HELP! Illustrator CC Effect Stained glass issue

Hello. I'm relatively new to Illustrator. I'm designing a pair of shorts and have come across a problem. I'm using the stained glass effect to give the shorts a reptile look over a gradient green to black 90 degrees. When I select the stained glass effect, the edges are white and black while the rest of the shorts are the green to black gradient. It's very frustrating why the color gradient does not run to the bleed lines. Can someone please help me? I have created this look in the past using Photoshop and had a bunch of uniforms made up for my customer. I need to make more, but my new supplier cannot use the photoshop file as he needs an editable file in vector. I'm trying to upload the image, but it's not working. The file is 3.6mb. Please help if you can, this is urgent.
Thank you!

I don't know anything about Illustrator but I did check over there and see your question so someone else may read it and respond.
If you want to include a screenshot of what you're talking about, it might be easier for people to understand. To embed a picture into a forum message, use the little camera icon at the top of where you type in text:
I usually have better luck with positioning the picture if I don't use Internet Explorer 11, and usually use Chrome.

Illustrator fill effects and printing issue

We just got a new canon imagepress C1+ printer and it's amazing so far. However when we try to print AI files with complex fill effects it never works. It just prints a blank page... As soon as we remove the fill effects and put something more simple in it prints it fine. We need the fill effects though.
We can't bypass it by rastering it because then it leaves these weird lines on the page. If we save to pdf it takes too long because we make changes all day on the files.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this or how to reduce the size when putting in complex fill effects? I'm not even sure it's the size issue because I printed off a simple fill effect design that was 300mb and it went fine.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for all the responses. Well it is a one layer AI file. It does print when rastered but it leaves weird lines on the page. There is no transparency on it so that wouldn't work.
It does use a RIP when processing it to print. However on the server when spooling then printing the ram on the fiery controller shows it barely using it. So not sure if that would be the problem? It very well could be a driver problem because it prints fine to all other printers beside this new one. However Ive tried multiple drivers and still nothing. I wonder if this would more than likely be a printer issue as opposed to a illustrator issue?

Stained Glass is a pixel effect, so what's the point of using AI? And even if it wasn't, if there was gradation of some sort your supplier would have to use a printing process based on creating discrete halftones to capture all tones, not sharp contours. Really doesn't make much sense. Either way, make the object with the effect larger and constrain it with a clipping mask. The same would apply for importing a pre-made texture from PS. What you see are simply the edges of the object as AI processes them with all their appearance attributes and then you get all sorts of issues with overprint and such stuff, which is one more reason why using raster effects in AI not necessarily makes sense....

Illustrator SVG Effects Coding Issues

I am having some REAL big problems coding SVG XML and having it being reproduced in Illustrator as I am expecting. Major problem right now is the feColorMatrix effect. I understand the effect and how the matrix changes the pixels but problem I am having is that when I specify 0.5 as the final output result on any of the color channel rows, Illustrator is not interpreting 0.5 as RGB 127, in other words, 50% the color value. It is more like 0.215 equates to 127 RGB decimal. Here is some code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

As you can see, the first filter retrieves the SourceAlpha which is all black. Then the color matrix takes that and does this on the first row of the matrix:
(a x red) + (b x green) + (c x blue) + (d x alpha) + e = final red output
plugging in the numbers:
(0 x 0) + (0 x 0) + (0 x 0) + (0 x 0) + 0.5 = 0.5
Should be 50% red! Or 127 RGB!!! I did the math and in Illy it is more like 0.215 = 127 = 50% ??????

Can you help me solve my aspect ratio issue?

Hey guys,
I'm posting this in hopes that someone can help me solve an aspect ratio issue with a project that I have to finish by tomorrow.
I'm trying to avoid having to re-edit the entire thing.
I shot the project with my Nikon D7000 DSLR. in 720p 30p (29.97)
I am running Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 (the trial version). I have the full version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS3.
The reason I was working with the trial is that CS3 can't handle the H.264 MOVs that the D7000 records.
You can work with a timeline, but if you try to export anything, it never works. I always have to convert my footage to ProRes MOVs with MPEG Streamclip before I can work with them is CS3. That takes a lot of time and a lot of hard drive space. After much research, I found out that CS5 is the way to go for DSLR footage. I just need to save up my pennies for the upgrade.
So I thought I'd edit this short (1 minute) project with the trial to see how CS5 works with the D7000 footage.
Upon installing the trial program, I found that the project presets were limited. I knew this ahead of time because it's clearly stated on the Adobe's website.
But I wasn't aware how limited they are.
Since "DSLR 1280x720p 30p" is not an option with the trial, I was going to use HDV 720p 30p. But that was not an option either!
So basically, my only option for 16x9 30p was "DV NTSC Widescreen". It's my understanding that this is 864x480 (in square pixel aspect ratio) or 720x480 (in widescreen pixel aspect ratio) I needed the output file to be 864x486. I downsized the footage to 69% in the "Video Effects: Motion" setting so it looked correct in the project. I didn't think about those extra 6 pixels until I outputed the file and saw thin black lines on the top and bottom. My guess is that Premiere is adding black pixels because my project is technically 720x480 (1.2121)
Any thoughts on how I can get a clean 864x486 export? I'd rather not re-edit the whole thing...which I would have to do in CS3 after I spent a few hours converting the original files in MPEG Streamclip. I don't know if there is a way to export something out of CS5 and then open a new project in CS3 to make this work.
Thanks in adavance!
- Jordan

