Photoshop Images on illustrator, generate bad PDF Files !

When editing a native illustrator file with linked photoshop images on layers (cuts, paths with transparent background), and we generate a PDF file from any version since 1.4, we got the cuts and /or paths marked with a stroke (line) between the image and the background.
If we generate this file on version 1.3, this problem do not appear, but the images comes completely fragmented, what makes later edition impossible.

1. Please show screenshots
2. A PDF is not meant for editing. If you want to edit later, either save an AI file on top or save the PDF with Illustrator editing capabilities (this embeds a fully editable AI file into the PDF, of course making it bigger)
3. in a PDF 1.3 every transparency gets flattened which causes the fragmentation. Read the documentation on transparency, you'll need it anyway. There's a PDF called
A Designer's Guide to Transparency for Print Output
4. PDF version has to be selected carefully depending only on the demands of whoever prints or displays it afterwards.

Question about placing Photoshop images in Illustrator

Hi
Someone asked me for advice because they are trying to place a Photoshop image in Illustrator.
Is this a good idea?
It's unknown whether they are trying to Livetrace the image, Or just leave it sittin' pretty, so they can sketch around it and have it visible as a "placed" image before they export it to InDesign.
I don't think that they want to live trace it, i think they just want to put the image there so they can see it as they work.
What are the options?
Can these photoshop items in Ai become linked like they do in InDesign without any problems?
From what i hear it is not a good idea to "place" Photoshop images in illustrator, without live tracing them, because everything in Ai needs to be vector anyway.
thanks for any advice

>havent you noticed that whenever you live trace and expand a color image, it becomes thousands (sometimes tens of thousands) of separate vectors and consequently becomes very hard to move and work with?
Which is a very good reason not to do that.
>How do you just place the image in illustrator as sort of a placeholder image or linked image (non embedded) and work with it quickly as part of an Ai sketch, without needing to vectorize everything upfront? (by that i mean live trace/ expand
File> Place. Done.
>I've never seen someone trying to use raster images in Ai like it was a normal everyday thing.
You need to get out of the house more. It is done all the time.

Issue opening .AI file with linked/embedded images in Illustrator 6

Received an Illustrator 16.x ai file with 6 Linked\embedded images. Opening in Illustrator 16.0.3 2 images are missing, but opening in Illustrator 15.1 opens them correctly. Illustrator 16.0.3 has warning "Could not find linked file “filename.png”. Choose replace to select another file or Ignore to leave the link unchanged". Illustrator 15.1 has warning "The file “filename.ai” was created by a newer version of Illustrator. Would you like to import this file? Some data loss may occur.". When I open in Photoshop 12.1 and select Images only 4 images show. The two that are missing in ai. are not showing in Photoshop Images option tab, but are in Photoshop when I open the file using pages option tab. Any idea what is happening here and why Illustrator 15.1 opens fine, but Illustrator 16.0.3 cannot?
Thanks, Dale

Illustrator CS5 opens the PDF part of the file. Images are always embedded in that part, but you might not be able to edit all objects in it.
Illustrator CS6 will access the AI part of the file, where linked images are not embedded. You should ask for the images in order to edit the file.

How can I transfer a Photoshop image to Illustrator without it being pixelated?

I originally created an image in Illustrator and transfered it to Photoshop so i can change the hues. Now I want to take that Photoshop file and transfer it back to Illustrator but the the edges on the object are very jagged and rough whilst the object in Photoshop is smooth and the transition of gradients is smooth.

Photoshop images into Illustrator

I want to use a shape created in Photoshop with a style applied.When I bring it into Illustrator, apply Live Trace, the style disappears.
How can I keep the style intact?

Thak you Grant,
Just to confirm that I am proceeding correctly - I created the image in Photoshop, converted the layer with the object to smart object, placed it into Illustrator.
My observation is that the object does retain the appearance I need, but I can't select the object, as in Expand in Live Trace or Direct Seclect or Selection tool.
I will be using this image as a logo that I will be needing in a variey of sizes.
Any other tips you have for me?

When I print my photoshop images white areas print grey

Using my Epson Photo1500W images created in photoshop print grey in areas that should be White. There is no problem when I print images I have created in Illustrator or when I when I transfer the photoshop image into Illustrator. Any clues ? thanks Mikki

Did this problem recently start, or has it always been this way? Maybe a Preferences reset would fix it.
Windows - CTRL-SHIFT-ALT immediately after you double-click the PS icon.
Macintosh - CMD-SHIFT-OPTION immediately after you double-click the PS icon.
Look for the "Delete Photoshop Settings File" dialog and click "Yes".
If that is not the case:
Check your Printer settings, they are independent of Illustrator.
Look at the Print Dialog, see what Color management section looks like.
You have a choice to let the Printer or Photoshop manage colors. See what works best.

Create a link within a photoshop image?

forgive me if this topic has been beaten to death but i couldnt find what i was looking for in a search:
i'm importing photoshop images as each of my webpages but would like to create links from text within the .jpg file. i'm pulling out my hair trying to figure this out!
any suggestions? thanks in advance!

Chip:
Do you want to link the entire file or just a portion of it? To do the entire file select it and open the Inspector/Link pane and set the link to whatever URL you want.
If it's just a portion of the photo create a shape, resize and place of the portion of the picture you want to be a link, set the border to none, transparency to 1% and then use the Inspector/Link pane to set the link.

Tools Photoshop Image Processor improvement needed

If I use the Image Processor feature to convert images and I click on "Save in same location", then the images should be saved in (wait for it)...
The same location!
Please add an option to create a new directory for the converted files.

