CS2 - Where is the Gradient?

I was emailed this pdf logo by a client. I placed it into CS2 and flattened transparency.
In the logo, there is a white circular gradient that is visible; yet it doesnt show up on any of the layers and cannot be selected. When I copy and paste the logo, the gradient disappears. When I move the logo, the gradient stays in the same spot.
How can I copy paste and resize this logo and include the gradient?
Thanks,
J

We cannot see the file because hte attachment is queued. Attachments are basically a waste of time. By the time the attachment passes through the queue, your post has dropped low in the list and people are ignoring it. Post the file elsewhere and add a link in a new post.
I've had this happen. Often I'll see this when I open the file...
Later, the gradient looks like this in the Layers panel...
I haven't bothered to look into it further, so I suspect a more thorough explanation will come from one of the pros. But my guess is that Illustrator encoded the gradient in a way that the PDF format understands but does not translate back into a gradient when opened in Illustrator. PDFs are not meant to be opened and edited, so anything you get that you can work with is gravy. You'll just have to recreate the gradient.

Where is the gradient tool?

Hi,
Where is the gradient tool in Flash CS4? Please reply.
Thanks.

Hi,
There is no gradient tool in Flash but there exist a Gradient Transform Tool (which is inside the Free Transform Tool, pls click and hold on this tool to view the Gradient Transform Tool) that helps you to modify/transform the gradient applied.
However you can apply a predefined/custom gradient from COLOR panel and saved gradients from SWATCHES panel. To Define a gradient from COLOR panel, you can choose Linear or Radial from Type drop down and you can adjust the gradient on the bottom of the panel using gradient sliders and color stops.
Thanks!

Where are the Gradient color presets in CS6?

Hi,
I've gone from CS4 to CS6 and when using the Gradient tool, there used to be a properties box that you could open with a whole list of preset color gradients to choose from, i used to use the 'Black - White' one all the time, which kinda blurred the edges, made a transparent gradient and allowed, for want of a better word, montages to be created easily, but now this function seems to have gone. Is it hiding somewhere that I don't know about? Or alternatively, can someone advise me on how to get the same effect that the Black White Preset used to give me?
Thanks a lot
Jules

Yeah, those gradients are gone in CS6. On the one hand, most of them were pretty cheesy; on the other hand, it's a bit surprising they took away those presets but still didn't offer users a simple way to save gradients.
One way that you can save gradients is as Styles. As an experiment, I actually did this one day for the classic Fireworks gradients. Once created, styles can be saved as a library, where you can call on them from within any FW document.
Another way to quickly create a black and white gradient is by setting the fill and/or stroke colors, which are the basis of gradients. You can reset the default fill and stroke colors within the Tools panel. However, this can be tricky, at times, depending on what objects are selected and what type of fill they already have; it can be easy to accidentally apply a stroke to an object this way. Alternatively, if Stroke is set to None, then setting Fill to Black will result in a black and white gradient when you switch to a gradient Fill type.

Where is the gradient tool in Edge Animate 1.5 on a Mac?

I've watched the tutorials and videos but it simply doesn't appear in my color palette where it does within the videos. Could someone please help me?

Hi, beeftastic-
There are two color pickers - one is for solids and the other is for gradients. Here's a screenshot of the properties panel with the gradient picker icon highlighted.
Hope that helps!

Where is the gradient editor in Flash CS4?

Hi,
I'm on an intel iMac, and trying to make the switch from Flash CS3 to CS4. I have done several searches for this topic and to no help thus far.
I'm familiar with the gradient editor in CS3 but I can't seem to find it in CS4. I have found the Color Editor which has a few basic, preset radial gradients along the bottom but that's all.
I've searched the tool pallete as well. I appreciate any help and apologize if this is a dumb question. It's early and I'm tired.
Many Thanks, Frank B.

Window> Color
Change the type to a gradient and then you can edit. It's pretty much the same as CS3, so perhaps I'm missing something in the question..

Where is the Enterprise Manager in Oracle 8.1.5

Hi,
After installing Oracle 8i (8.1.5), I can't find the
Oracle Enterprise Manager. Where is it? In Oracle 8.0.5 on
NT, you can access it from the START button. In the Oracle 8.1.5
documentation, it talks about the Microsoft Management Console
where you can access the Database Administration Assistant.
When I select the database administration assistant menu
from the Start button menu, nothing happens. Do I need to
have Oracle 8.1.5 installed on an NT Server?
TIA,
Phil

Deleting unused swatches change the gradient

Hi All,
I have tried this Javascript to remove unused swatches in a document (Indesign CS4). It did remove all the unused swatches but it changed the used gradient color into black color and still has the gradient property but couldn't change any color values for that particular gradient after running the script.
#target indesign
var myIndesignDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myUnusedSwatches = myIndesignDoc.unusedSwatches;
for (var j=myIndesignDoc.unusedSwatches.length; j > 0; j--)
myIndesignDoc.unusedSwatches[j-1].remove();
Please advise me where I did wrong and also please suggest the right solution for this.

