"The image is normal when opening it normally from the folder" Normal where? In Photoshop? Did you download this photo from facebook by any chance? In one of the other incidents mentioned here, the images were downloaded from FB. Something in the image handling routines at FB's end is introducing some bad data. I had analyzed the JPEGs in that case and there was a flaw in every one of them in the header of the file (invalid pixel density) and a slight bit of unexpected code at the end of the files. In fact, one program I used to look at the images, the files would open with "Invalid data included in file", so something was definitely up. Anyway, simply resaving the files from another image program that isn't so picky about the header being correct, like Mac Preview, will rewrite the header and eliminate the issue. ... View more

What version ARE you running?  Apps you've installed previously, like your Photoshop, will continue to run under your CC subscription, but any other app you want to install now, as others have said, is limited to the last two most current versions. Be careful with your Photoshop, though... If you happen to uninstall it for any reason, you won't be able to reinstall that version again.   ... View more

I believe the OP is talking about a PDF of an InDesign document that they have uploaded to the website, and NOT talking about the logo as PART of the website. In any case, what they describe as the "transparent" part of the logo is probably a Composite shape "cutout" in Illustrator. It seems whatever browser viewer they are using is not rendering the winding direction properly, which causes it to lose its "cutout" status and end up being white layered on white.  Copying and pasting thos logo from one documnet to another is irrelevant. My question is: Is it only one specific Browser that does it? (i.e. chrome/firefox/safari/edge, etc), or all of them? In any case, if the PDF can be shared here, we can poke at it abit. ...

I just did a test on my Mac, and Chrome shows the same issue on Mac so it's not Cleartype causing the issue as that doesn't exist on Macs).

How well a particular viewer works is totally "on them". Most third party viewers, and especially browsers, are bad at it. Chrome is typically the worst. Adding to the misery is technology like Microsoft Cleartype, which can shift characters slightly in each independent channel RGB to "make it look better" on LCD screens*. If you are viewing this on a Windows install, turn off Cleartype if it's on and see if there's any difference. If not it's completely a Chrome issue. *Your screen grabs actually shows this effect, but not consistently. If you open one in Photoshop and toggle between the R G and B channels, you can see letters shift one pixel either direction. This doesn't happen on evey line though, so on the ones that it does, the overall effect is that the line looks "lighter" than the ones that don't. Regardless, this has NOTHING to do with the PDF itself. ... View more

@Monika Gause has pointed to the correct and best approach considering it's a simple graphic, but you could also do a simple swatch replacement if you want to completely rid yourself of that specfic Pink.. i.e. Add your new colour to the Swatches, then select both swatches (select the new one first, THEN Cmd/Ctrl-click to add the old one), then pull down Merge Swatches. This will replace every occurance of that pink in the document. ... View more

"But why hasn’t this been improved? " Until monitors are displaying the same resolution as an ouput device (not gonna happen anytime soon), this is what IS possible. There are only so many pixels on a monitor to play with, so on a typical 96-pitch monitor, you can only position the characters every 1/96"... kerning anywhere inbetween will pop left or right one full pixel once it passes the half-way point. It should be noted that you are incorrect in saying it's just an Adobe issue. I can tell you for a fact that all other programs do it as well. Quark, Word, even a simple Text Editor, does exactly the same thing when trying to precsisely move text in amounts less than the pixel density. If you want to see more precision, you must zoom in. ... View more

Here is what 12 pt Myriad would look like on a 300dpi laserwriter, hinted above and non-hinted below:   ... View more

Hinting is very much still a thing, and very much still included in fonts, but it's intent is really targeted to improve printed output of smaller fonts on, say, a laserwriter. Because of the way laser toner is applied, it can make a character look fatter than it should at those sizes, so hinting helps counteract that by making the character a bit thinner. It does come into play on the screen as well, but with anti-aliasing it's not as dramatic. Of course, on high-resolution devices, it's not really necessary. ... View more

This not a bug per se... it's actually in the category of "how things work". This is a font cache issue and is purely a display artifact. You will see it more prominent or less prominent depending on the resolution of your screen, and your current view percentage. Once a character of a font is rendered for the screen, each is stored as a bitmap in the cache for a particular size and orientation, and reused each time to speed up display avoiding having to render them again. Especially on pages with lots of text, not having to re-render each character saves time in redrawing the screen. However, because the bitmaps are already rendered, they can only be placed according to the pixel grid of your screen at that view, and will "snap" to the next available pixel column based on its position. When you kern like you wwre doing, you are moving the characters ever so slightly, but oOnce it gets past the half-way of a pixel's distance away, it snaps to the next available pixel position. And since each letter is defined with a slightly different starting position, the "snapping" will happen randomly as required in a line of text. The more you zoom in, or if you have a high-pitch monitor like a Mac's Retina screen, the less you will see this issue, or if you use a high-pitch display. This does NOT affect output, although the same thing technically happens on a high-resolution output device, but at such a high resolution that a one-pixel difference will not matter. The font cache approcah has been in use since the very beginning and is the basis of PostScript printing Other programs may not use a similar font cache approach, especially at certain type sizes and resolutions. The sample you saw with much smaller type and very low-resolution is rendering each character repeatedly and anti-aliasing them on the fly, probably since there is not much overhead there and it become beneficial to do it that way. ...