It's part of the Photoshop install and runs within Photoshop! Bridge simply provides a convenient method accessing it and other Photoshop, InDesign, GoLive, Illustrator scripts.

Choppy Blocky Images in Illustrator - HELP

When I open a high resolution image in Ai they look somewhat distorted and choppy. They are jpeg files that I am placing in order to envelope distort onto a mesh. For some reason any bitmap image I open with Ai looks like this. However, when I open the same image with Acrobat Pro or Ps the image looks perfect. Images are RGB in both apps.
Image in Ps or Acrobat Image in Illustrator
There most be something in Illustrator that is causing this. Images are being embedded and cannot be linked since they need to be distorted. I am runnung CS6 on Intel iMac Maveriks
If anyone can help I would be truly greatful!
Thanks in advance

Illustrator does not have as accurate a preview for bitmapped graphics. Usually the image jsut looks softer. Is the image scaled a large amount?
I suggest you print this, or do a save for web and view at 100% in photoshop.
I see your images are screenshot, cold you post the oriignal image, and tell us if the image looks bad prior to embedding & envelope distorting. You can also envelope distort or warp in photoshop, which I would recomend, unless you absolutley need to use make with top object.

Add Strokes to Placed Images in Illustrator

Hi All,
I'm having a problem to add a stroke "frame" around my tiff image in Illustrator. My image is a "traced picture" from Photoshop. I used the following technique:-
Technique: Use an Effect
Choose File > Place and select an image to place into Illustrator document.
Choose File > Place and select an image to place into Illustrator document.
The image is selected. Open Appearance panel and from the Appearance panel flyout menu, choose Add New Stroke.
With the Stroke highlighted in the Appearance panel, choose Effect > Path > Outline Object.
However, the result I got was the stroke around the image NOT the frame around the image.
How do I achieve it. Any help and tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Technique #1: Use a Mask
This technique requires Illustrator CS3 and works only when your keyline will be rectangular in shape.
Choose File > Place and choose an image to place into your Illustrator document. You can either Link or Embed the image. Once you've chosen the image, click the Place button.
The image is selected (if your image already exists in your document, select it now), so if you look in your Control panel at the top of the screen, you'll see a button labeled "MASK". Click on it. This creates a mask at the exact bounds of the image.
Press the "D" key for Default. This gives the mask a black 1 pt stroke attribute. Adjust the stroke per your design needs.
NOTE: An additional benefit to this method of using a mask is that you now have the elements in place to simulate a "frame and image" paradigm like InDesign. Once you've created your mask, you can decide to "crop" your image by double clicking anywhere on the photo. This will put you into Isolation Mode. Now click on the frame edge and resize at will. When you're done, double click outside the image to exit isolation mode and continue working. This method works wonderfully when you're using the Selection tool (black arrow) and have the Bounding Box option turned on (in the View menu).
Technique #2: Use an Effect
At first, it may seem that applying a keyline with the use of an Effect is a tedious process. But we all know that once we've applied an effect, we can store it as a Graphic Style, at which point applying our keyline will become a single click. Go ahead, ask me why Adobe doesn't ship Illustrator with such an effect as a default setting in the NDPs (New Document Profiles). Go ahead, ask me why Adobe doesn't allow us to assign keyboard shortcuts to styles like InDesign does. I don't have answers to either of those questions (sorry). But let's get on with the styles, shall we?
There are two separate effects that we can use, and each provides a different benefit.
Choose File > Place and select an image to place into your Illustrator document. You can either Link or Embed the image. Once you've chosen the image, click the Place button.
The image is selected (or if your image already exists in your document, select it). Open your Appearance panel and from the Appearance panel flyout menu, choose Add New Stroke. We can't see the stroke yet, because all we have is an image. But we'll change that in short order.
With the Stroke highlighted in the Appearance panel, choose Effect > Convert to Shape > Rectangle. Check the Preview button, select the Relative option, and set both the Extra Width and Extra Height to zero (0). (Be careful not to press Tab after you enter the second value, or it will switch back to Absolute.) Click OK to apply the effect. Style the stroke attribute to match your design preference.
Now make this easier to apply in the future. With the object still selected, open the Graphic Styles panel and click the New Graphic Style button at the bottom of the panel. Give the style an appropriate name. If you then add this style to your NDPs, it will be readily available in all new files that you create.

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.

PLACING Images in Illustrator documents and saving.

Is there any way to just embed pictures in an illustrator document, because I know when you PLACE (File> Place) them in, it creates a link, and if you accidently delete a pic or something it won't show up in your document you open. My question is: Is it possible once you place images in your document, to embed them permanantly without having them linked at all, yet still preserve editing capability?
I save out a lot of PDF's and sometimes the images are linked to the pdf's as well. I always have (preserve illustrator editing capabilities) checked when I save out my PDF's in order to make changes regularly. ANY HELP??

To embed images go to you links palette flyout menu and choose embed.
Experienced Illustrator users usually do not embed because
makes your illustrator files larger and slower.
cannot keep track of resolution or color space
they can keep track of their files without losing
making edits later is a longer process
overall control and management of image quality is better
Embedding images on large projects increase the overall project file size, because you make a copy of the image within illustrator each time you embed.
To edit embedded images, you need to copy from illustrator and paste them into photoshop. Problem is you do not know what original resulotion they are and you maybe upsampling the image or changing the colorspace/profile. If you still want to embed, you are better off , keeping an original image in your job folder, that you can edit in Photoshop, and then use the links palette in Illustrator to relink.
