Illustrator CS5 drop shadow - blur not rendering correctly

I just got a new computer and have installed Illustrator on it. This is my first time using the program on this computer. I created this file on my old computer in Illustrator. When opening it today, in the newly installed version of CS5, the drop shadow blur effect is not rendering properly. However, as you can see in the screenshot, one of the words has a proper blur. Everything else does not! Anyone know what to do, short of re-installing the whole program? Red arrow is the problem drop shadow. Purple arrow is the drop shadow that blurred correctly.

Well it must be something wrong on this new computer, I can't figure out what. Whenever I do a new iteration of a drop shadow it doesn't render the blur. For example, the one below- the first "Tune in" is from the original document, created on my other computer. The second "Tune in" is what happens when I try to alter it in any way, including deleting the old drop shadow and adding a new one.

Why is my .psd file not rendering correctly in ae

Some layers of the .psd document are not rendered correctly. However they are imported.
The strange thing is that when I first move from Photoshop to Illustrator, save it as an .ai file it is rendered properly (in Ae).
I am kind of clueless as to what is causing this issue.
Kind regards,
Jelle

Okay if more information is needed, i'll provide. However you may disregard my initial comment about illustrator. It flattens the photoshop layers so I do not have any flexibility in After Effects. In other words, my main question remains: why is my psd file not rendering correctly in ae?
Further details:
-photoshop cc and after effects cc.
-macbook pro retina
If still not clear enough, please tell me what details you are looking for furthermore

[SOLVED] KDE4.3 is not rendering correctly the images in the desktop

I've posted a bug in KDE because the KDE images are not rendered correctly:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202829
You can see an image of my desktop at:
https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=35921
As someone suggests, and I also agree with him, it would be a driver problem. My graphic card is "ATI Radeon X1950 Pro" and I'm using the "xf86-video-ati 6.12.2-2" driver. I know that there are other possibilities according to this wiki:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI
I already tested them with KDE4.2 and xf86-video-ati provided the best result for me.
Someone with an ATI card has the same problem? Which driver would you suggest to me?
Thank you

Thank flamelab for your help.
The xf86-video-ati-git:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15374
fixed all my problems. Probably you've heard about it Now, I don't have any rendering problem and I have enabled the Desktop effects. I tested it with and without the xorg.conf file. Both of them worked, but without the file I don't have my keyboard in Spanish.
I read that it was possible the KMS support. I tested it by changing from graphical to text mode but it takes some time so I guess that it's not enabled. Is there any way to test KMS?
Is it possible to upgrade the AUR driver to the official repository? Meanwhile, I will comment my problem in the KDE site.
Best regards,
Jaime

PDF not rendering correctly

Hi
Can anyone help? I am using an iMac and have had a pdf emailed to me. When I login on to the site and select the PDF to view, it is not rendering correctly.
I am not a technical person but to me it appears to open as a series of code, letters, numbers and symbols.
Any ideas how to rectify this?
Is it Adobe related or can I update the settings for the browser? I am using Safari.
Thanks

what OS & Safari version ?
Often, removing any 'pdf' plugins in
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
and
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
then restarting the browser will solve pdf display issues, although in this case, it sounds as if the site is telling Safari that these are text type files & it's attempting to display them accordingly.
Disabling plug-ins via Safari - Preferences - Security should also eliminate pdf plug-ins as a cause.

Basic Layout not rendering correctly.

''locking as a duplicate of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1035123''
Hello,
I've been trying to debug a problem I was noticing on my production websites, so I dumbed it down to a quick codepen to show off the issue. http://codepen.io/anon/pen/GgoBNJ
Basically, standard fonts (helvetica, arial, etc.) are not rendering correctly within a div. For some reason the text is pushing itself up ~2 pixels. Not to mention, fonts are looking very jagged within the browser for no apparent reason.
I am setting up a basic div with hardly any styles and yet this produces two different renderings within FF and Chrome
.box{
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
border: 2px solid #FF5500;
display: inline-block;
width: 100px;
This is causing me all sorts of headaches with designers who are trying to make layouts pixel perfect as I have zero control over something like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Rollover text not rendering correctly in Safari 7.x

Safari 7.x and my blog (NotNecessarilyPretty.com) are not getting along.
Specifically, the rollover text in the post titles (see attached or visit site) is not rendering correctly. The right edge of the text does not change to the correct color. Have been in contact with Apple as well as the theme's developer, but have yet to be offered of a fix.
This blog displays correctly when accessed via Chrome or Firefox, and prior to Mavericks, Safari evidenced no problem.
Thoughts on how to correct this?
Thanks!

