How do I compress a PNG file in Illustrator?

Don’t use .png format for print. It’s not meant for that and can’t have an embedded profile for colour conversion.
So conversion from RGB to CMYK will be pretty random and probably not match your expectations.
You should either convert the file to CMYK yourself (using a suitable colour management setup for the printing process in question) or else supply an RGB format that supports colour profiles. .Jpg, .psd, .tif, .pdf, .eps are o.k. but not .png.

Cloud storage - how can I use my .png file shared in "public mode" like a hosted file ?

Hi every body,
I am french and new on the forum so please be indulgent ! (for my english and my questions).
I am working on HTML signature for my company and I have a little problem.
to be viewed, my .png files needs to be on a server. So I remember that adobe gave me a 100giga storage for me to use.
Cool !
But the problem is that the link only send me to a special view of my file... a jpeg one. So when I try to copy the url I can only use the .jpg
I want my file !
So my question is : is it possible that the cloud storage isn't supposed to share any thing else than a miniature of my file and a download button ?
How can I use it for my signature if I can't acess it but only download it?
Thank you very much for your time
Morgan

Hi Morgan,
You are correct. Public link sharing works as follows:
- you can share a public URL to your PNG file on Creative Cloud. The recipient of the URL can view a preview of the file and download the file in the original PNG format or JPG format.
- it is not possible to give other users direct access to the original file in Creative Cloud.

How do I open a png file?

Cheers All,
I am not seeing how to open a png file with the new Creative Cloud Pshop.
I am fearing that it has been disabled by Apple or some such nonsense.
My last version of shop had a right click 'open with', which I am not getting now with CC.
many thanks, Dave

Thanks Mylenium, both for the reminder to inform the Forum of device and OS, and, for the answer to my question!
I have had long standing issues with setting the 'open with' default , both over device and over the years; thus I had forgotten the option altogether.
Having wiped this old computer clean and started fresh, the new default I just set to use CC to open png files is functioning as it should!
Cheers and thanks again!

How do I compress an audio file?

Hello,
This is definitely an overloaded home page, but I am doing what I am told. I am working on making some of the images smaller for speed.
http://www.peterspunch.com/
My problem is that the audio works fine on my computer on Safari, but gets cut off on Flock and Firefox. Would a different audio file be more universal to browsers? Or is this just an overload problem? Or should I compress the audio file - its 4MB?
Diloretta

The audio file I see is 745 Kb, which is still a little large for a file being forced on your visitors. You could reduce the sample rate from 44100Hz and/or the bitrate from 128 kb/s.
Is that Jimmy Buffet? Do you have clearance/license to use the music?
You've also got some odd slicing of your images. More judicious use of transparent GIF or PNG files may be useful.

How do I compress a video file on mac

Please help!! I have just created a movie using iMovie which is 175 mb. How do I compress it so I can email it to a friend?

If the file is longer than a minute in time then it may be too large for email.
Better to use an online file sharing service to send the 175 MB version.

How Do I Compress A . pdf File

The PDF format itself contains significant amounts of compression applied to all PDF file contents. One can compress a PDF file into a ZIP file, but that ZIP file cannot be directly opened by the Adobe Reader.

How do I save a PNG file with an alpha channel in Photoshop CS5?

I have a PNG file created in Photoshop and I need to save it with an alpha channel for web purposes. I tried 'Save for Web & Devices' and selecting the Transparent box. Then, after saving, when I select 'get info' for the file it says there is no alpha channel. I'm stumped I can't seem to create an alpha channel from within Photoshop while I'm editing. Help!

If you save as a 24bit png with transparent checked photoshop will save the png with transparent background (ie alpha transparency). The png will appear transparent in a web browser.

How do I open a png file using firefox with windows 7

In Windows XP I could save an image in the png format then open it using firefox, copy and paste it into an excel spreadsheet. However I can't do this in Windows 7. Has anybody else encountered this problem and found a solution?
Kind regards

Hi there,
Could you describe your workflow and what happens? If you mean that double-clicking on a .png file in a normal folder (Explorer) window doesn't launch it in Firefox, which application is launched when you click it? If you want to make Firefox the default application to handle .png files, you need to change these settings in Windows 7. Unfortunately I don't have it myself (running a Mac here) so I don't remember the exact instructions. But I'm sure you could right-click on a .png file and select "Open With..." and from there manually pick Firefox. Try that and see if you get the results you want!
Cheers,
David

Cannot open or place .png files in Illustrator

I recently created a logo in Illustrator CS3 using a .png graphic generated by Flash CS3, and while it was working fine last week, today when I tried to modify the logo, it suddenly closed, and whenever I try to open or place a .png file, it does nothing, and whenever I try to open a file with a placed .png graphic from Flash, it automatically closes the file. Do I need to re-install the program? And if so, I'm on a Mac, how do I do that? Thanks for any advice anyone can offer...

Hi Wade,
hmmm, still didn't work--I trashed both library settings and settings
in that folder for Illustrator, plus the plist, emptied the trash,
repaired disk permissions (which I've done a couple times in the past
few days already, hoping it would clear up this issue) and re-booted.
Are there any other ideas? I could boot from my computer's system CD
installer disk and run disk utilities to repair, but when I go to
"verify" from this harddrive, it tells me nothing is wrong. My other
thought was to run an older Norton disk and run Speeddisk, but am not
sure how doing this from a OS9 disk will work with a OS10.4.11
computer...
I guess last ditch would be to reinstall Illustrator. If it helps, I
should probably point out that I also have CS1 on this machine, but
rarely use it, except occasionally InDesign, to test a file, and am
wondering whether I should take off Illustrator and Photoshop from
that suite.
thanks,
Paula

How do I transfer a .psd file to illustrator that can then be placed in Muse as a .svg with transparent background?

I just wrote all this up in another thread. I did not realize at the time that the last post was in 2014, so I'm giving it a go here.
I am currently trying to create an .svg using Photoshop .psd file (with layers in tact). I'm new to these products so it may be obvious to others that the above intention was to eventually place the .svg in some sort of website creation software such as Muse. Which is precisely what I am attempting. However, I am getting a white background once I place or copy and paste into Muse. My starting .psd has a transparent background without any hidden layers causing this problem. To test this I placed the .psd file into Muse and it still has a transparent background. However when opening or placing this file into illustrator, it picks up a white background. If I do exactly as described above, I still get the same result. So far I have tried:
1) Simple copy and paste from Photoshop .svg to illustrator to Muse. Result - white background.
2) Placing the .psd in illustrator, then placing the .svg file in muse. Result - white background.
4) I have also tried the every combination of 1 and 2. - Result - white background.
3) I have now created a path in Photoshop from the text layer to yet again attempt the above methods. Result - white background.
I'm including an image of the object I am trying to place with transparent background, but I have both a flattened rasterized version, a version complete with layers and a third (.svg) with the corresponding objects. I am completely new to Illustrator as of today so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Link to .psd file "Welcome text"

I was having some difficulties getting the correct dimensions of one of my objects, I eventually solved this problem without using svg. It was pretty simple when I stopped trying to over complicate things. I just linked the object to a near by object in photoshop, merged and placed it all as one. It looks great now. Thanks for your reply. You are correct, SVG was not the answer.
