Brush has Grey Outer Edge on Black Background

Hey,
I'm trying to use a smoke brush in Illustrator CS5 and colour it blue. However, when I place a black square at the back of the image as a background, the brush appears to have a grey outer edge. I have tried other brushes as well and some produce the same results.
I am wondering if this may be a setting that I'm unaware of or something else.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Might be two antialiased edges stacked on top of each other.
If you turn off "Antialias Artwork" in the prefs (CRTL+K, first menu), does it go away?
When you give an elipse two fills - one black and one white on top if it, then put the double-filled object on top of white you'll see a grey fringe around the edges (if AA is tirned on in the prefs).

  • My ipad2 safari is not responding and has greyed out

    safari on my ipad2 is not responding and has greyed out... is there a way i can sort it out ?

    If you follow Bob's instructions.. allow it to cool down.. maybe leave it off overnight.. if the disk fails to start when you power on.. or listen carefully and hear if the disk is failing to spin up properly then you have either dead drive or dead supply.
    Is it in warranty or applecare, let apple replace it?
    If it is out of applecare even, open it and replace the disk.
    How old is the TC? What model from the rubber mat A1xxx? What size disk?
    Certain drives are becoming unreliable.. The WD black in Gen2, The Samsung Spinpoint in Gen3 and WD green in Gen3 and Gen4 are none of them great drives.
    Out of warranty do the job yourself.. there is plenty of stuff about drive upgrades for the TC.
    Excellent instructions here.

    wi-fi button on 4S has greyed out and cant turn on wi-fi , any suggestions please ?

    First try a simple reset by holding down the home and power button for 15 to 30 seconds until you see the silver apple, then let the device start normally. If issues still persist, you will need to restore and update the iPhone from iTunes on your pc or mac. If after the restore still grey your device may need service or replacement.

  • TS1559 iPhone 4S Wi-Fi button has greyed out

    iPhone 4S wifi button has greyed out, though I did resolved it through Restore from backup button in iTunes, but after upgrade to iOS 7.1 it has again become greyed out after 2 days of upgrade.
    And I tried even restore with Firmware update, even this has not resolved. Guys any suggestion how to fix this.
    Apple please help resolve this issue, as this is happening with me again, I had the same problem with my iPhone 3G and even at Apple store they couldnt resolve this. (This was 3 years back) and now again I am facing the issue with my iPhone 4S.

    You should also ask this in the iPad forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • My iphone 4S 6.1.3 WI-FI has greyed out?

    Played on the phone to find the wi-fi wasnt connected so i [did what most normal people would do] turned the phone off and on again. Saw it has greyed out so googled it. Came across the Apple advice thingy which said i should back it up and restore it. so i did.
    It worked for about 10mins then it went again. And now its greyed out. Had the phone for about 1 year 4months.. from new!  Now everyone is saying i should go to my nearest apple store so they can charge me loads of money to fix a phone which SHOULDNT have this problem!
    Is there no other way to fix it?
    PS. Bluetooth still works great?!?

    i restored it but instead of installing the backed up stuff straight away. i did it manually and it seems to be working now. Only problem is adding alll the contact singlely again.
    Hope that makes sense.
    hope it helps other people!
    PEACE OUT.

  • Flare in a Grey color with the black background

    Hi:
    I just need to fix this problem and can't find a solution.
    Why I'm getting a grey Flare when I open it with a black background, but it's in color when I open it in a white background?
    I know that flare works better with a black background, but for any reason it looks grey and it's hard to create effects.
    Can anybody help me? please. I'll appreciate it.
    Thanks
    - Pepe

    This is very exciting you are the third person to post a qquestion about the flare tool since I can remenber and I can remember before the falre tool existed.
    You need to have the flare effect behind an object to get the full impact so you would put it behind a black object or a colored object. If you place it on a white back ground you only se the actual construction of the device before it has the effect which has to be applied to an object.
    So how do you get a white object to show the effect since does not work with a white object?
    Interesting that you asked you apply it say to a black object instead. You say what? that is the opposite of what i want?
    Abraccadabra!
    you open it with Photshop as a Smart Object that keeps it a live ai file which can be update and the changes will be reflected in the photoshop file.
    You then go to layers>Adjustments>invert and that will make the color object white instead of black but will also ivert the colors of the flare
    but you can adjust those colors using Hue Saturation as an adjust manet layer
    then save as a psd file and place it in Illustrator as linked files, you will be able to adjust the smart object in ai save it then save the psd file and it will updated in the new illustrator file.
    Created in AI
    Placed in Photoshop as a smart object and given a Invert adjustment layer
    then I worked on the color with Hue Saturation adjustment layer you can acheive a lot more than I tried that way.

  • Print quality of grey text on rich black background

    I've been working on various print materials that require me to use a lot of grey text at various shades set on a black background. My understanding is that this can easily look terrible due to the misregrestation of the four colors. Here's an example of the kind of text I'm working with:
    This is how I have things set up right now:
    Rich Black Swatch: C70 M50 Y30 K100
    All text uses the same swatch at various tints in InDesign (15% tint for headlines, 25% tint for body text)
    Body text size is 8 pt/10.8 pt, headlines are 14 pt
    These are being printed on an offset press and the printer isn't local, so we don't get proofs. Is there are better way to set this up or is this the best I can hope for? Thanks for any help!

    I wonder what type of paper are you planning on using for these pages?  Your total ink amount is 250.  What you should be concerned about is dot gain and ink spread.  Oh, nice rich Black on screen isn't so nice on press for a number of reasons.  Have you thought about using a Spot Black? Why use process if all you have is Black?  Unless, ofcourse, you have other elements that use process colors.  You have to know the press and the paper before you can make a judgement about the effectiveness of rich Black with screen tinted variants.  You could bite the bullet and let the file fly.  Or, you could use just Black with screen tint variants to lesson problems on press and with readibility.  No proofs?  No press check either?
