CS5 Export to web images not anti-aliased

Never saw this in CS3. Don't see a preference in export to web to turn on anti alias. Any export to web out of AI has bitmapped edges.
I have to export to Photoshop first.
What am I missing?

Are you saying you have a need to use Photoshop or that, because of the lack of anti-aliasing, you are forced to go through Photoshop? If the former, then just open the Illustrator file in Photoshop. If the latter, then look at his in Illustrator’s Save for Web window…
Note: This is in Illustrator CS5. I think it’s just an Antialias check box in earlier versions.

Resized images are not anti-aliased

I'm creating an app with html + js + css + air, and I'm doing
something like this:
<img src="
http://somedomain.com/image.jpg"
/>
I find that if I set the image height/width in css that when
the image loads it displays in very poor quality, mainly it looks
like it's not anti-aliased. The images look fine when I don't set a
height or width, so the images look fine by themselves, and when
rendered at their original size. It's only when I try to resize it
that it looks bad.
Any help is greatly appreciated - many thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion zorglub76. Perhaps I could find a
solution resizing the image in actionscript, but then I'm stuck
with another problem, which is how to take an image I've
manipulated in AS3 and render it in the html img tag? I'm
dynamically pulling images from amazon, so I can't resize them
ahead of time.
As far as the css goes, I don't believe that's the problem.
When I take the same html + css and render it in chrome, firefox,
or safari the smaller image looks great. It's only a problem in
adobe air, and I believe it has to do with it not being
anti-aliased.

Photoshop CS4 Brushes not Anti Aliasing properly

I've just set up CS4 and my brushes are not anti aliasing properly. There are no soft edges on any of them. I'm able to get a pressure sensitive opacity change on the stroke but the edges are all pixelated.
Here is an image (this is a soft brush. notice none of the feathering/anti aliasing is there):

I've updated the newest gpu drivers for my Nvidia 8800 GTS.
I'm running XP SP3 with dual monitors. An Apple 30" and a Cintiq 21"
I've tried placing the main photoshop window on both monitors (one at a time) to test if that was causing it and i've had no luck.
All of the options in my GPU Enabled are currently unchecked (since they were giving me lag issues on my brush stroke when they were checked).
Any help (even linking me to something similar in this forum) is greatly appreciated.
Cheers-

Definitely not file dependent. I'll open a photo in sRGB 8bit, or create a new document with any settings from cmyk/rgb/bw 8/16 etc.
I'm wondering if it has something to do with my Nvidia Display Property utility. I use it to gamma up my secondary monitor (cintiq). Although disabling that utility didn't resolve it..
I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling tonight if no one is having similar problems. Maybe that will fix it.

Flash 8 - text in actionScript window is not anti-aliased

I just moved over to Flash 8 and the text in the actionscript
window is not anti-aliased like it is in 7. Is there a preference
setting somewhere that I haven't discovered yet?
thanks

I don't think so.

Reducing image sizes - not anti-aliasing

Hi guys,
I've had a search around and haven't found much on this specifically (it's also a difficult thing to search for) so I hope someone here could maybe shed some light.
I'm fairly new to using Flash but well versed in other adobe software.
I have this problem:
I'm tweening a symbol so that it reduces in size. It was a png image. It goes from being big to small. When it's small it becomes less anti-aliased (clear jagged edge, more visible and directly proportional to how much it has been reduced)
This is something unrelated to actual tweening - it's just become obvious in this situation. It also happens when simply resizing using transform tools.
Here are some screen shots:
Thoughts?
Sam

Hi Ned,
Cheers for the answer but it's actually made no difference. It acts the same.
In any case, this time I don't have the time to faff about so I'll just live trace it and use a vector.
Thanks anyway, I'll mark this as answered; someone else might find it helpful.

Export To Web feature not fully working under windows browsers

I have a real problem and I can't figure it out for the life of me. I have a .mov file. I used QuickTime Pro to "Export To Web", and selected desktop. It then gives me a nice, neat folder with all the files I need to upload to the web.
I uploaded the folder, and can view the movies fine using any browser on my Mac (firefox, safari, etc). I've not had any problems while on my Mac.
However, when I go to watch the same movies using Windows, using windows version of Safari, FireFox and Internet Explorer, sometimes the movies play, and sometimes I get a QuickTime logo with a questions mark, and I get a small error icon (yellow icon) at the bottom of my status bar.
If I refresh the page, the movie will play again.
Why could this be happening? I have all the code included within the HEAD tags as well as the QuickTime movie code that is created during the export. I don't know why it works under Mac but in Windows it gives problems.
Here is the link if anyone can look and see what the problem may be:
http://www.sacredstonehealing.com/DVD/00196727-DVD-001
The video is for my boss, and a couple people (who mostly use windows) have been complaining of the error. I was oblivious to it, as I never had the error using my Mac.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi Kyn- Yes, I got that same controller bar in the middle as well. Very strange. To answer your questions, for my Mac, I have "save movies in cache" checked, and 100MB cache. I don't know the settings for my Windows QuickTime.
I think I'm just going to end up using the export "Movie To QuickTime" and choose the "fast start" option. I've never had trouble with that for Windows. I will lose the nice "Click to Play" poster screen before the movie starts, but I can live with that.
I'll mess around with this a bit more and try different settings, but I'm gonna put up a new one using the "regular" "object", "embed" method code, and just use .mov. For the main poster, I can always insert an image at the front of the movie.
Thanks for your reply.

