Hi everyone. I am using illustrator for about an year now. Recently found out that my eyedropper is picking colors in strange manner. Here are 4 different examples.1. The original color sample is picked with the eyedropper tool from the image viewer window but resulted in different color #40a2ea2. Here I used snip tool in windows 7 to capture the quick snapshot from image viewer and pasted the copied from clipboard. Illustrator pasted the image with the same color as picked in previous case.3. In this case I directly dragged the original color sample file into the illustrator as a Linked file. then picked the color from it. Result was #41a6eb4. I embedded the linked image now and used eyedropper again. Now it gives me the original color.[I am using Illustrator cc 2015 3.1 with Document color->RGB and proof colors unchecked]Please help why wrong colors are picked when simply using eyedropper tool to sample from an outside window.

Hi all, can anyone help me please!? I would like to know if there is a way to change an objects dimensions/shape withouth distorting it once it has been rotated? Before rotation is seems so easy, select the object/s with the V seletion tool and then drag one of the corners to the desired shape/size - everything stays together and changes size proportionally.  But that same object/group of objects or lines, once rotated seems impossible to easily change size/dimensions withouth distorting. any ideas?

I inflated the green text and turned on ray tracing to high, rendered, expanded appearance to remove the wiry lines and my object looks blurred in some spaces. How can I resolve this?

En Illustrator se que llegué a generar alguna imagen , pero desde hace unos meses no me aparece la opción de generar imagenes con Ai. En photoshop me funciona bien.

HiPreviously, images were embedded by default, but recently I have had an issue where images are not being embedded in files.  I have several files that are ongoing and I add to /alter frequently. Is there an option to always embed by default in new files?  Also, is there a way to go back to existing files and set it to embed automatically? I have Illustrator 2020 on Windows 10.

I have a halftone from Phantasm but I need each dot to be a round number, ie 3mm, not 3.452mm. I've found scripts for rounding text sizes but I've been unsuccessful in adapting them to resizing multiple objects at once.Does anybody have a solution?Thanks

In the Adobe Help Guide, it is stated that the "largest ring" is calculated as a percentage of the average ring. However, when experimenting, I noticed discrepancies in the results. For example, when creating a flare with a 100pt diameter, 5 rings, and setting the largest ring to 100%, with the path set to 300pt, the calculated ring sizes are: 10pt, 10pt, 75pt, 150pt, and 300pt. When I calculate the average of these rings, it comes out to 109pt, but the largest ring is not 100% of this average size. Could you clarify how Illustrator calculates the largest ring and why the results seem to differ from the described method? 

Bonjour, je n'arrive pas a ouvrir l'application illustrator. J'ai télécharger Créative cloud mais pas moyen. Voici le message que j'ai "Impossible de charger les fichiers de ressources traduits. Pour corriger ce problème, veuillez réinstaller l’application".  Pouvez-vous m'aider ?

Possibly with the last update or possibly I changed something in the preferences, but now Illustrator is creating multiple tmp files and bak files when I'm working and saving files.  In a recent project I was creating 200+ files and now I have over 800+ tmp and bak files.  I've read several forums to go into preferences and uncheck Automatically Save Recover Data..., but it's still creating all these tmp files.  I'm tired of deleteing 10-20 tmp files every day.  Any suggestions?     {Renamed by MOD}

Why is the Illustrator Beta for ARM64 restricted to certain regions. I reside in Taiwan and although my language is set to English US, I don't see the beta available in creative cloud. This is extremely disappointing. Such a big company and you do such petty things for reasons unknown to customers. Affinity has native ARM64 versions for their products, whereas we customers pay a huge monthly subscription fee and Adobe fails to deliver the product as promised. This is slowly resulting in corrosion of trust on Adobe, especially when you demand a premium for subscription.Is there any availaibility or should we jump on to Affinity and abandon Adobe all together? To mention, I am not alone, you can do a quick reddit search and 5 of my own friends got the Surface Laptop and are frustrated with Adobe's lack of apps as promised.

Hi guys, i been struggling trying to make the gradient line effect in illustrator (The effect i want to replica is in the picture bellow Anyone know how to make the effect the fastest ways ? Perharp i can draw them one by one but that would be time consumming and less effective isnt it. Thing i been trying: - Trying to make a line symbol then using the symbol spray tool- Make a brush that just a single line then use scattering brush to draw - Make one curve line then using the tranform tool to duplicate it By far none of the method could give me the effect that similar to what i want. The line partten are random with diffrence stroke thickness and slightly curve Anyone got any idea that i could try ?

Hi teamI'm reaching out again regarding my experience with Adobe Illustrator. Previously, I was using version 27.9, and after upgrading to the current version, I noticed a significant increase in runtime for my process.Previous Process Time: 15 hoursCurrent Process Time: 24 hoursAdditionally, while running the software, I checked the Task Manager and observed that both memory and CPU usage are excessively high.This issue occurs every time I upgrade the version, and it's becoming quite troublesome.Could you please provide some necessary actions or solutions to improve this situation?Thank you!

The latest update has added very close to twice as much time to work tasks because now the application sits in a spinning beach ball mode for at least 1 - 3 solid minutes each time I try to move to a new open window. This is with files and links that are completely local to my machine. It's made my work life [cursing removed]. Is there a way to downgrade?

Hello community. I've recently encountered a bug witht the selection and direct selection tool. When I click on an object to select it, then move my mouse a little, the object follows me for part of the way. There is also a lag when this happens. Both tools have the same issue. I've tried it with existing files and new files. Just to be clear, I'm not clicking and holding down the mouse button. I'm simply clicking on the object, letting go, and as soon as I move my mouse the object moves with me.  I was running the latest version but tried installing the last three versions and I'm having the same issue. Anyone know what could be causing this. See attached video. Thanks in advance. 

Had just updated to Illustrator 27.7  Opened a drawing. Scrolling the mouse wheel up and down would cause Illustrator to freeze.  Not responding, had to force Illustrator to close.This is repeatable every time. Found that selecting "View/Preview on CPU" (ctrl E)  fixed the crashing.  (This is the second line down on the View Menu on the top bar.)Changed it back to ""View/GPU Preview", and sure enough, scrolling the mouse wheel crashed Illustrator almost immediately.  Changed it to "Preview on CPU", and it is fine again. Maybe this will help someone who also is fighting this problem...  Or let them find out why this bug is happening...

Boa tardeEspero que estejam bem!Quando copio os objetos com os grupos e transfiro para um outro arquivo elas se desorganizam, preciso ficar organizando novamente todas as vezes? Segue video para melhor entenderem 

If I use the Keyboard shortcut Ctrl + C or Ctrl + X to Copy or Cut, Illustrator will not cut (delete) the object, neither will it copy it, and the Paste option is greyed out and will continue to stay greyed out for the remainder of the time I'm in the program. If I restart the program and manually select Copy from the Edit menu, then I am allowed to Paste it as I please (Paste, Paste in Place, etc). Otherwise if I elect to use the Keyboard Shortcuts for any of the aforementioned actions, the whole system breaks and I cannot manually copy or paste things from the menu anymore. Any insight as to what is causing this using the information I provided? Any and all questions welcome lol
