Pattern on Tiff Image After Cropping and Rotating

  • December 11, 2024

Running AI 29.1 on macos (Sonoma 14.6.1). 

 

I can take an image and import it into AI without issue (See Original.png)

I can rotate the image (See Rotate.png) or Crop the image (See Crop.png) without issue. 

 

The moment I crop and rotate the same image I get some pretty bad artifacts on the image that persist after exporting the image as a png or as a pdf (See Crop and minor rotate.png and Crop and Major Rotate.png)

 

Any way to prevent this issue and or how to fix it would be greatly appreciated. I need to be able to crop and rotate the image so skipping one of these steps is not an option.   

 

Best,

Seems to be a known issue:

No fix implemented yet in Illustrator but can be done in photoshop.

Do you keep the resolution and scale the same?

Nope, during the process of cropping and rotating I am not changing the scale of the photo.

I cannot reproduce that. I rotated your image, made a copy on top, cropped it and used difference blending mode to show any differences.

Here is a more obvious example of the artifacts on the image.  See the rotate square boxes appearing on the image.

Example without artifacts.
