Exporting differences in Illustrator CS6

I have png files that were exported from an earlier version of Illustrator, possibly CS1 or CS2, that were used for a company website.  I have now tried exporting new png files from the same original source files within Adobe Illustrator CS6 and I have noticed that the exports have now taken on a different appearance. They are noticeably brighter and thus appear to be washed out. I would say that the problem is most noticeable on those parts of the source file which consist of gradients.
What I have done so far is to try using different colour profiles but to no avail. The problem that this causes me is that the new exports do not appear to blend in on the website, and what was once a perfectly curved area is now square in appearance.
I have spent many works working on this problem. Any kind of feedback on this issue would be appreciated.

The disparity of colour only seems to be a problem in browsers Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 8, possibly other older versions. I have tried the exports from Illustrator CS6 and they appear as intended in Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and even Safari on the iPhone.
Curiously enough, I have tried exports from Illustrator CS1 and have discovered no issues at all. The exports look fine on every platform I have tried. Someone somewhere must know the reason for the perceived differences, not that the information is readily available. It is not just an issue restricted to png files, it also occurs with gif files also.
May be there is some update which I can apply that will allow the exports to be generated as previously.

  • Extra white space when I export images in Illustrator cs6

  • Illustrator CS6 to Powerpoint 2011 (Mac)

    Hi All,
    Please help, I've been searching for hours trying to find a solution to this and can only find a patch for CS5!
    How can you export vectors from Illustrator CS6 to PowerPoint allowing them to be editable in Powerpoint? I've tried every vector format (ai, eps, pdf, wmf, emf and on importing/pasting/paste specialing (which used to work in older versions of Illustrator) but it seems to either rasterize, or fill the bounding box. The shapes themselves are not editable in any form, colouring or otherwise.
    Please help!
    Thanks
    Pete

    Old post, but seeing this for the first time…
    Unfortunately, on the Mac side, it has not been possible (at least in PPT versions 2004 and up) to bring in vector objects (in any format) from Illustrator to PPT and turn it into an editable PPT shape. It will either just come in as if it were a PDF or as a raster image. There are two options to get around this:
    1) If you export the Illustrator graphic as an EMF (doesn't matter what version of Illustrator or whether Mac or Windows), then import that into a Windows version of PPT. Then ungroup and you'll have editable PPT graphics that you can recolor/stylize just like a PPT shape. You only need Windows for the import to PPT portion of this, and once you have it in a PPT file, you can move it over to Mac. Yet another example of MS shutting out a capability in the Mac version of Office!
    2) If you don't have access to a PC to do this, you can try OpenOffice (Mac) to import EMF files and break apart to create shapes. Then save as a PPT file and open in PPT. However, the resulting shapes I've seen from this method can turn out imperfect, especially if they were small vectors and you blow them up in size. So, okay for small icons, but if you need larger graphics, then method #1 is better.
    Hopefully a better method than those two can be found.

  • HTML5 pack illustrator CS6?

    Is the HTML5 pack compatible with illustrator CS6? How can we export CSS from illustrator CS6?

    If this is true the HTML5 Pack for Illustrator has been deprecated, then how is one to save Illustrator CS6 files for HTML5 and CSS now? Is there another workaround?

  • Hi. I'm using illustrator cs6 on pc. I've made a scientific figure for a paper and now I'm trying to export as a png or save for microsoft office. Despite my figure being in the middle of my artboard, it always comes out bottom left in the png file or jpg

    Hi. I'm using illustrator cs6 on pc. I've made a scientific figure for a paper and now I'm trying to export as a png or save for microsoft office. Despite my figure being in the middle of my artboard, it always comes out bottom left in the png file or jpg. Must be making a school boy error! Please help!

    In similar cases, my solution is to "select all" then "deselect" only the artwork I want to keep and "delete". If I'm curious I may "cut" then "paste" to see what shows up in the center of the screen. it is usually some stray point. or other element out direct sight.

  • Illustrator CS6 - Export jpg without adding artboard to name

    Is there a way in Illustrator CS6 to export as jpg with Use Artboard check to not have illustrator add the name of the artboard to your file name?
    Example -
    File name "redboat.ai"
    Export jpg "redboat.jpg" with Use Artboard option selected
    File name becomes "redboat-01.jpg"
    This is not a huge problem when I only have 1 or two files but when I have to rename 100+ file names it can be a pain.
    I do understand that I can batch rename in Bridge but it would be nice if I could have these files saved without the artboard name on them.
    Any help appreciated.