On export, just crop a few pixels off of each side; that'll let the image scale correctly to the output frame size without black bars.
I'm not running the trial, but you should still be able to create a custom sequence preset using the Desktop editing mode. Just switch over to the General tab when you create a new sequence, and choose "Desktop" from the editing modes. Set the rest of the parameters as you need them.
Even easier: once you've imported your footage, just drag a clip to the New Item icon at the bottom of the project panel; a sequence will be created matching your footage parameters. You can edit at full-resolution, and then export to your desired frame size when complete--you'll probably still need to crop a few pixels (in the Export Settings window) to eliminate the black bars.

I have opened artwork created by someone else. We are both using Illustrator CC. This particular issue shows up in Illustrator CS5 also. Issue: in the links pallet a weird gray gadient keeps replicating. I cannot identify it in the artwork. It is an embed

Hello,
I have opened artwork created by someone else. We are both using Illustrator CC. This particular issue shows up in Illustrator CS5 also. Issue: in the links pallet a weird gray gradient keeps replicating. I cannot identify it in the artwork. It is an embedded image. I cannot get rid of it and it keeps reproducing. WHAT is it and why can't I delete it?
Thanks for any help. Ingrid

Hello, yes it is reproducing over and over. I look in the original artwork and there are 28. I did not save over the original art but “save as”. Worked on the new file for a while and now there are 47!. I copied all the content to a new blank, all colors removed, file and there they were. If I click on them can’t relink, won’t show a bounding box, no frame in wire-frame, no stray points. they are ghosts. Here is an image, to give a better visual of how they look in links panel. Any ideas? Thanks, Ingrid

Seems to be something to do with a new security check they have put in the system that does not work correctly and support is totally incapable of helping me out.
wth am i gonna do im feed up and on top i have no one to help me been calling itunes for days now im ****** off to the maxxx

I've been jumping through the hoops with Apple Support on this issue....first time I called they said I should try updating from IOS 4.0 to 4.1....tried that and the issue still persisted...then I called back to update the ticket and get the next steps...they said that the Bank is rejecting the request for verification and that is why it keeps prompting (which doesn't make sense since the confirmation seems to go through successfully). The rep also contacted the iTunes dept and had them run the verify manually and said the bank rejected it. The next hoop they want me to jump through is calling the bank to verify that the account is in good standing and inquire about the rejected requests. I'm fairly certain the bank account is in good standing....will verify of course....but I find it hard to believe that all the people who have posted here, plus countless others that are experiencing the same issue but haven't, are ALL having banking issues in the last 24hrs...I'm more convinced there is a disconnect on the back end between iTunes and Financial institutions...
I'm not sure I buy in to everything I was told...he also told me he has had several calls on this issue and they were all told to check with their banks. He could not verify that any of his past calls were resolved. Needless to say I'm not 100% believing everything he told me....weak response from Apple support on this issue so far.

Has there been any helpful remedy for the ghost typing issue?

Has there been any helpful remedy for the ghost typing issue? Where the ipad starts typing on its own and screens moving around the screen?
I have had the ipad 1 for a while- and it started about 5 months ago. Anything other than shutting down and leaving alone for hours work?

Yeah, well if you read that whole thread you will see lots of posts identifying it as a hardware problem:
I'm the original poster on this thread. I ended up taking my iPad back to the Apple Store. They ran some diagnostics, and found that my RAM was almost maxed out, which didn't really make sense. It indicated a faulty processor, so they gave me a new iPad. I took it home, synched, and it only took about 45 minutes to synch 30 gigs of data. My original iPad took about 5 hours to synch for the first time. Clearly there was a problem with the processor in the first one, but I didn't realize it at first, as it took several weeks before it started exhibiting the erratic screen behavior. Hope this helps anyone else who might experience this down the line.

So i went to my apple store... which was PACKED. Found a manager and explained my problem. Without any question, they simply replaced it. Awesome!
-duncanwilcox
I have the same problem, and I found out what's wrong, it's not the software - restart, restore and FW upgrade will not help, it's definitely hardware. The best option is to replace your iPad assuming you have an apple store nearby…
-DarkDwarf
Just get your iPad replaced. It has a hardware problem.