Need help! cannot export a .psd file without anti aliasing.

Just installed the new CC version of illustrator. I export a lot of .psd files from illustrator. I think that I have turned off all of the anti aliasing in illustrator, but I must have missed something. Please help!
Works fine when I export from illustrator CS6.

The Illustrator team is aware of this bug and will be fixing it in future updates

QT Pro 7 Export to web is not the same with Snow Leopard?

Before updating to Snow Leopard, I would use the "Export to Web" feature in Quicktime Pro 7. The desktop option would give me a small file size with a resolution of 853x496. Why does it now give me a much larger file size at 1280x720? This is slowing down my workflow, please advise.

Hi b,
Have you restarted yet?

CS5 export to transparent png - not working

I have tried every think I know to get a png optimized transparently though fireworks cs5. I have read prior forum post, and watched several tutorials indicating ways to do this and when i try they do not work.
I created the image in photoshop and exported it to a png file. Then i opened it in fireworks in an attempt to make the png much smaller. The image will be overlaying a patterned background on the web so needs to be totallly transparent. I've tried every combination of export option and still, when I put the image in my site there is a white background.
Ive tried png-8 with alpha transparency and changed the matte to nothing. The main window in fireworks never gets rid of the white background and when i export it's still white on my site.
I've tried png-32 with both alpha and index.
When i use the png exported from photoshop on my site it looks exactly how I want it, but the file size it too large so that's why Im putting it in fireworks but when i export it from there it's not transparent.
help!! - Kim

Sorry, i was not certain about your level...
You may be interested in knowing that another tool optimizes png files beyond what Fireworks can do - and I would avoid Photoshop's abysmal png export for production. As you are probably aware of, Photoshop's web export does not allow us to save an indexed png file with full transparency - something FW was always good at.
Try Color Quantizer: http://x128.ho.ua/color-quantizer.html
It allows for png files with full transparency to be saved with limited colour palettes exceeding 256 colours! With CQ you can optimize png files to the fullest, while still retaining an excellent visual quality, since you can optimize easily to a limited palette of, for example, 512 or 1024 (or a custom number of colours). Extremely useful.
It also optimizes the transparent areas, and will automatically remove any bitmap data from those areas (which are not visible).
And, even better, a simple quality mask brush tool assures you have maximum control over the inclusion of even tiny splotches of colour you wish to retain.
I have long left FW behind for my png optimization, because of CQ. It's brilliant, and still somewhat of a hidden gem. Try it out, you might be pleasantly surprised. And it's a free download.

Export to Pdf: Image not shown

I'm a newbie with Crystal Report.
I'm trying to export a loaded Crystal report document in C# to pdf.
I have a image in the document but it will not show. The Image path is an url.
If I export it to CrystalReport format it works fine and the image is shown.
crdoc.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.CrystalReport, logPath + debugFileName + "_1.rpt");
If I export it to Pdf format it will not work.
crdoc.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, logPath + debugFileName + ".pdf");
I also tried to export the document like this
ExportOptions crExportOptions = new ExportOptions();
DiskFileDestinationOptions crDiskFileDestinationOptions = new DiskFileDestinationOptions();
crDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = logPath + debugFileName + "_2.pdf";
crExportOptions.DestinationOptions = crDiskFileDestinationOptions;
crExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
crExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat;
crdoc.Export(crExportOptions);

I found a solution to this problem:
1200904 - A dynamic image from an HTTP source does not appear in a .NET application
Symptom
A dynamic image from an HTTP source does not appear in a .NET application deployed to a production system.
Cause
This problem occurs because the library file libcurl.dll is missing from the Business Objects bin directory. The libcurl.dll is not included in the .NET merge modules for Crystal Reports XI and Crystal Reports XI Release 2.
Crystal Reports XI Release 2
1. Find the libcurl.dll on the development system in C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\3.5\bin.
2. Copy and paste libcurl.dll to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.5\bin on the production system.

Why are web images not loaded on Safari?

