copy/pasting graphics from one, the appearance drastically changes. I need them to stay as they are in the first image. Both are in RGB mode 

Every time I export print-ready PDF artwork files, no matter what settings I export as, I keep getting the above dialogue box saying the document’s transparency blend space doesn’t match the destination colour space.The artwork elements don’t make any difference, whether they are entirely vector based, incorporate images etc.  Document colour mode is always CMYK, and exporting with FOGRA39 colour profiles.Any online guides that I find to go back to the artwork to try and resolve keeps telling me to go to a menu link that seems to be non-existent or now defunct, and strugglling to find anything even on here, so overall the dialogue box actually gives me very little advice or direction on how to resolve this, and just stop it showing up - and I think it’s the primary reason why print files I’m exporting end up getting printed paler than expected.It would be nice if someone could tell me what I actually need to do or where to change settings just to stop it coming up all the time (and I d