The original screenshot didn't show here, so for anyone else reading, who may well know much more about CSS & Safari than I :

RequestCenter emails not rendering correctly in Outlook 2007

RequestCenter emails not rendering correctly in Outlook 2007
I'm having an problem where the RequestCenter automated emails are losing most of their HTML formatting when viewed in Outlook 2007. When I look at the same email in Outlook 2003, the HTML formatting is fine. Here's a picture of the same email displayed in Outlook 2003 and 2007:
When I view the source HTML of the email, I noticed that there are duplicate HTML, HEAD, and BODY tags that have been automatically added by RequestCenter. Apparently these extra tags are ignored by Outlook 2003, but cause problems with Outlook 2007.
This picture shows the HTML source in RequestCenter's HTML editor compared to the HTML source from within Outlook with the extra tags.
I tried removing the HTML, HEAD, and BODY tags in the HTML editor, but the editor puts the tags back in when you save it.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks,
Scott

We've actually had the same problem and had opened a ticket with customer care - it's the editor that's in the version we have (or had, since we are going through the upgrade). What we've had to do is embed xml tags in the body of the email too, and then the team that processes the email has a little application that will process the data in the tags and strip the HTML that the editor applies. Not much help, I know.
I've heard a rumor that the issue is fixed in 2007 with the new text editor - I'

Adf application not rendered correctly with url ip and url localhost.

Hi all.
I have a strange problem. When I enter to my adf application deployed in a local stand alone weblogic server with the ip:
http://localhost:7001/Application/faces/index
it renders fine. But when I load it with the url:
http://10.5.14.15:7001/Application/faces/index (private ip), it doesn´t render fine. Tables haven´t the same style, and some elements appear selected like if I have selected them with the mouse.
This problem only happens with internet explorer, not with Chrome.
Also when I see a table inside a region in a jspx, the with of the header of the columns is not rendered correctly, causing the width of the header row not be the same than the other rows.
This problem also happens only with internet explorer.
Any help please?
Internet Explorer 8. JDeveloper 11g.2. Weblogic 10.3.5.0
Also happens with Internet Explorer.
Maybe encoding? doctype?
Thanks

What would the DOCTYPE have to do with the IP address?
Have you looked at the HTML source in the different browsers and tried to debug what's wrong? Sounds like there may be some images/css files that aren't being downloaded in IE when you use that IP address. Are you sure IE isn't configured with a proxy?

To confirm, al songs are already in your iTunes library of current computer, and they all play using iTunes (on the computer)?
And you are saying all the songs you purchased from the iTunes Store can be synced to the nano without any problems? But NONE of the other songs (that are NOT from the iTunes Store) can be synced to the nano, or SOME of them?

'Sorry, Too Many Cards' message NOT rendering correctly

I'm seeing the 'Sorry, Too Many Cards' message not render properly for me on Palm Pre 1.3.1. I rebooted the phone and was able to reproduce the problem by opening up many cards. I have uploded a screenshot: http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/6525/browser20091511171212.png
As you can see, the 'OK' button is not rendered correctly. If I remember correctly it supposed to be a green button? Also, the right side box is supposed to have an icon or something. I've never seen this error message NOT rendered properly before 1.3.1.
BTW, like others have posted - once I get to a memory threshold I can't even open up core apps - like 'Device Info' (in case I needed to reboot the phone). I would have expected some high availability on these apps w/r/t memory management.
I would upload more debugging information if I knew how on the Pre. But like I said I was able to reproduce on 1.3.1 before and after a reboot.
Thanks,

I'm having the same problem. Usually I will have Tweed open along with the Camera app. I try to send a photo by email and I get the "too many cards open message". Sometimes when I turn the screen off and turn it back on it fixes it. But today I only had the Photo app open and was trying to send a photo by email and i got the "too many cards open message". The same happens when I only have one program like the emailapp then click on a link. Right now I have NO apps open. I'm trying to open the camera app and it keeps giving me the warning. It's very annoying, especailly when you are trying to do some quick. Oh don't get me started on the the slowness of the system ...

CS6 Drop shadow will not blur.

I did the update it worked twice this morning and bam no blur on the drop shadow. I shut down completly and rebooted still not working. Any suggestions?

