Is it possible to import illustrator images?

I ask because I have sort of.
I imported an image, but the transparent areas show as black in Aperture. I guess its sort of seeing it as PDF?

Hi Air7, it's possible with Aperture 3.2.2, but only in Sow Leopard. It does not work in Lion (one of the reasons why I don't upgrade). But it's only for having all your graphic files in one place. If you wan't to work with the ai file, you must first export it on your desktop and open it from there.

  • Is it possible to import an image w/ transparent background from photoshop?

    Hello,
    I was wondering if it's possible to import an image which contains a transparent part of it into Motion, so I can later add in images and videos underneath that layer.
    Thanks for your time.

    hi again,
    there are two ways to do this. In Photoshop you can elect to have a transparent background, if you erase your image to show the chequered background, Motion will do the same.
    Or from within Motion you can apply a mask to an image to have it show whats underneath. Apply the mask using the mask tools in the toolbar to the image, then step over to the Inspector, hit the mask tab and select the type as subtract. That will punch a hole in your image revealing whatever is underneath it.
    thanks

  • Manipulate illustrator images in Flash

    Once i have imported Illustrator images into Flash (CS3) can
    i manipulate them, to animate them? If so How?
    Thanks

    You'll find that your imported images are probably layered
    or nested
    into numerous groups, drawing objects, and symbols. Any one
    of those
    elements (groups, options, or symbols) behave just as if they
    were created
    in Flash, and you can minuplate them as such.
    If an imported image (with all its nested elements) is
    already on the
    Stage, just select the whole collection and convert the whole
    thing into a
    symbol. At that point, your symbol will behave just like any
    other ... you
    can move it as a collective group, you can change its alpha
    transparency,
    give it a tint, and so on. If your symbol is a movie clip,
    you can also
    alter its blend mode and add effects, such as drop shadow,
    blur, and the
    like.
    Let me know if that helps, or if you still have questions.

  • Image problems importing Illustrator 10 file into Flash MX.

    Hello,
    I'm working on my portfolio and want to import an Illustrator
    (version 10) file into Flash (Flash MX). The problem I'm having is
    that when I import the Illustrator file into Flash, it comes out
    looking blurred. I tried exporting the Illustrator file into
    Photoshop and saving it as a JPEG, PNG, and TIFF (in each file
    format, changing the image size to 72 dpi) and I still get the same
    blurred result. I also tried saving the file for web, in
    Illustrator (in JPEG and PNG formats) with no success as well.
    The Illustrator file is a small collage of my graphic design
    work (where I pasted graphic work done in Illustraor and made
    clipping masks to collage them together), so I'm not sure if
    bringing these files together maybe causing some technical issue or
    is importing Illustrator files into Flash just something that will
    always appear blurred. If so, is there a way I can bring the file
    into Photoshop and work with it where I can import it without the
    blurred appearance?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • Is it possible to import images larger than 32,768 pixels in a 64-bit version of Photoshop (CS4 or later)?

    I deal with grayscale images that are 33,000x33,000 pixels. Right now I am limited by the amount of RAM I can allocate in CS3 which is 32bit. I would like to upgrade to a 64bit version of Photoshop but still be able to import my images.

  • Is it possible to use an image as the "base" of a mapviewer?

    Hi,
    I am trying to use a jpg image as the "base" of a mapviewer. After Insert the image, I create a "georaster theme" for it. Then, I create a "base map" by using the georaster theme created in the previous step. Up till now, both "georaster theme" and "base map" can be preview normally. After that, I create a "title layer" by using the "base map" which I created. However, only a write rectangle shown up when I preview the "title layer".
    So, I wonder it is possible to make a map by using an image as it base? If yes, would you mind telling me how to make it done. And, what value should I input for the following parameter:
    a) When I import an image in mapbuilder:
    1) Top X coordinate , Top Y coordinate
    2) X resolution, Y resolution
    b) When I make a title layer:
    1) Max X , Min X, Max Y, Min Y
    2) Zoom in scale (Once I zoom in the image, the image is gone?? It's very strange)
    Here's the property of that image:
    Dimension = 288 * 175
    Width = 288 pixels
    Height = 175 pixels
    Horizontal resolution = 72 dpi
    Vertical resolution = 72 dpi

    iMacs late 2009 or newer can be used in Target display
    mode.  Any older, no can do.
    The only other way is via network Screen Sharing or
    some otherVPN network like solution.  The issue here
    though is that video performance will be pretty severely
    hampered.

  • Importing Illustrator with effects into flash

    I was curious if there is a way to import Illustrator files seamlessly into flash. My project in Illustrator has a lot of effects like drop shadows
    here is what the file looks like: http://adjustreality.com/uploads/mando.jpg
    so as you can see it is pretty complex. I want to import as much as I can in vector so that it saves on load time since i already built it in vectors. is it possible to import most of it in vector then just rastor the stuff that might not translate like gaussian blur etc?

    answered my own question, I just pasted it in and it asked to use some illustrator import tool, works perfect.

