Thank you very much for sharing, moroderix.
I like the lighter text and arc, and the further rotation.

Hey. i am also in the same dilemma. Your suggestion would only works if those shapes are filled or using a brush. What about some shapes created using blob brush and there is no fill but only strokes. I want to edit the completed work. Is there any other ways ??? TIA
Please show a screenshot of your artwork that includes the Appearance panel (the onw in Window > Appearance) and the Layers panel.

I've slightly refined the approach. It should now work on any arbitrary curvature.

I actually found a way to solve this without going into Photoshop, by changing the Proof Setup to RGB. When I did it, all colors in my artwork changed to those different weird colors I use to get when exporting, so I had to recolor my artwork by selecting the right colors from my Libraries. After exporting the project again in PNG, there were no issues anymore.

Did you not read the answer that has been marked as correct?
Just use a different document profile.
Or change the default graphic style in the web document profile.

No.
You can apply a PDF preset to it.
The difference between Save a copy and save as is only which file stays open after saving. With Save a copy you save the PDF and your original file stays open. With save as you save a file and that one stays open while the original file is closed.
Save a copy is just what you are asking for.

Thank you for your good wishes, Kurt.
I had only known about the Hundstage, but it seems that the other two might bring Schnee Stille rather than Katzenjammer, or much worse, Gebell von Hunden.

You may want to read these 2 help files, but there is a lot more to learn about color and color management:

You are welcome, Loise, and thank you for sharing.
Normally, it is a rare issue, but good to remember and consider if something strange occurs consistently as you have seen here.
Preference corruption has been a recurring subject for decades, much more often in the old days where some had them frequently, others occasionally or rarely, yet others never, the differences strangely sometimes seeming to depend on other things like computer OS.

Vysion,
You can do it in an old crude way and see everything as you go, with the following steps, Smart Guides still being your friends:
1) Direct Select the Anchor Point as in your image;
2) With the Line Segment Tool ClickDrag from the Handle into the Anchor to create a guide line;
3) Click the Scale Tool, then Alt/OptionClick the end of the guide line (to scale from there), then set the Uniform Scale suffiently high to extend the guide line;
4) Direct Select the path segment to reveal the Handle, then ClickDrag the Handle along the guide line as desired and see the path change;
5) Delete the guide line 3), or hide it if you may need to use it again.

Danny,
Further to your original considerations, about this,
"so far I haven't found a way of automating it in a way that is clean and doesn't require me manually constructing each curve"
I believe the Blend attempt seems to show that you would have to reconstruct the (hopefully only two) original curves to enable a Blend solution, which might be possible by redrawing/recreating (hopefully either of) the shapes with different Anchor Points to obtain the same appearance (closely enough) , and then use a Blend.
This would be different to an automated way, but less so than manually constructing each intermediate curve.

Thank you. That's exacly what I need to do. The highlight is very useful to me, but the alignment snaping is not. This way I can turn them off without losing the highlight.

Gautam, Hi. Here I played with Blend Steps, 4pt circles. Blend Steps of 238 gives you 240 dots. Then I replaced Spine with the stroke shape. Notice there is NO distoration of "Dots". It' still a 4pt circles. You can expand the Blend Steps and tweak the circles postiton Dots, if you wish. K

Assuming you may want to hold together your text in one or several type objects (instead of using single type objects per word), this is what you can do with circular Area Type objects with some Inset Spacing.
It may require a bit of fine-tuning, but it's already pretty suitable without having to do so.

Yes I can see it has done some strange things with the background image too.
You had some nice ideas though, There will be a new challenge (number 231) posted tomorrow (Friday in UK)

My appologies - it is correct. I understood it wrong. I drawed small rectangle, enough to make that one specific round corner. After 1 hour I realized that shape has to be over all picture or linked file! Now it works perfectly. Cant delete my previous post, so I wanna thank you guys for guidance. It was truly correct. My sincere appologies ladies and gents 🙂
