Help! I created a Vector shape in Photoshop, and it's only half showing in AI

As you can see by the screenshots, this logo is vector and shows up perfectly in PHotoshop. (it was created in Photoshop and is a layered Vector PDF).  I bring it into AI, though and the top portion of the talking heads disappear.  Though their shape oultines remain.  A grey box shows up when I click a lot.  I am really a photoshop gal, so all this Illustrator stuff is foreign to me.  I'm thinking the grey box is containing my art and only showing what falls within it?  Can someone help me expand it or remove it so that all my logo will show up in AI?  Thanks again!

See the layer panel in Photoshop
or the layer panel in Illustrator
AFAIK Photoshop won't save shape layers as vector paths in a PDF, so you might not find anything in Illustrator.

  • Converting Vector shapes from Photoshop to Indesign

    I am trying to convert a Photoshop document to an Indesign document. I have vector shapes that I want to transfer to the new INDD document. However, I cannot seem to find a workaround that maintains the ability to edit the vector shapes once placed in the INDD document.
    Is there a way to transfer the vector graphics from PSD to INDD so they will maintain their editing capabilities? So far, my work around has been to recreate the vector shapes in Illustrator and copy and paste them into the INDD document. However, this is very tedious. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

    Jambo,
    You could try to save the file as pdf if you want to take the whole content as one from AI and open the same in Photoshop.
    Or save the file as Photoshop and while making the files make sure you put the content in different layers while creating in Ai and then save as PSD (Photoshop Document)
    While save make sure you have write layers option selected when you save as PSD in advance options

  • Exporting vector shapes in Photoshop

    Hi, i hope im able to explain my situation properly.
    The thing is, i made several vector shapes in Illustrator, of course forgot to save the .ai and then my mac went out of power and lost the document.
    BUT, before the mac went out of power i imported the shapes into Photoshop, and now their laying there as vector shape layers. Is there any way for me to export the vector shape layers back into illustrator, and still maintain vector editability?
    I would be ever so grateful for any help!

    You can select the Paths and copy/paste them or ducplicate the Vector Masks in the Paths Panel and use Edit > Export > Paths to Illustrator.
    Or simply open the psd in Illustrator and check Convert Layers to Objects.

  • Can you blur vector shapes in Photoshop without rasterizing?

    Is there a way to blur vector shapes in Photoshop, similar to the way Illustrator does, without having to rasterizing the layer? I am working with a very large file that has been scaled from 300dpi to 50 in order to manage it while working. I will sclae back to 300 dpi before sending to printer. Rasterized images will soften as you know which i guess is ok when it comes to a blurred shape, now that i think about it. But for future reference?
    Thanks,
    DM

    In the layer of interest make sure the vector mask is selected. Then in the Masks panel adjust the feather slider to an amount that looks right.

  • How to programmatically create this vector shape?

    I have a cardboard cut-out of something I want to create.
    See picture?
    I've  taken a picture and made a vector outline that I'm satisfied with.
    Initial vector shape!
    Now  to get those holes, there's a variety of ways to do it... but I want  accuracy, so does anyone have a suggestion how to pull it off?
    Methods  to achieve the evenly spaced holes inside the piece?
    1 - SLOPPY -  Draw each segment by hand, using photo as a background reference.
    2 -  SLOPPY - Draw a rounded corner rectangle then duplicate/scale/edit it  for each segment.
    3 - SLOPPY - Bring prepared photo in and use  Illustrator's LiveTrace feature to convert the shapes into vector. I  tried, with variations. Have to tweak each individual segment after.
    4  - PREFERRED - Somehow tell the computer to generate X number of objects  along Y path, making them smaller and smaller.
    Method 4 can almost be  done in a number of ways...
    4a-Make a rounded corner rectangle,  duplicate it off in a straight row, group them together, then use  something like Warp.
    4b-Make a rounded corner rectangle, duplicate it  off in a straight row, group the together, then use 3d extrude &  rotate and extract the results.
    4c-Make a rounded corner rectangle,  use Transform and replicate it X times and adjust horizontal/vertical  positioning and scale.
    I like 4c but still not close. How can I  restrict it to be along a pre-determined path (an arc)? Like  text-on-path tool, but with shapes, and scaling down progressively like a  warp.
    Anyone have any advice?
    I need/want precision  because this is a part that will be cut out of a CNC machine for  something that'll be at a tradeshow.