  • Why the White Lines around imported Photoshop Images

    Working in CS6, importing native Photoshop images into an Illustrator gradient.  Certain imported Photoshop images, with transparent background, produce white lines bordering the images.   The white lines stand out against the AI gradient.  The whites lines are not visable on screen.  They came out in the commercially printed product.  The overall AI document, with PS images placed and linked, was save to a PDF.  It was then printed from the PDF. The PDF, as viewed on screen, does not show the white lines either.  Why and how do the white border lines (the box surrounding the image) appear?

    First I would recommend making sure there are indeed »no pixels« there in Photoshop – applying the Layer Style Stroke can help locate stray, semitransparent pixels.
    Other than that I am afraid your print service provider may not have provided optimal output.
    What print process was employed anyway?
    It looks like flattening effects, but those should simply not be visible in print.
    They happen when exporting X1 or X3 pdfs, which disallow transparency, so in creating the pdf the psd files that have transparency are flattened with whatever background and often broken up into smaller parts.
    That way a whole mess of fragmentary images can be created, as one can see when one opens such a pdf in Illustrator.
    One can avoid that by creating X4 pdfs, which do allow transparency, but if those can be processed by the printer is another question.
    But this issue might be more suitable to the Illustrator or pdf Fora.

  • Why are my Illustrator images getting thicker strokes when I take the bounding box and make them smaller?

    Why are my Illustrator images getting thicker strokes when I take the bounding box and make them smaller? This has never happened to me. I'm not an expert at Illustrator, but I do know some fundamentals.

    Thank you for responding so quickly. No apologies necessary - I know this Forum isn't McDonalds - don't expect an answer to be served up right away. You helped me out with a big issue yesterday.
    I am using a mac - OSX 10.7.5
    I have Adobe Creative Suites - CS5 - Illustrator version is 15.0.2
    The contents I am placing are all  Vector - Illustrator files
    But, I wonder about some of the vector files I work with.  Could a "line weight/thickness" be 'assigned' to the drawing and screw things up? I used 'simple' linear (line) drawings from SolidWorks that have been converted to ai files. It's just weird because I checked the stroke of the drawing and it's not out of line.
    I am attaching part of some box labels. You can see how the drawings, of the products, on the 'left side' are "thick" after embedding them. I think the "Global Logo" was pasted into a template not linked that's why it's okay. But look at the Quiet Thunder logo - it looks terrible. These labels are only 2.25" X 6.5", so its important I keep the images lightweight. 
    Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you!

  • Is there a way to command a button to import an image?

    I was trying to build a template/form to be filled out, and had this question to see if it was possible. So far I have three fields set to input text. The last thing I am trying to do is create a button where someone might be able to import an image into a designated large boxed off area. Is this possible?

    This is a current bug.  Please report it via "Aperture→Send Aperture Feedback".
    Just to clarify, the problem is not auto-cropping, the problem is the the crop tool aspect ratio is arbitrarily set (in my case, always to something close to the current crop aspect ratio).  You can reset it (on a per-crop basis) to "Do not constrain".
    It is very bothersome.
    You might try trashing your prefs.  Details on the Trouble-shooting page.  I have had the bug return more than once.

  • Extremely slow display of imported PDF images

    We have been using imported PDF images in FrameMaker for many years now with great success. However, something happened a few weeks ago that now causes several of our machines to take an extremely long time to display PDF images. For example, a 200KB imported PDF image that previously took less than 1 second to render now takes 14 seconds. It is now almost impossible to work with many of our documents, which contains 100+ images.
    This has happened on several of our PCs running FrameMaker 8 (via the TechComm suite). These machines have the following software configuration.
    FrameMaker 8.0p277
    Adobe Acrobat 8.1.3
    Windows XP Professional SP3
    We have also disabled all plugins, but there is no difference - the problem still persists.
    However, there is one machine in our office that is not affected. It has the following configuration.
    FrameMaker 8.0p277
    Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0
    Windows XP Professional SP3
    Is it possible that Acrobat is affecting the PDF import? Or is it recent changes to XP? Or something that has been updated in the background?
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    In practical terms, you can always toggle the display of graphics off in FM, but that doesn't work for all situations.
    A few things to check:
    Did you optimize the PDFs when they were created? (You'd still want to avoid downsampling and compression, but optimization still reduces the size.)
    Also, a lot of the graphics processing is memory-intensive, so you should be using machines that are loaded up with RAM and have healthy open space.
    Finally, if it happens consistently, the machines' anti-virus programs may be screening everything every time each file is opened. So adjust those settings... That's easy to test for too -- just shut it off and try an import.
    How heavily are the servers being hit by other applications and users, and how fast is the network? Not being able to serve the files quickly enough is another chokepoint.
    Move a book with Bruce Foster's Archive plugin to create a local copy and test with that to see if the problem is actually FM and the local machine, or something outside.....
    It may also be worth checking to see if the computers have the lastest graphics card drivers loaded too.

  • Batch import of images

    Hi,
    Is it possible to batch import images into iBA?
    I would like to have 1 image per page (different images) and do this for, say, 200 pages.
    Is this possible?
    Placing an image on the template page and placeholder and generating many pages, then manually drag each image to each page works, but an automated sequence would be nice. Anyone knows if it can be done?
