Stroke width not resizing properly

I have been using Photoshop Elements for many years now (curently have version 5) and decided to download a trial of Illustrator. I have never worked with vectors before, but I'm in love with this program. I can finally draw like I always wanted to without all the tedious cleanup work!
The only thing that's stumping me is how to resize an image without all of the outlines not sizing up with the rest of the image. In the picture below on the left is the original image and the right is after it has been resized. All of the black outlines are out of proportion on the resized one. His legs and arms are too small, his freckles have shrank, etc.
Is there a way to have it retain the proper proportions when resizing, or is it nessasairy to change them all by hand after it has been resized?

Thanks, Larry. On Mac and Win, double-clicking on the scale tool should also get you that dialog and the checkbox.

Importing svg's stroke-width not scaled up

I am trying to import an svg in the illustrator, and it has stroke-width of 30px but its wasn't scaled up, its showing 1px of the stroke-width always, In preferences i have checked the option ' scale and transform the stroke-width ' and i have changed all the units into pixels. Still i am not getting that.
Thanks.

Stroke width not correct

Hello.
I am laying out a catalog with indesign and I am running into a problem. I am trying to add a 1pt stroke to all of my images, and I notice that the stroke width is not consistent. Some images appear to have more of a 4pt stroke while others appear to have 1pt. They are all set to 1pt, but this setting does not seem to work on some images.
What is going on? or what am I doing wrong?

The stoke is acquiring the scaling of the image frame.
Select each image frame and then select Redefine Scaling as 100% from the Transform Panel menu.
You may need to reset the stroke weight after that, too.

Color Swatches in Toolbar for Fill and Stroke are not working properly.

The color swatches in toolbar for fill and stroke are not functioning as they should. When I select an object on the artboard, the swatches display fine in the toolbar for what they should be. However, when I double-click on those swatches from within the toolbar to modify the color, the color which comes up is #000000 instead of the actual color it should be.
I am using 16.2.1 (cloud) for Mac OS 10.8.2
I've submitted a bug report, but want to know if anyone else has had this issue and what they did to resolve the issue.
Also, the eyedropper tool is buggy and occasionally places the #000000 into an object instead of the characteristics the eyedropper is selecting. I don't have any hidden layers or weird groupings, it just randomly decides when it is going to work or not.
I've never had these issues on previous versions of illustrator and have been proficient in all versions since 2007.

Double click the eyedropper, and turn on appearance, is off by default.
For your #000000 color problem that also likely is related to appearance setting. You may have for example have some with #000000 at the character level, and another color at the type level.

Finder Window Size Issues (not resizing properly)

everytime I open a window in the finder it opens and I drag to resize and then close. I reopen the folder and its size is wrong not what I just resized to. This happens on every finder window not opening how I resized it. Any clues?

This has been pet peeve of mine for years. Apple invented windows, but it seems to be the only developer which is incapable of programming the operation of this basic interface correctly. Even Microsoft Windoze got this right when they stole the concept. When you hit the resize button in a Microsoft application the window does the same thing - every time, while every Macintosh application acts differently when you click the green button...very annoying, to say the least.

SkinableContainer not resizing properly

I have a SkinableContainer with a few buttons. Initially one of the buttons is hidden and not included into Layout.When it becomes visible the container is getting wider but not wide enough.
What would a generic way be of adjusting the width?
Thanks

Can you provide a simple sample application that demonstrates this?

Rectangle fill not resizing properly

So I've built this website that is a series of rectangles scrolling over each other - Home. The first rectangle contains an image fill. The fitting is "Scale To Fill" and the position is top center. My issue is that when I view the website in a browser and resize the browser window vertically, the image resizes with it. This should no be happening. The image should only resize when the shape of the rectangle changes, not the shape of the browser window. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

More info: To achieve my scrolling fx I've got scroll motion activated on the fill of the rectangle with all values set to 0. My issue appears to be related to this. When I turn off the scroll motion my issue goes away.

Images not resizing properly when relinking/updating

Hi all,
I'm currently using InDesign CS on OS10.5.5
Until last week, I was using CS on OS10.4.?
Can anyone tell me if the reason my images no longer update/relink to the correct size in InDesign is an issue with running cronky old CS on Leopard?
I know this feature is an option in CS3 or later but I can find no reference to it for earlier versions and I'm wondering how come it did this in the first place. I never used to have to manually enlarge images back to 100% in InDesign after resizing them (in Photoshop).
I always resize my images down to the size they appear on the page for two reasons: 1) To prevent problems in PDF distilling and 2) To keep archive space usage down.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
Thanks.