That is basically what I am doing it will work a few times and all of a sudden it stops again. Delete prefs and it works again. You can see when it stops that the gaussian blur is not being applied.

PH drop shadow multiply not working in illustrator?

Hi guys,
I have quite a few images supplied with photoshop 100% black drop shadow's, I bring these images into illustrator but the shadow seems washy, like the mulitiply isn't working. I dont want to turn the shadow off in ph as the shadow also goes inside the image. Should PH effects be carried through to illustrator??
thanks
CS5

The Photoshop image is RGB, the Illustrator file is CMYK? Then this could be kind of normal.
Also: check your color management.

Illustrator CC Drop Shadow Issue

Since upgrading to Illustrator CC, I am having random issues with drop shadows. It doesn't matter if the shadow is applied to a basic vector graphic per screenshot attached, or to a placed transparent image, and it can be on complex shapes or very simple shapes. I get these odd straight lines running through the shadow. It is just a CMYK file (no spot colour), set up for print, document raster effects resolution set to 300ppi. I have tried fiddling with the drop shadow settings, if I move the x and y settings it just moves the line. If I keep the x and y distance the same but remove the blur value, the line disappears (see screenshot without blur). It is not related to transparency, because even if I flatten the image and expand the shadow, it is still there.

Dhirendra Mohan, thanks but it happens on all different shapes and sizes, irrelevant of stroke being added or not, but it is definitely linked to high resolution, larger files.
Raymarcher, I reckon you've nailed it. I did not have this problem with CS5 on the same size files but updating to CC has caused a lot of performance issues on my Mac. Photoshop CC has already told me to update my video card. I'm running:
iMac 24" 2009 2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4gb 1067 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 256MB
Running OS X 10.8.5
Waiting on the next release of iMac before buying. Will just have to adjust the raster effects resolution in the meantime and will certainly try switching off other applications when working on large files and see if that works. Have never used SVG drop shadow but will read up thanks.
So problem not totally solved, clarification from Adobe that this would be the cause would be great, before I buy a new iMac please.
Cheers,
Julie

Drop shadow blur issue

Hi, we have come across an issue using Illustrator drop shadows with a large blur. What seems to happen is that Illustrator expands the box size and after fading the shadow to nothing it seems to fade back to the colour. To try create a box with a colour fill, add a drop shadow with any colour other than black with about a 7mm offset and a blur of over 10mm

I see the problem for one thing when yo give the feather a large setting it extends beyond the the shape that it is generated by so it is actually expanding beyond what a pears to be a clipping path that is totally invisible as well as extending to the opposite direction of the direction of the offset.
You can draw a shape that can mask the edges showing and make a clipping mask.
You can also make your own shadow which might prove to be a better option with a feathered copy of the objects shape and filling that with the color you want you can give it quite a feather if you desired.
The reason that might be better is that you can use a spot color which does not seem to be supported in drop shadows but is supported in feathered shapes.
This is puzzling as I swear I read somewhere this was fixed?
This is what a drop shadow looks like when created with a feathered rectangle of course you have more control this way as you can resize the shadow to give it a more realistic feel as a shadow would be larger then the original shape.
So the way they should fix this is to also have a setting for the clip as well as a setting for the size of the shadow or if the wish distance from object calculation.
So the feather technique also gives you the option of adjusting the placement of the shadow in a manually tactile manner. You should probably group the two once you finished or make it a symbol as Mordy points t making these types of object symbols are useful
and can come in handy especially if youy want to export to Flash at sometime in the future.
Anyway I am going to add these ideas to my feature request for cast shadows and other enhamcements to the shadow effect.
You can all do so as well.

Drop Shadow on a box - correct size

I am new to Illustrator, and so apologise in advance if this is a daft question.
I need to produce a graphic for a website that is 950 x 120 pixels in size. The graphic is a rectangle box with a stroke outline. I then have a drop shadow on the box.
A picture (not to scale):
My problem is that when I add the drop shadow, I do not know what size the graphic is as the bounding box is inside the area of the drop shadow.
I need the size to be precise.
I need the entire graphic, including the drop shadow, to be the size required of 950 x 120 pixels.
How can I get Illustrator to show the bounding box to be at the bottom of the drop shadow, rather than on the box stroke outline.
Regards, Susan

Thank you very much for your prompt answer. I am very grateful.
