Cant use colours in AI free version.stroke and fill options are not active either

cant use colours in AI free version.stroke and fill options are not active either

In the Trial version of Illustrator try this:
In the top right of your screen, choose 'Essentials' from the workspace menu.
Then from the same menu, choose Reset Essentials.
Next, click the Selection tool in the Tools panel (strip on the left side of your screen, it is the black pointer at the top).
Click on the object you want to change the stroke and fill colour for. Does it display with little handles around it (this is called bounding box)? E.g. can you tell it is selected?
You should see the Stroke and Fill options in the Control panel (top horizontal strip above your document), if the object you've selected is a path. But if for instance you selected as a placed photo, you won't see the Stroke and Fill options.
If possible take a screenshot of what you are trying to do, and we can be of more help hopefully.

    There is no free version of CS2.  There is only a special version of CS2 available for people who purchased it and need to reinstall it.

  • Can we use Adobe Creative Suite (student version) CS4 and CS5 for commercial usage in Australia?

    Can we use Adobe Creative Suite (student version) CS4 and CS5 for commercial usage in Australia?
    Can we use for commercial purposes while we are studying?
    How about after we graduate?
    Thank you.

    Check your regional S&T pages for specifics. Generally commercial usage is allowed during school and after graduating, but in some regions extra restrictions may apply if e.g. your software is subsidized by your government or the license owned by the school and you just "loaned" it.

    Make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop.
    Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available.
    Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    If there's sufficient disk space, the startup disk may need repairing.
    Launch Disk Utility located in /Applications/Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    You will need your install disc if the startup disk needs repairing.

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    and select the Library that you moved.  That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

  • Search Suggestions and Past Searches are not prolific as it is used to be.

    In the latest version of Firefox, the search suggestions and the search history are only a few items. There used to be a scroll bar and also a separator to distinguish between our past searches and google search suggestions. There seems to be a change in the search box. Is this permanent - and any nice search box or a toolbar to replace it?

    Hi - Yes, that returned the old search bar, thank you. But when I enter a keyword again, the past search tips and keyword suggestions are not as much as it used to be - there is no scroll bar and a few keywords (around 10). Is there any reason for this? I guess this is irreversible as that changed in the new version of the Firefox?

  • Suggestion: preview of Stroke and Fill commands

    Instead of having to click OK to see the result then, if not happy, having to backtrack and try a variation any number of times, could we see the document updating as we change parameters in the dialogues of Stroke and Fill commands, please? This could be an option that the user can disable, of course.
    Ps is the leading app of its kind but in some ways it seems to be clinging onto the early 1990s.

    I confused myself earlier regarding the different stroke commands. Yesterday, I had been using "Edit > Stroke" and becoming frustrated with not seeing the result until after clicking OK, then having to repeat the process several times until the result looked good by trial and error. (Yes, I know that Layer Styles give a real-time preview when adjusting stroke, but in this particular case, Edit > Stroke was what I wanted to use.) Then I was working on another image and using "Stroke Path..." to apply a brush. The result wasn't quite right, so I had to backtrack, tweak the brush, apply again, and iterate the process numerous times.
    I realise that a real-time preview of "Stroke Path..." would not help when the brush needs adjusted. It would be wonderful if the brush or other tool could be adjusted while the "Stroke Path..." dialogue is open, and have a real-time preview. So, my wish is best generalised to one of real-time preview of most manipulations that the user can make in most dialogues, and for all dialogues which do not absolutely need to be modal to be become non-modal. Changing brush controls while the "Stroke Path..." dialogue is open and seeing the displayed image updating in real time is just one special case of the general principle.
    Our modern hardware easily supports such aids to creativity.

  • Can dld newer versions of Frfx but they are not getting installed?

    I am able to dld newer versions of firefox but they are not getting installed ... Currently 'about firefox' shows my version to be 27.0.1 but when I go into the troubleshooting option it shows I have version 28.0 and 29.0 in my update history. Please advise. Thanks

    Hi Irishman,
    Have a go at the suggestions that follow and then post back with how you get on.
    Obviously I have seen your post, and sorry you are having problems. Unfortunately this is likely to be because you did not take enough care on the Internet. It is all too easy to go to bad websites and pick up malware that once downloaded does things you may not like or expect.
    <u>Explanation </u><br />
    '''This is not anything to do with Mozilla Firefox''', other than it is the browser in use. Such software is not bundled with or downloaded with Firefox installs or upgrades. <br /> ( You may get an option of thumbnails in otherwise blank spaces in newtabs in a version of Firefox later this year but that is a different subject)
    Finding such adware may be problematic, after all it is either downright malware which will try its best to evade being found and uninstalled, or it is adware that a minority of people actually like and deliberately download and install, usually after clicking small print saying this will happen.
    <u>Suggestions to try to Uninstall or Remove Adware</u>
    First thing to try, check which search engine is selected ? <br /> Because this is so simple and could have an effect it is worth checking what Search engine is selected for the Firefox Searchbar. You may have changed that, or software may have,and that will affect other searches including those from the address bar and the start page. All you need to do is click the little downward pointing arrowhead in the search bar and check what is in use and what is available. In most countries Firefox uses Google by default.
    Check the shortcut Icons - has an address been added ? <br> Right click the icon on the desktop used to start Firefox has an address been tacked on to the end of that. If something has changed that Firefox goes to that address as it starts up. For comparison use a run command directly. In Windows & with Firefox not already open Use keyboard shortcut Winkey+Run then when you get the run option key in ''firefox.exe'' & hit return. That will run Firefox without any extra instruction.
    Adware removal<br />
    I you have got adware, or unwanted software especially if it also affects other browsers (So check the use of Internet Explorer) look for anything unexpected installed in the Windows OS, use the Windows Control Panel. especially if only Firefox is affected check what is installed as extensions and plugins by using the addons manager.
    * USE '''New button -> Addons ''' <br /> Or navigate to ''about:addons'' ,by keying that into the addressbar
    * Also see
    ** [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]
    **And this slightly dated article [[What to do when searches take you to the wrong search website]]
    I will make a follow on post detailing malware removal steps. Note it is important to use up to date and multiple tools, not just your one favourite. No single tool detects everything. This one is particularly useful with adware problems

  • The new track and mask features are not showing on my version of premiere cc. It says it's uptodate.

    The new track and mask features are not showing on my version of premiere cc. It says it's uptodate.

    Please double-check the exact version as displayed in the About box. The new release is an entirely separate version referred to CC 2014.0; it is not merely an update to CC7. That means that if you launch CC7.2.2 and go Help>Updates, it will report that the program is up to date.
    If you're on CC7.2.2, then the easiest way to install CC2014.0 is to launch the Creative Cloud app and scroll down the Apps tab looking for "Premiere Pro CC (2014)."
    Note that once CC2014 is installed, you will need to use a new app icon to launch it; the old icon will continue to launch CC7.