What is the slide quality? Default setting is Low (8-bit), depending on your JPEG-image quality this may be too low. Try to change to High or Optimized and see if this is better.

Video Not Resizing Properly on Share

I have a 720p (1280 by 720) video that I'm adding a watermark too. I have the entire thing setup, but after I use the Share function to create a 720p HD MPEG, the video shows up with letterboxing all around it.
Why is the video being shrunk down (scale wise) on output and not perfectly fitting the new 720p video?
Thanks
Ryan

What preset have you selected for your Premiere Elements project, Ryan?
In version 8, there is a setting for 1280x720 video. As I say in the Basic Training for Premiere Elements tutorials at Premiere Elements support site Muvipix.com, your project settings must match your source footage.
If your project preset matches your source footage, you should get 16:9 output using one of the standard Share presets.
But not all footage works successfully in Premiere Elements. Video from still cameras and from pocket camcorders, per the FAQs to the right of this forum, often don't interpret correctly.

Images attached do not resize properly to S,M,L

On my IMac, with Snow Leopard, when I attempt to attach a jpeg file (for instance, a 1.6 MB file), the following sizes are what I get:
S - 38 KB, M - 58 KB, L - 58 KB, Actual - 2.0 MB (as you can see, NO difference in size between the Medium and Large files - and both are pretty small)
On my MacBook, with Leopard, attaching images and sizing seems to work fine. Here are the resulting sizes when I attached the exact same file as above:
S - 131 KB, M - 446 KB, L - 1.5 MB, and Actual - 2.0 MB
Any suggestions? Thank you

hi,
i think images needs to be in rgb mode, so you can view it correctly in browsers or in email apps.

Images in button not shown properly

I have imported a quicktime file which was exported from FCP. The final cut portion is strictly jpeg files, no movies. I have made chapter markers in FCP. So in DVD Studio Pro, I created a button and chapter index, then selected a template. When I go to the menu(s) with chapters, the chapters are all correct. However, the photos in the button are not resized properly. Most of the heads are cut off. I have the button set with motion but turned it off and still photos not correct. How can I make DVD Studio Pro resize the photos properly? I right click the chapter button (it is not a drop zone), the option for align objects and distribute objects is not available. I am unable to click on it, thinking that is what I need to change. Any suggestions in how to get the photos to show completely in the button and not be cut off? I am very knew at this, only my second project, so please explain in detail.
Thanks!

Datagrid within Datagrid - Rows not resizing to fit content

Hi,
I have a datagrid with a custom item renderer that renders another data grid... so one column will render datagrids within the outer datagrid. The problem is that the row does not size to fit the inner datagrid. I can't set the rowHeight on the outer datagrid because the inner datagrids have dynamic data and i don't know how many rows they will have. Also, after the datagrid is rendered, more rows may be added to any number of inner datagrids at a later time... and I need the rows holding them to resize accordingly. Setting variableRowHeight=true on the outer grid doesn't seem to help either.
Any ideas on how to do this?
Thanks!

Hi, Alex, thanks for the info. It turns out, I was wrong. The way it looked made me think it was a row-resizing problem, but it turns out that the rows were resizing fine... it was the outer datagrid itself that was not resizing properly. Apparently it has to do with the combination of variableRowHeight and rowCount. The jira issue may look familiar to you.
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-13507
Anyway, I got this from the jira comments and works pretty good...
height="{theGrid.measureHeightOfItems(-1, theGrid.dataProvider.length + 1)}"
I also have to call similar code when the data provider of the inner grids add/remove items.
Thanks!

DataGrid column width is not set properly

Hi,
        In the below example I has called the OptimizeDataGrid method on Button Click event to resize the Column according to the data. First time of the button click event it called the function whereas the Datagrid Column width alone is not set properly.whereas on second time it is working properly.
For Eg : In the below statement the text value is coming as 55 and widthPadding is comes as 25. but the sum of these two value is not in the dg.columns[col].width.
dg.columns[col].width = text + widthPadding;
But the same is working on the second time of the Button click event. is any help me out to resovle this issue. Thanks in Advance.

With horizontalScrollPolicy="off" (the default), it is hard to control
column widths because the columns are sometimes overridden to make sure they
fit on the screen.
