Problems with Tiling Using Illustrator CS6 to Create a Half-Drop Repeat

Okay...I had a different issue in PhotoShop CS6, but found some great advice and that did the trick.
Here's a screenshot of what I'm experiencing using swatches to fill an artboard that is 45" x 36" (fabric width/length):
I did the offset for the image of the crabs, but it is strange that I am seeing the lines in between the tiles.  Any thoughts and/or advice on how to fix?
Many thanks!!! 
Nancy

Let me see...I'll be back in a minute...
Still getting the same lines...it is a flat color behind the crab, so there really shouldn't be any strange matching at edges of tiles.  Here's my process:
(1) Create art board
(2) Draw a rectangle over the art board - no fill/no stroke
(3) Add swatch from swatches to fill
Many thanks for your assistance with this!

  • Problems with Tiling in PhotoShop CS6

    Hello!
    I am having difficulty with tiling in PhotoShop CS6.  I am trying to do a half drop repeat and a block (brick) repeat using a single image that I've manipulated with filters, etc.
    When I make the pattern and then apply it to a new document, I get some strange striped coloring.  The image has been flattened.  See screenshot below:
    Can anyone tell me why I am getting this strange coloration (I kind of like it, but not what I really want)?
    I sincerely appreciate any help anyone can provide!  Thank you! 

    Did you use the Paint Bucket Tool set to Pattern to fill the layer?
    If so, go to Edit>Fill and uncheck the Scripted Patterns, press Cancel and then try again.

  • Problem with installing adobe illustrator cs6?

    I am having trouble installing adobe illustrator cs6.When it gets to 2% it says "the setup encountered an error (37) during install. Please restart the machine and try again." I tried restarting my computer but it still shows that message.

  • Printing problems using Illustrator CS6 (Mac)

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble using Illustrator CS6. I just bought an HP LaserJet CP1025nw color printer. My operating system is Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    I've printed two different format files (.ai and .png) in Illustrator, but there are white lines (without printing) ocurring in the exact same place on both documents, this only happens in Illustrator, not Photoshop or any other software. I did a test using exactly the same .png file in many applications, except for Illustrator, the file is printed perfectly.
    I asked HP for help, but they say this is a problem caused by Illustrator CS6 and they can't do anything about it.
    What can I do to solve this problem? Could you please help me?
    I've already installed the latest update of this software.
    Thanks in advance.

    hong,
    You need to ClickDrag just a tiny bit, then apply the Shift Option Command.

  • New GPU Quadro k5200 installed and having problem with my AE, PPro CS6  not using the GPUs cuda.

    Hi guys, I recently bought a workstation from BOXX tech with a new GPU Quadro k5200 installed in it.
    I am having problem with my AE, PPro CS6 using the GPUs cuda.
    I went to Nvidia Settings and use the specific App to select it to use GPU n- Quadro k5200. But still not working.
    Please help

    If you edited the Cudatextfile in the Adobe Premiere CS6 directory correctly then the acceleration should be enabled. The only way it it's not is if you have the wrong driver for that version of Adobe or did not edit the text file with the exact name of the card. You can use the GPUsniffer in that same Premiere directoy with the command prompt to see the name the GPU should be listed as. The Ray Tracer file in AE has to be edited with the same listing.

    Hi Heiko
    Did you create a package for enterprise deployment?
    Creative Suite Enterprise Deployment | Adobe Developer Connection
    The Adobe Enterprise packaging tool varies depending on which version of CS or CC you are packaging.
    Also you need to have a license/serial number that supports the use of enterprise deployment tools.  These tools allow you to create an install package that is already serialised and doesn't prompt for AdobeID where you license agreement supports such deployments.
    Also what image deployment system are you using to which client OS.
    The process is pretty simple now with the improved tools from Adobe, still some improvements they can make but it's a lot better than in the past.
    Good luck.

  • Problem with scrollable content in cs6

    hi out there
    well since i while i'm using the cs6 to create folios. now i have a problem i didn't have in cs5.5. if i create a scrollable content ("durchlaufbarer rahmen" in german) in the folio overlays i can't navigate on the area where this element ist placed. if i place a full screen scrollable content on one page and open the folio on the ipad i'm stuck at this page...
    ...hope someone out there knows a way to fix this problem.
    thanks - alex

    So there is a way to retain the PDF version of an article with this?
    I've tried adding an MSO over a scrolling area of text (separate from the frame, but still on top of it), and I've also tried placing it within the scrolling frame.
    Neither of these worked.
    Is there something I'm missing? What specifically allows this workaround to work? I'd love to include some full page scrolling content without making the viewer get stuck on one scrolling page in the middle of the document.