In many cases, as I open my Safari browser most web sites are not showing any image or picture. This happens for example for:
- Google MAPS
- airbnb.com
I have tried many times to empty cache and restart Safari, but it does't work at all. The same behaviour happens on Chrome browser.
I've got a MacBook Air 11' (End 2010) with OS X Lion. Even with Leopard I had the same issue.

Could this be a Flash issue. Is Flash installed on your machine?
I believe the Air does not come with Flash installed so you have to install it yourself.

Bridge CS5 Output to Web & PDF not appearing/ working

Hi there, I'm using Bridge CS5 and the image processor and the output function has stopped working all of a sudden. All the appears is an empty panel in it's place.
I have done some reading through the discussions here and found my start up scripts folder is completely empty.
What can I do to fix this?
Can anyone help please???
Nat

What can I do to fix this?
Quit Bridge and first use Apple Disk utility to check and repair the permissions for your start up disk. After this has been done restart Bridge holding down option (alt) key and choose reset preferences.
When still in trouble also look at PS. Be sure to have all your customized settings, tools brushes and actions etc. saved as a back up so you can easily reload them if needed. The restart PS holding down shiftoptioncmd and also in here choose reset preferences. Again start Bridge holding down option key and again reset prefs. Try again. Could you report back if this worked?

Mac. brush preview not anti aliased.

not sure if this is a bug, my friend recently bought a mac and is running CS6, the brush preview doesnt seem to be smooth as usual, as you can see the hardness is 50% and should have a soft edged preview display, but thats not occuring, and the brush also draws with hard edges in the preview window, this was the default soft edged brush selected first.

That looks like you might be using the Pencil tool (notice that none of the previews are gray, just black and white).

Anti-aliased text when exporting PDF to image

I need to be able to batch-convert multi-page PDFs to individual bitmap images (one image for each page) with anti-aliased text.
Photoshop works this way if you open a single PDF, allowing you to select one or more pages to rasterize as separate images, but not when batch processing (specifically, if you use the Image Processor script on a folder of images and PDFs, it will rasterize the PDFs automatically, but it will only do so with the first page of each PDF.)
Acrobat, on the other hand, automatically creates an image for each page when exporting, and can do this in a batch sequence, but the text is not anti-aliased, making the image look like a screenshot from 1997. No matter how high an image resolution you select, the text is still jagged when you zoom in.
So, is there a setting I'm missing that will allow the text to be anti-aliased when using Acrobat to export PDF to an image? I am using Acrobat 8, not 9, so something might have changed in the newest version.

Not sure about Acrobat Pro 8, but in Acrobat Pro 9 (not Extended) you can Export>Image>Multiple Choice: JPEG, JPEG2000, PNG, TIFF. I used JPEG and under the options in the export dialog box, leave the filename as is to coincide with the PDF filename and then choose Maximum Resolution under File Settings: Grayscale (JPEG, Quality:Maximum); Color (JPEG, Quality:Maximum) . . . skip down to Conversion Colorspace: Determine Automatically and Resolution choose 600pixels/inch for a letter size document. This will result in a file size of 1.3MB per JPEG image if there is not a lot of information on the page. I chose a simple header, footer with page numbering, and 5 lines of Lorem Ipsum text. 600dpi is overkill, you can go for 300dpi and still result in a decent image that will be able to be printed on a laser photocopier that is connected to a production computer. Obviously if you are printing to a laser printer or a high quality inkjet 300dpi will suffice as well for a letter sized document. But I have been told that 300dpi is not a standard rule of thumb and you must obtain specs from your printer since he/she can calculate by very strict rules the dpi you need for your content. It depends on whether you have background images such as watermarks and also if your text body contains line-art.

Anti-aliased image clipping

I could really use some help with this.. I am completely stuck!
I want to take a square BufferedImage (created from a jpeg)
and clip it with an inscribed circle, such that only a circular image
cutout remains (and the exterior of the circle is transparent).
However, I need to do this with anti-aliasing so that the edge of the
circle is smooth.
I have tried the following two methods, but neither one produces
the correct result:
//simply returns the original image
private static BufferedImage cutoutCircle(BufferedImage img, int w, int h) {
Graphics2D g2d = img.createGraphics();
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
Shape circle = new java.awt.geom.Ellipse2D.Double(0,0,w,h);
g2d.setClip(circle);
return img;
//cuts out circle but not anti-aliased
private static BufferedImage cutoutCircle(BufferedImage orig, int w, int h) {
BufferedImage bimg = new BufferedImage(w, h,
BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Graphics2D g2d = bimg.createGraphics(); //this is blank (transparent)
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
Shape circle = new java.awt.geom.Ellipse2D.Double(0,0,w,h);
g2d.setClip(circle);
g2d.drawImage(orig, 0, 0, null);
return bimg;
}

At least try to run this code, and then maybe you'll start trying to think about what I said.