Don't understand: "the file [eg] 'Stained Glass l jpg' is offline..."

Hi there,
New to Lightroom 2; making some progress. I thought that I imported 800 images from either Elements 7 (that I have and want to use as Editor), or my hard drive--but I think there is something amiss. After I surveyed about a hundred images I came across a batch of about 60 pictures that I took of the new Opus Dei complex in NYC last November.
Well, after the 1st. image of the Opus Dei batch was labeled (right word?) "The file named 'Stained Glass L JPG' is offline or missing " I said, Shucks! and went to the next photo of the batch--then I realized that all of the images are inaccessible in Lightroom.
I must have botched the Import procedure, but I cannot figure out why lots of images are accessible--a lot of them are not.
Thank you.
Bill P

Bill- If you go to grid view in Library, you can see easily what photos are offline or missing. Missing in this context means LR cannot locate the file. This happens when a folder has been moved or renamed outside of LR, i.e., in the Finder or Explorer.
The first thing to try is to locate physically the image file, then direct LR to it. It most likely is on the disk where it started.

I had my Ipod nano 7Gen factory restored. Nano touch is working smooth without any song init but after i have any of the songs shifted from itune touch buttons get messed up. They don't work. Help me in over coming this issue

I had my Ipod nano 7th Gen factory restored. Nano touch works smooth without any song in-it but after i have any of the songs shifted from itunes, touch buttons get messed up. They don't work. Help me in over coming this issue.

Hello Rohantm,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPod nano (7th generation) touch screen. I recommend the following steps for the issue you described (you can skip the steps you have already tried):
Touch screen does not accept input
Clean the screen with a microfiber polishing cloth.
Do not wear gloves while using the touchscreen. Do not use the touchscreen with wet hands or immediately after applying hand lotion. Moisture affects touchscreen behavior in the same manner as it affects a trackpad.
If you have a protective plastic sheet or film on the touchscreen, try removing it, because it may be preventing the touchscreen from working properly.
The current application may be unresponsive; try resetting iPod by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home buttons simultaneously for a least six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Sync with iTunes and restore the iPod.
Issue not resolved
If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.

Please help me to sort out this issue

Hi,
I have two user MAIN_USER and TMP_USER both have DBA,CONNECT,RESOURCE privileges.
While I am creating the below procedure in MAIN_USER, I am getting the error ‘ORA-00942: table or view does not exist’ in the insert statement line FROM TMP_USER.PROD_MASTER.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE MAST_UPLOAD IS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO PROD_MAST
(SELECT *
FROM TMP_USER.PROD_MASTER);
END;
Please help me to sort out this issue.
Thanks,
Jen.

If the code works for TMP_USER but not for MAIN_USER, then the privileges are not the same. I'm assuming DBA,CONNECT,RESOURCE are roles. Roles are not the only thing that can be assigned to users. Users can have the same roles, but access to different objects. In this case, it looks like one user has access to the table, and the other doesn't.

Need help knowing which effect this is.

Hey guys I need some help with an effect in a video I saw and I was thinking maybe someone here would know which effect this is.
So it's the effect that occurs after 10 sec.
Thank you in advance

What effect after 10 seconds? There's a scale/jitter effect then an over exposure effect with fades to black and there's a blue light streak? You mentioned brush strokes so I think it's the light streak.
For that you can use Beam, or small solids stacked on top of each other with various blurs and blend modes set to Add or Screen and a lens flair, or a half dozen different particle effects, or . . .
Catch a still frame and show us what you're trying to achieve and we can help more.

Help!! White line around image with placed in Illustrator from Photoshop, possible CMYK issue?

I have a CMYK file, outlined product, that looks perfect in Photoshop. When I place the image into Illustrator, it shows up with a thin white line around parts of the product (fyi - it shows up on a print as well). I have tried to place an RGB file and it does not have the white line around the product. I assume it has something to do with it being CMYK, but I'm at a loss on how to fix this. I'm desperate for any help.

Okay, please refer this image and change the option within Ai General preferences. Uncheck the option Anti-Aliased artwork.

Help creating an effect in Illustrator

I am trying to create an effect on a vector based object but struggling to find out how to do it. The effect has been created by a previous designer at a different agency and I am unsure of what they have used.
Can anyone help with an idea on how to re-create this?

But you can approximate it by sending one black and one white copy of each shape behind the shape, moving each horizontally and vertically until enough of it shows, then add feather or blur, play with opacity levels, etc. until you get close to what you want.
Edit: Except, of course, for the inverse shapes within. I'm feverish, so I'll shut up now.