  • Problem with reinstalling Adobe Illustrator CS4 on new pc

    Using a new PC with Windows 7.  Upon reinstalling and inputting serial number, prompt appears..."We looked inthe default locations for qualifying products installed on this machine but none found.  You may verify upgrade eligibility now by completing fields to the right."  Choices given do not include Adobe Illustrator CS4.  What next?  I appreciate the help.

    I have a disc in the same box  that says CS3.  I thought that was an older version.  Should I try installing that disc first?  It seems to have a different serial number. Thanks so much for your help.  I appreciate it.

  • I'm having problems with CS2 (mainly illustrator and photoshop

    I'm having problems with CS2 (mainly illustrator and photoshop ) randomly shutting down while trying to save a file. Reformatted my laptop for fear of a virus and reloaded... I have gotten nowhere.
    Please Help!

    CS3 still had issues with the preferences becoming corrupt, so a possible workaround would be to reset the preferences.
    The file is called AIPrefs and is located under 'Documents and Settings/User/Application Data/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings'. It is a hidden file. Delete it with Illustrator closed and when you launch the program again the file will be rebuilt.
    May be it is also sounds like you need more memory for your computer. If you can navigate to your computer's memory controls, and allow your operating system to use a portion of your hard disk drive (HDD) as RAM (maybe 2Gb or so) it may solve your issue.
    How is about: http://www.filerepairforum.com/forum/adobe/adobe-aa/illustrator/383-%E2%80%8Bcorrupted-fon ts-in-illustrator-file-urgent-help-need – resource has non-commercial specialty
    Third party software Illustrator Repair Kit also must be good solution

  • Using Illustrator CS6, how to preserve drawn colors when Save For Web to PNG?

    Using Illustrator CS6 on Mac OSX 10.9.1:
    step 1. I open a new file for Web profile.
    step 2. I verify that File > Document Color Mode is RGB.
    step 3. I draw a square and set it's color to 0,103,197 (decimal).
    step 4. I click File > Save For Web
    step 5. In the popup that opens, I set to PNG-24, and verify the option Convert To sRGB is not selected.
    step 6. Using the Mac's DigitalColorMeter, I observe the color is 0,109,191 in the Save For Web popup. If I save it, then open the saved PNG file, it's color is also 0,109,191.
    How to do this so the colors don't change?
    step 7. I close Save For Web popup.
    step 8. I verify Edit > Color Settings for Working Spaces is set to Monitor RGB, and that the Color Management Policies for RGB is off.
    step 9. I verify Edit > Assign Profile is set to Don't Color Manage This Document.
    step 10. I verify View > Proof Colors is off.
    Can anyone provide a set of Illustrator CS6 settings that let me save a PNG image with the same colors it's drawn in so I can use that PNG image in a website?
    I must be missing something obvious, because anyone working in web design must do this day in and day out, please let me know what procedure people follow to achieve this.
    UPDATE:
    Using the above procedure DOES preserve the colors when embedding the PNG image in a webpage viewed in Firefox and Chome, but NOT for Safari. Also, the colors are not preserved in Mac's Preview software, as well as Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac.
    I'm pretty new to all this. Hoping someone can provide some perspective on what typical procedure people use for web development when working with colors in Illustrator CS6.

  • Problem with BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1 using JCo on IDES

    sorry, wrong board - i opened a new post
    Problem with BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1 using JCo on IDES
    Hello everyone,
    we are working on a student project and would like to create customers (debtors) in an SAP IDES system.
    Using the ref-customer to copy from, and some personal-data below, we get the error message
    'Internal error: External no.assignment for reference customer/customer'
    We also tried with BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETINTNUMBER, and ACCOUNTGROUP ZINT (New Internet Customer, others won't work?). But CREATEFROMDATA1 takes no CustomerNo created this way, nor it wants to create one 'internal'?
    Any suggestions? Thanks a lot for your help,

    Hello Brian,
    Thanks for your pointer. Actually The customer's reference number i was providing in the PI_COPYREFERENCE structure was a sold-to party customer and it uses external customer number assignment. When i used "New Internet Customer" (that doesnt use external assignment by default) as customer's account group, the customer was created successfully and assigned customer number was returned.
    I want to ask now how could we give a customer number in the BAPI as i am unable to find any such column in any of the tables. (Customer number is an "out" parameter so it can only return the number of created customer). Secondly, how to chnage the external assignment property of a particular account group (like sold-to party). i.e, how could we change the account group configurations through SAP GUI??

  • How to insert a mailto: tag using Illustrator CS6?

    I am creating an online ad and need to insert a mailto: tag. What is the best way to do this using Illustrator CS6? The final needs to be delivered as a png file.

    Hi Larry, yea I looked into the capability of the PNG file format and realize that this was going to be an issue.
    I was really hoping that someone knew a workaround using slices or exporting the file a certain way. Yet another issue Adobe should address considering the trend towards online media.