    We need a better understanding of your understanding of terms like "accuracy," "evenly spaced," and "precision."
    If I interpret "accuracy" to mean "true to the original raster image," then I would use method #1. It's "sloppy" only if you do not know how to use Illustrator drawing tools.
    The blend tool might get you to method #4, but you will be constrained as to spacing and shape progression.
    Note that you can replace the spine of a blend with a path you've created.

  • Is there a way to create a contact box on photoshop and save as PDF?

    Can someone explain how or where to find a tutorial to create a contact box on photoshop then save as a pdf? Thank you!

    Contact box? Your question is not clear perhaps if there was one and only one standard contact box on planet Earth there would probably be more the one correct answer to you question.  Please describe what your desired in the PDF file. If you want something that can be filled in like a contact form you may need to use a different Adobe product like Acrobat. Or something to create an HTML Page with a contact form.

  • Slow to create Organiser Catalog & Thumbnails in Photoshop and Premiere?

    This is a newbie question ... I tried to find an answer, however most posts seem to be about specific issues.
    Background
    I have just upgraded my PC to an intel quad processor (6600), new motherboard, 4gb DDR 800mhz ram, 512mb geforce video card and new 500Gb SATA2 HDD.
    I've purchaesd and installed Photoshop Elements 6 and Premiere 4 and am now trying to get all my photos and videos into the organiser.
    Issue
    I have moved all my photos and videos to a specific folder and have run the Get Photos option in photoshop organiser. It finds something like 11,000 items and loads them up. From this point there are no thumbnails displayed, they are all greyed out and it says "Generating Thumbnails" in the bottom left of the frame. I left this runnning overnight, and in the mornign there are still no thumbnails displayed (slider all the way to left to show max number of thumbs).
    What I was hoping to do was to load up all images and videos, then gradually work my way through them assigning ratings and metadata ... seems that it is taking an awefully long time to load ... am I following the wrong approach?
    Another related issue is that when I load premiere 4 and select the "Organiser" tab, the system seems to hang for a long time when displaying video's only (about 30Gb of videos) ... if I try to page down on the thumbnails of videos, the system hangs and takes about 5mins to re-fresh the view.
    Maybe I'm following the worng approach in trying to organise all images and videos at teh same time ?? ... any ideas on how I can do this more effectively, as at the moment it seems that the organiser in Photoshop and Elements runs extremely slowly.
    Cheers

    Ben,
    I suggest loading all your photos first and getting that straightened out before tackling Premiere. So first, start with a fresh catalog and import just the photos into it.
    The PSE 6 Organizer has lots of problems generating thumbnails when you first load a catalog, but most people have been able to work through those problems reasonably quickly.
    If you have lots of raw files, you need to follow the recipe in this article:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b53a81
    Otherwise, try rebuilding the Organizers thumbnail cache:
    1. In Help > System Info, find the folder containing your catalog.
    2. Exit PSE.
    3. In that folder, delete the file thumb.5.cache.
    4. Restart PSE.
    5. Edit > Select All.
    6. Edit > Update Thumbnail.
    This can take a long time, roughly 10,000 JPEGs per hour.

  • HELP! iTunes reclassified my band's genre and now I don't show up in search results

    I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to post. My problem is fairly unique and I'm just not sure how to go about it. Please point me in the right direction if I've made a mistake.
    Okay, so here's the deal: I'm a musician who releases piano tributes to popular music under the name Molotov Cocktail Piano. My record label, CC Entertainment, has always set my genre category as "Rock." I'm not sure exactly why, but this has been the case since I began recording and releasing last June. Some time within the last week or so, Molotov Cocktail Piano's genre has been reclassified to Pop>Tribute along with many other (but, for some reason, not all) tribute acts, which in and of itself is no big deal to me but now MCP doesn't show up in the search results. My label thought at first that perhaps iTunes was blacklisting the word "tribute" as most of my album's titles use the word. However, I noticed that some other groups' albums that have the word "tribute" in their title still show up. After a closer inspection, I came to the conclusion that any tribute group or artist that has been reclassified to Pop>Tribute doesn't show up and any tribute group or artist whose genre remains unchanged still DOES show up. Take, for example, MCP's "Tribute to Taylor Swift: 1989." Before this switch, anyone choosing to search for "Taylor Swift" could scroll through her official releases and the many tribute albums dedicated to her. My tribute had been selling reasonably well and was listed near the top of the list after her official releases. Now after the reclassification, my album doesn't show up at ALL for the "Taylor Swift" search term, whereas some others still do. I feel certain that this is an unintentional mistake that somehow didn't get addressed when iTunes created the new Pop>Tribute genre and that it just needs to be brought to the attention of the right person to make what would seem to be an easy fix. In the mean time, however, I am losing sales with every passing day and iTunes is losing their percentage on those sales. The timing is just terrible, with the Christmas season upon us. Could someone PLEASE help?
    Sincerely,
    Rob Weber

