Hi,I'm struggling with this issue where I take a screenshot from a site I'm pulling colours and when I place in Illustrator the colour changes slightly.. Its important that its exact. This first image is the correct colour (how it is on the site). Then when I place it or open it in Illustrator this is how it looks:I have been trying to find solutions on this forum, and have tried: Opening it in photoshop and resaving, then opening in illustrator (doesn't work). Checked and fiddled with colour management settings which are currently as follows (which to the best of my knowledge is how they should be) and haven't had any results:Document colour mode is RGB, and in the name bar it says '(RGB/GPU Preview)'.I can manually match the colour or at least get close in Illustrator, but its a nuisance to do it this way.Any help would be greatly appreciated

This Illustrator warning:"Your current color settings honor CMYK profiles in linked content but profiles were set to be ignored when this document was created."comes up for EVERY SINGLE FILE we receive, download, purchase.Yet these warnings are constantly there. I honestly have no memory of this always happening in Illustrator in earlier versions. HOW DO YOU GET RID OF THESE‽And don't say "you have to work in the profile they were set up in."I'm a video editor and animator,I want to work in RGBand frankly I don't really care about a colour profile mismatch.I want the warnings banished.  I absolutely cannot stand OK dialogues.Extra clicks for nothing seems like some kind of punishment for something I didn't do.As far as programmers are concerned,I think it should just be a warning symbol that appears in the bottom of the frame without an "ok" buttonor maybe a temporary floating warning that appears off to the side. 

 Hi community,Copy and paste commands don't work in illustrator. On some objects/texts they work, while on others they don't.

My symbol tools suddenly stopped working. The symbol sprayer still works but none of the tools to adjust the symbols will do anything. I can't find any information on how to fix them. I've tried closing and reopening the program and resetting Illustrator preferences. Any suggestions?

After the latest update on my Mac Studio M1, I have a problem. Selecting an object takes about 1 second after clicking on it to become selected. If I move the pointer right after selection, the object moves with it. Not sure how to fix it; could it be a bug?I have made a short screen recording of the problem.I appreciate any help you can provide.   

I have loading screen popping up that I cannot cancel. It says "Verifying access to ....drive name and folder ..."This drive has been renamed years ago and every old project I reopen searches for that access for full minute. It happens multiple times. I try to relinked it - Illustrator:" let's see if this old drive has suddenly reappeared and then you can continue your work" - again 1 minute waiting. Add cancel button atleast. I don't ever see that again. How I do that?

Hello all.  New to Adobe and apologize if the question is very basic.  I searched the community and did not seem to find any answers.  I am building a catalog, and when I copy/paste a section or clip to reword for the next section, it does bring over the existing font, etc. - but when I delete and retype the new descriptions, it uses an odd font I don't want.  Is there a way to ask the program to maintain the fonts in each section?  I didn't find an area in preferences to change the default font for this document.  Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!!

Anyone else's cutstudio suddenly stopped working? Using illustrator 2024, cutstuduo plugin 3.4.4 and cutstudio 3.14 app.Connection is fine, when i got to cut, my gs-24 lights up blue, the motor loads like it's about to cut then nothing. Did a fresh install of illustrator 2024 and cutstudio on another desktop and I get the same issue. Tried xfcut and worked fine so not a hardware issue.

How can I check image size and pixels when working with an image in illustrator?

It would be great if Adobe Illustrator allowed users to save custom font sizes (such as 150pt, 200pt, etc.) to the default text size dropdown in the Character panel. Currently, while you can manually enter large font sizes, they don't appear in the dropdown for future use. Allowing custom sizes to be added to the dropdown would save time, improve workflow consistency, and make working with large text sizes more efficient. Thank you for considering this feature!

I've recently set up a new Mac server and I'm having an issue where Illustrator creates duplicate files when saving. They have a strange prefix similar a temp file, but have an .ai suffix and when I try to delete I get the 'file in use' error message. I tried restarting the server, files still there and still cant delete them. Anyone had a similar issue? Screenshot attached for reference. Running Illustrator version 27.01 on a 2021 Macbook Pro in Monterey. Server is running Mojave.  