Hi Friends
Use this script it will help ful.
# target "Deleting unused swatches change the gradient"
var myIndesignDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myUnusedSwatches = myIndesignDoc.unusedSwatches;
for (var s = myUnusedSwatches.length-1; s >= 0; s--) {
var mySwatch = myIndesignDoc.unusedSwatches[s];
var name = mySwatch.name;
// alert (name);
if (name != ""){
mySwatch.remove();

To match the angle of the gradient to the path?

Hello everybody!
I checked a little bit the other posts and I saw one from Steve similar but I think my question is a little different:
If you consider this example on the picture, is it possible that the gradient automatically comes to the same angle of the path?
(instead of searching degree per degree which angle more or less fits..)
I use sometimes the measure tool but u know how it is, it doesnt match really good..
Thanks,
Thomas

You can do it exactly and without guesswork.
Here's one way:
Direct select and copy one long side of the shpe you want to fill with a gradient.
Paste in Front (Cmd+F on a Mac).
Double-click on the Rotate tool (R) and enter 90°.
Make a guide of your path (Cmd+5). This new guide is the direction of your gradient.
With Smart Guides turned on, use the Gradient tool (G) to drag the gradient to fit the width of the shape.
Here's another way:
Rotate your shape until it is vertical. Colour it pink-or-something.
Then fill it with the gradient from a swatch and rotate it back to where it was.
You can also make "steel bars" with a blend between two strokes, a dark thick one behind and a light thin one in front.
But that's another story. :-)

Where are my gradient presets in photoshop cc?

This is what comes up. Where are my presets? do I need to re-download the program? I had the trial version and just payed for my CC membership so do i need to do something to get the full version?

The Gradient menu in the tool options bar for Shapes doesn't have a list of the installed gradient presets.
You can use either the Load Gradients or Replace Gradients and then in the Windows Explorer dialog navigate to
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Presets\Gradients

Where is the Mac downloadable version of Adobe Acrobat 7 Pro that doesn't require activation

I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium, it cost more than €2,000. When I recently tried to re-install it due to having to reformat my hard drive I could no longer activate it over the phone or online.
When I rang the help number it directed me to the downloadable versions that don't require activation. Great! UNTIL I realise Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional is only available for Windows as a download.
Where is the download for the Mac Version as it not included in the bundle either. This is extremely urgent. Thank you in advance.

To maswatson
The answer to your question of March 12, 2015 – "Where is the Mac downloadable version of Adobe Acrobat 7 Pro that doesn't require activation[?]" – is … nowhere. That doesn't mean it's not available to you, however. I have successfully installed several CS2 programs and Acrobat 7, on two computers.
The hard drive on my MacBook Air crashed recently. After a new drive was installed I had to reload various programs, including CS2 Premium. I used the original disks and the serial number on the package.
When I tried to open InDesign, however, I got an "Activate Using the Internet" message which led to an "Activation Server Unavailable" message that gave me three options, the last of which was "Click the Phone Activation button to activate the product over the phone." I called the toll-fee number and heard the following recorded message: "We no longer support activation issues over the phone."
So I searched the Web, figuring that others had encountered and solved this problem. Eventually, I found "Creative Suite Help / Download Acrobat 7 and OS2 Products" at https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs2-product-downloads.html#.
I also found "How to Fix Adobe’s “Licensing for this product has stopped working” Error by Aaron Nelsen at http://hijinksinc.com/2010/01/20/how-to-fix-adobes-licensing-for-this-product-has-stopped- working-error/. He writes "… you MUST delete adobe_00080000_tsf.data and adobe_00080000_event.log" which is found in /Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/FLEXnet. So I did that.
I also deleted Illustrator CS2, InDesign CS2, and Photoshop CS2 from my Applications folder. I did not delete Acrobat 7 or GoLive.
After clicking on "English" at https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs2-product-downloads.html#, I downloaded Illustrator CS2 for Mac, InDesign CS2 for Mac, and Photoshop CS2 for Mac. I was not able to download Acrobat 7 because the only option is for Windows. As you know, there is no download for Mac.
Illustrator CS2, InDesign CS2, and Photoshop CS2 all opened without any problems. When I tried to open GoLive, I got the same "Activate Using the Internet" message I got at the outset, when I tried to open InDesign. I proceeded, and now have a 30-day trial. The same limitation has been placed on Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop, because I downloaded them, whereas GoLive was installed from the CS2 disks.
Next, I opened Acrobat 7.0 Professional – the one installed from the original CS2 disks. It works fine.
BOTTOM LINE: If you want Acrobat 7.0 Professional, install Creative Suite using original CS2 disks, then delete the other CS2 programs from those disks. If you want Illustrator CS2, InDesign CS2, Photoshop CS2, and others, download them from https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs2-product-downloads.html#.
I am hoping this explanation will help you. I feel great sympathy for you because the "answers" you received have been obtuse and clearly less than helpful. (I requested a "Yes," "No," or "Don't know" answer to a very straightforward question, but didn't get it.)
My experience tells me that the answer to your question "Where is the Mac downloadable version of Adobe Acrobat 7 Pro that doesn't require activation[?]" – is … nowhere, but you don't need to download it. It's on the original disks and it does not require activation. That's why Adobe did not included it with the Windows version at https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs2-product-downloads.html#.
I hope this answers your question, solves your problem, and ends your frustration.