    when you play the CD in your laptop on your home screen a Cd should pop up under the name of the album. Than when you open itunes it will probly say something like "let this CD download" or something like that. If it doesn't than automaticlly while the CD is importing to your itunes a page will pop up with a progess of the CD download.
    Hope that helped.

  • Can I create a shape in Photoshop and use it as a mask?

    I've made a leaf in photoshop - white on black, but it's still in layers at this point. I'm trying to bring the leaf into motion, and use it as a mask so I can run video behind it. I've been able to mask around the video in my leaf shape, but all of the black is surrounding it, and I can't see the video in the layers underneath it.
    It's basically a "fall" theme commercial, using a digital juice fall background, and then I want my video to "fall" (get it?) in leaves as well. Make any sense?

  • Need help for creating sharepoint sites for both internet and intranet users

    We would like to know what is the best approach to create SharePoint sites for our customers(internet users) and internal employees(intranet users) on the same SharePoint server. Here is the scenario:
    1) A customer posts a document from internet.
    2) This triggers a approval workflow that can only be accessed and executed in the intranet environment. This approval process requires approval's possible modifications to the customer's document.
    3) We would like the customer not to able to check the approval state and the modified document until the document is fully approved and finalized.
    We are pondering if we need to create two sites, one site for customer and the other site is for internal approvers. Or one site is possible. It also looks like we need to somehow copy customer's original document to intranet site and triggers the workflow.
    Any design ideas are helpful. Thank you advance!

    Hi Jason,
    Though it is perfectly possible to have both intranet and internet on the server, it is not a recommended practice. Having both on the same server would have multiple problems, instead me detailing it out, here is a forum thread on which Trevor had given
    enough reasons -
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/9b550c33-6f5f-4cd9-8762-8ff389b747d9/sharepoint-2013-one-farm-to-host-intranet-extranet-internet?forum=sharepointadmin
    If you have valid reason to go with single server, then you can also explore email enabled lists as one option and another one would be using custom sharepoint designer workflow.
    you can also try using event receivers to send documents to intranet site from internet site, process everything and update the document in the internet site.
    Hope this helps!

  • Help Needed Creating AppleScript for Dial Up Access and Updates

    Hello,
    Due to my location I can only access the internet via Dial Up. I would like to create a script that wakes up my Mini early in the AM, dials my ISP and checks to see if there are any Apple Updates. I'd like to do this at night so my family doesn't have to compete with updates when they are using the computer.
    I've done the Apple Scripting tutorials and have a feel how to do the basics. But I cannot find any information on how to access the USB Modem (US Robotics), get it to dial, access the "Check for Updates" page, download, install and then disconnect.
    Can anyone point me to a functional script that will do this or tell me where I can find the modem related scripting commands?
    Thanks

    1). Does your script both get and install updates if they exist ? If not what should be added to accomplish that?
    If you use man softwareupdate to look at the command line options for softwareupdate you'll find:
    -i | --install
    Each update specified by args is downloaded and unarchived,
    and also installed. The install flag requires root. args
    can be one of the following:
    item ... One or more update names.
    -a | --all All appropriate updates.
    -r | --req All required updates.
    So '-i' tells softwareupdate to install the updates, and '-a' tells it to install all available updates, as opposed to a specific update, or 'required' ones.
    2). Can you suggest an addition to the script that will disconnect the dial up modem and then shut down our Mac Mini?
    That's going to be harder because, as written, the script performs the softwareupdate in the background. It does that so that you don't run into timeout issues (by default AppleScript will timeout after a certain period, canceling the script in progress). Since it's not clear how long the updates will take to download and install it isn't possible to predict what the appropriate timeout should be.
    The easiest way to disconnect would be to just configure the dialup connection to disconnect after a certain period of idleness (System Preferences -> Network -> Modem -> Advanced -> PPP -> Options or some such). If that doesn't suffice let me know and I'll craft up a revised script.