    Export to .jog with use artbaords, needs to add to the name, so shen you export imaegs with multiple artbaords you do not have reapeated names.
    You can do a save for web, and turn on clip to artboard and you will get the filename you need. Record an action to save the file to your desktop, and you will save even more time running this as a batch command on a folder of images.

  • Why does the image go blurry when I export my file to jpeg from Illustrator CS6?

    Hi,
    I have created an image on illusrator CS6 and am ready to save it.
    I have saved it as a pdf format and the image stays as a sharp vector image and not blurry at all.
    But I also want to keep the image as a jpeg. So when I go to export the image from illustrator CS6 as a jpeg, the end result comes out blurry and not sharp anymore, but more jagged on the edges of the image.
    Is there anything I can do to keep my file as a jpeg with it staying as a sharp crisp image?

    The image above is a screenshot of the ai.file
    Above - second image is the screenshot of my export settings
    the 3rd image above is a close up zoomed in part of the image - the edges are jagged and blurry

  • Illustrator CS6 DWG export also creates PNG/JPG Rasters?

    Why does Illustrator CS6 create a bunch of raster images (PNG or JPG) files when I export to DWG? There's no way to turn it off, is there? This is stupid.

    Also, they changed the way DWGs are exported, from CS5, again. It was working fine before, now not only does it add an array of raster images, it's buggy as hell. I get some lines but not others. I don't see any rhyme or reason to it, yet. This is really frustrating. My art is not complex at all.

  • Exporting layout as Photoshop from Illustrator CS6 but some of the layers keep mergering

    I have created a layout in Illustrator (CS6) and seperated the individual images I require into named layers. My intention is to export as a Photoshop file (keeping all the layers), then using 'Script' in Photoshop to 'Export layers to files..', so I can get automatically save all the elements in the layout as individual transparent png.
    When I export the files as Photoshop a warning comings up saying that 'some layer have been merged' and then when I open this file in Photoshop, all but a couple of text layers have been merged into 1 layer. I think it's something to do with the transparencies set in Illustrator but don't know how to resove this.
    If it can't be resolve in the method I am using at present, my only other option is to switch off all but 1 layer in Illustrator  and export this layer as a png, but as I have many elements to the layout (including on and off states) and this is just one layout page of many, this manual way of export the files will take me forever!
    If nobody know I way I can stop these layers from merger into one layer when exported to Photoshop, then maybe someone can  suggest a way I can automatic export the layers I have set up in Illustrator, as transparent pngs in a simular way I can in Photoshop.
    Any help anyone can give me would be MUCH appreciated, as I am on a short deadline for this project!
    Julie

    Layers are often merge becuase you've used transparency, blend modes, or other complex appearance settings in Illustrator. To ensure all layers export individually you should avoid the use of ANY and ALL transparency in AI and always export to the same color mode as your docuemnt.

  • Illustrator CS6 exports to PNG with unwanted transparencies.

    Illustrator CS6 exports to PNG with unwanted transparencies. I've done everything I can think of but some of the shapes in my Ai file with 100% opacity are still showing the layer under them in the PNG export file. What can the issue be?

    This is how the Ai file looks and it should export and look the same.
    Here is the PNG export. The yellow layers are at 100% opacity but the bottom layer is showing through and changing the color for some reason. Saving as a pdf works fine but I need a PNG.

  • DWG/DXF import from Sketchup to Illustrator CS6

    HI!
    I have recently discovered the ability to import dwg/dxf files from Sketchup Pro (using AutoCAD Version: Release 14) into Illustrator CS6...
    However, the only way that I seem to be able to see the DWG is by selecting 'Scale to Fit Artboard'... When I attempt to import using 'Original Size' or the 'Scale by' input factor the item doesn't seem to show anywhere on the artboard?
    Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
    Thanks!

    Thanks Mike!
    Well, the sketchup file was created in mm, but for some reason their export 2D Graphic dialog box only has inches option (not that it should make any difference since the scaling factor runs the same across the board). Just in case I've changed the units in the sketchup file to inches to bring consistency and match the exporting parameters.
    I've exported the sketchup file to DWG and DXF as both 1:1 and 1:200 to cover all angles and then import into Illustrator as 1:200 and 1:1 respectively to no avail. I've also tried to export and 1:1 and bring in at 1:1 but again no luck, and also attempted to import into Illustrator using the 'Original Scale' tick box.
    The only way the import works is by selecting 'Scale to Fit to Artboard' which obviously gives me an arbitrary scale. I guess a workaround might be to draw a bounding box over the contents in Sketchup and use this to manually scale in Illustrator? My only fear here is losing accuracy though...
    What do you think?