Hello, I am at my wits' end with Illustrator. The app keeps crashing- sometimes once I try to print, sometimes randomly. I've spoken to adobe agents and tried uninstalling, reinstalling, updating, as well as deleting other possibly conflicting apps off my laptop (wacom tablet, all printers, etc). I had been using illustrator 2025 (29.1), then on agent advice switched back to 2024, then back to 2023. All are having the same issue. One thing that strikes me as particularly odd is that all three applications seem unable to store anything I input (ie settings). Every pop up window I select "do not ask me again" seems to forget this and continually asks me again. My recent files are only showing one design from two years ago, none more recent. Autosave is temperamental, sometimes when relaunching things reappear, mostly though they're lost. What do I do to resolve this? I need a functioning Illustrator, and am losing days of work and of my life trying! Any advice wo

Hello everyone. I was working on an illustrator file and did everything necessary to save the files correctly. I can now see the preview of the files, but the date is missing as soon as I open the file. I am attaching screenshots. I have tried data recovery on my computer, where it saves data recovery files, but the file is not there. It might be because I worked directly on the file while saving on a memory stick and not directly on the PC.  is there a way I can retrieve the data? 

Recently, I updated Illustrator from 22.0 to 23.0, and when I first started using the new version, the user experience for creating/resizing shapes, among many other things, had changed. Now, I can't resize shapes once I've created them without going into the Transform panel.Above is me selecting a circle in Adobe Illustrator 22 for a tutorial. And this is what happens when I select a circle in the latest version. I have tried everything but I still can't resize it without going to the Transform panel, which I find very inconvinent.Also, I noticed the background colour of the document (outside the artboard) had changed to white, even though I didn't change the settings for this to happen.In an attempt to solve this problem, I followed the instructions on the Adobe website to reset the settings back to the default. This didn't change anything.I don't know any other way to solve this problem apart from to downgrade back to Adobe Illustrator 22.1, although I am prepared to go even further

Bonjour,Je rencontre un problème assez gênant sur Illustrator (version 29.1).Lorsque je sélectionne un objet avec l'outil de sélection (V), le cadre de sélection met environ 3 secondes à s'afficher, ce qui ralentit considérablement mon flux de travail.J’ai tenté plusieurs solutions sans succès :Désinstallation et réinstallation d’Illustrator.Retour à une version antérieure du logiciel (v28.0).Le problème persiste dans tous les cas. Une solution temporaire consiste à cliquer et glisser pour sélectionner une zone incluant l'objet, ce qui fonctionne immédiatement. Cependant, cela complique certaines manipulations comme l'édition de texte ou les ajustements précis, car le retard provoque souvent des erreurs ou des décalages lorsque je déplace la souris.Avez-vous déjà rencontré ce problème ou connaissez-vous une solution ? Je vous remercie d’avance pour votre aide.En pièce jointe une capture vidéo et la config de mon mac (Macbook diagnostiqué sans aucun problème)

Illustrator was working fine for me all last week and I've never had a problem using the selection tool to grab and resize my objects but for some reason today my selection tool will only SELECT objects, not resize them.  Upon approaching the corner of an object, the black arrow remains but a small white square appears at the bottom right instead of the entire cursor turning into resizing/rotating arrows.  I tried restarting my computer to no avail.  It happens on objects I create as well as objects that I place in.  Any thoughts...?  Thank you!

Hi All,  I have come up with some custom designs that i want to turn into SVG's but I really struggle with the adobe suite. If possible, I am looking for someone to translate these designs with illustrator and teach me the process at the same time, please. I am more than happy to pay for your time, if required. The designs are fairly simple. Thanks, T

I have an object that when i try to apply the Color pencil effect, no matter what it just grays or blacks out.  However, when i appy the grain effect, it works as expected.About 50% of the effects work as expected, 50% do not.  What am I doing wrong? No matter the object. No matter what. I have checked the colors to make sure it was not on grayscale. My computer is more than capable enough to render complex graphics, so I do not understand what I am doing wrong here. Any help would be very very appreciated! Cheers,Bob

I had a custom illustration created that contains a scene with characters.The final AI file doesnt have the characters each in their own layer where I can select them and isolate or do other thigns with them. Instead, its all one layer and everything is a path or compound path. Its like a bunch of small shapes that make up the image and different parts of the scene are scatter around.It seems strange to me but I am able to work in photoshop and not in Illustrator.Is this common? Doe the method have a name that i can search to find out more on it

Hello thereI am recording an action titled " Rasterize to Vector" The idea is to ceate a single action that converts an object with strokes and text and shapes into a single vector object:Step 1: Create new set -> Name and Record -> Rasterize with a white bg Step 2: Select Image Tracing - DefaultStep 3: Select Image Tracing options -> Toggle down "Advanced" arrow - Select "Ignore Color" -> i drop the white bg -> Close panel -> Select "Expand" -> End recordWhen I do this action while I record it completely removes the bg while converting the object int to a solid detailed vector. However when playing it back it gets as far as converting the rasterised image with the white bg into a vector with the white back ground still present.- The action is not recording the Advanced drop down squence where I select Igonring Color and selecting the white bg section to be removed. Any solutions of this issue? Thanks in advance 🙂