Problems using the Gradient in Camera Raw

Hi everybody,
Just yesterday afternoon I new problem developed using the gradient tool in Camera Raw, unitl it was working just fine. When working on an image when I click on the gradient tool ta pop-up window appears that reads "Unable to create local adjustment. All the local adjustment controls are set to have no effect on the image"
I've looked in the preferences panels but can't find anything that relates to this issue. Any ideas on where the problem might be? I'm using Suite CS5.5 on a Mac Mini.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Kind regards,
Mark

Thanks Jeffrey for your help.

Tools/Menu Items in Photoshop 6 ("Where is the * Tool now?")

So, you've been working with Photoshop 5.0 or 5.5 and you are used to seeing the tools laid out before you in a certain way. Now you install Photoshop 6.0 and your entire interface is messed up. Where IS everything??
Once you get into using Photoshop 6.0, you'll find that it's not really messed up. The most frequently used items are laid out for easier and quicker access.
Below is a list of some of the most frequently (and not so frequently) asked questions concerning the location of your favorite tools.

>
TOOLBOX TOOLS
Crop Tool
It's graduated from the Rectangular Marquee pop out menu to it's own button-third one down on the left. Whoohoo!
Gradient tool
It's no longer hiding behind the Eyedropper Tool. It has its own button, which hides the Paint Bucket tool.
Line Tool
It's now listed behind the Custom Shape Tool. You can access this by holding down on the Custom Shape Tool Button until the Line Tool pops out.
Liquify
Under the Image Menu.
Measure Tool
It's in the Eyedropper Tool flyout. You can access this by clicking and holding down on the Eyedropper Tool until the Measure Tool appears.
Paint Bucket
It's in the Gradient Tool flyout. You can access this by clicking and holding down on the Gradient Tool until the Paint Bucket Tool appears.
Pencil Tool
It's in the Brush Tool flyout. You can access this by clicking and holding down on the Brush Tool until the Pencil Tool appears.
Rubber Stamp
It's there. It's been renamed the "Clone Stamp".
Type Masks
They are now a part of the Options Bar.

Press and hold down on the Gradient Tool (just below the Eraser Tool) and it will pop up for you to select.
You can also use G as the shortcut key and Shift + G to switch to it.

HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 551dn - where did the drivers go?

I go to the download page to download the drivers for this 551dn. I download all windows 7, 8, 8.1, 2008, 2012, so that i can put them on my print server. I downloaded them from here..

HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 color M551 Printer Series PCL6 Print Driver (no Installer) 61.130.04.12834
24 Sep 2014 21.3
I get the file downloaded (LJEnt-color-M551-Drv-no-installer_12297.exe), i run it, get the security warning and Run. the file extracts - then POOF, the installer is gone.
where did the files go? They aren't on the root of the C: drive, a folder/files were not created on my desktop, no files or folder created in my downloads folder.
I was never asked for a file save location.... ??? really? is this this basic stuff?
Where are the files? this $$$ printer is a brick until i get drivers!
Thanks!
Jason
UPDATE- I FOUND THE FILES!!
First of all, HP... i'm not impressed.
All the files for all the drivers are in a series of temp folders...
C:\Users\-myusername-\AppData\Local\Temp\3\7zS4A73
really?
hope this helps someone.

There is no change to this problem after 6 months since the last post. Put simply, and as stated in the previous posts, there is no way to scan a document and receive the image on your PC. If you are working with graphics for any length of time or want to create an image for inclusion as an image in a document or web page using this piece of equipment will not allow you to do so.
Great shame as every other function works well - it cannot be beyond the wit of HP to include a Windows application that enables you to scan an image, receive it in the software you are using at the time (e.g. Outlook, Word, Photoshop...) and use it in your work.
HP Printers several years older than this £1000+ Enterprise printer were able to do this simple job and have done so for a great many years. Just being able to use Microsoft's Fax and Scan would be start.