  • Why can't I find certain Pantone plus colors in Illustrator CS6 color books?

    Why can't I find certain Pantone plus colors in Illustrator CS6 color books? For example I want to use PMS 2296C, but it is not coming up in the color swatch book in Illustrator.

    Thanks!
    I actually just came across the same thing in the meantime.
    And it worked!
    If you bought the physical Pantone books, there is a registration/serial number on the back. You can go to Pantone and register it (https://www.pantone.com/pages/MYP_myPantone/mypProductRegistration.aspx)
    Then you're able to download the Pantone manager.
    There are infact 336 new colors added to the Pantone Plus series. And this is where you need to get them. Once you have them, in Pantone color manager, you go to: File/Export/Adobe Illustrator/sRB. Then restart Illustrator.
    Once you go back in, the new 336 colors are available!

  • Color management in Illustrator CS6 and InDesign CS 6-settings & workflow questions.

    I've read the color management posts and the Adobe help file regarding the Pantone + libraries and the new differences between CS5 & 6. However I'm still a bit confused as to just what my settings should be, and a few posts offer different pieces of advice, so I'm looking for clarification. I don't need to work with legacy CS files, so I don't want to swap out the old Pantone libraries for the Plus ones. However I still have my old Pantone Solid, Coated and Uncoated swatchbooks and until I can afford the new Plus swatchbooks, I'll depend on those. I'm hoping the difference between Pantone 321U and Pantone+ 321 is not great.
    If I'm preparing a file for print and to be placed into an InDesign CS6 document for print, I know both document color modes should be CMYK—got that. In Illustrator CS6, I'm assuming I would use a Pantone+ Uncoated swatch (remember I'm using the old Pantone Uncoated swatch book as a visual guide and praying that the difference isn't too noticeable.)
    1. In the Swatch settings pallette, should I set the Spot Color option to use the first choice—use LAB values specified by the book manufacturer, or use CMYK values from the manufacturer process books.
    2. In the View menu, should I select Overprint Preview to get a (more or less-I know the drill) closer monitor color to what will be printed.
    I don't want to fool around with trying to set the CMYK values as listed in Pantone Color Bridge CMYK EC (found on Scribed here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/33104/Pantoner-Color-BridgeTm-Cmyk-Ec ), and I'm not even sure of the point in doing so or what it would do for me.
    What I want is to depend on a swatch book, select the named swatch from the Pantone library, have all my settings set properly,  then place it in InDesign, then send the file to a digital printer and get as close an approximation to the swatch book selection as possible. I need monitor color settings to reflect the swatches as best possible.
    When I can afford it, should I opt for the Pantone+ Coated and Uncoated swatchbooks, or the Color Bridge? I'm usure of the difference, and if there are any Illustrator or InDesign settings that would need to be changed depending.
    As a corollary to this questions, once the settings are OK in Illustrator, what do they need to be in InDesign? There are settings for Ink Manager (all spots to process or use standard LAB values for spots, the Color palette has check options for LAB, CMYK, RGB.
    I'm not  sure what needs to be set in InDesign to make sure colors are consistent between what is set in Illustrator and then what InDesign does.

    Let me try to help you further:
    1. In Illustrator's Swatch settings pallette, should the Spot Color Mode option be set to use:
    a. CMYK
    b. LAB
    c. Book Color (not sure if this refers to the pantone swatchbook)
    - I would use "c" - Book Color.  This is the file going to the printer which will use Spot Color on press.  For a copy of the file to be output by your Canon, use "a" - CMYK.
    2. In the View menu should Overprint Preview be checked, and why, and would it differ based on the settings for #1.
    - Only if the color was transparent ( which it isn't ) would overprint preview be of any use or you use a tint value of the Spot color and a black, but even then you may not be able to detect any change in the screen view.  I typically do not use any overprint preview and I do not rely on the monitor for any color deisions.  You could be different and that is OK.  Let me know if you are able to detect any deviates using overprint preview.
    I'm sorry for being a little short.  There is a lot of confusion about these issues and Adobe and Pantone are not making things any easier.
    The key is your Canon will not be able to print accurate Spot color without a RIP for the necessary color tables and conversions for that particular printer.  In your case, it will be necessary to build a CMYK file to print a somewhat  approximate representation of that specific Spot color.  Another frustrating part of this matrix is CMYK cannot match all Pantone Spot Colors.
