Image cropped when exporting to PNG

Hello,
I'm trying to export a 24x23px image (seen below magnified) into PNG file.
When I do that at Screen 72ppi, for some reason when it's all done it's cropped (as seen below in the example).
I tried exporting at High 300ppi (in which case nothing is cropped) and then resizing it in Corel Paint Shop, but in that case I have these "shadow effects" at 12 and 3 o'clock of the semicircle... the quality isn't great anyway.
Any idea why AI is cropping? I'm using CS4.
Thanks in advance.

Another example... I have this round button that after exporting has "flat spots" at 3 and 6 o'clock. Please see attachments for example.
I've tried so many things, but I can't make it look perfectly round. I know that it's possible since our company already has other buttons (already in PNG format) in this exact format and they look perfect. But the person who did that isn't here anymore and he most likely used AI CS3 or something earlier.
Thanks

Illustrator CS4 crops my artwork when exporting to png

Illustrator CS4 crops my artwork when exporting to png (it always crops on the right side). It doesn't happen everytime but often enough to be annoying. Sometimes centering my artwork in the artboard solves the problem but not always. Do you have any idea why it's happening, and what I can do to avoid that problem?
(See the attached png)

@Jacob & Mylenium: I don't have any stroked path in my artwork. I've tried to add a no fill/no stroke rectangle (same size as my artwork and then a bit bigger) but it didn't work.
Your advices gave me an idea though: I've added a filled rectangle slightly bigger than my artwork, centered it and dropped its opacity to 0%, it worked.
I'm glad I know that trick now, because even when my artwork wasn't badly cropped, it was touching the edges of the picture (png). Then I had to open it in Photoshop and increase the canvas size in order to leave some transparent space between the artwork and the edges of the picture. Now I can do that in Illustrator
Thanks a lot for your help !

How to make white shapes turn transparent when exporting to .png?

I'm trying to cut out parts of my image with white shapes, but when exporting to .png with transparent backgrounds, the white shapes remain as white shapes instead of becoming transparent and applying the cut.
How do i fix this?
Thanks,
Rokas

Use a mask, most probably an opacity mask should help.

Save error when exporting to PNG in Illustrator using a Macbook with Yosemite

Anybody experience the issue of png being saved with "/" in the beginning of the file name when exporting to png in Illustrator? This only happens when I use my mac not my PC.
Due to the save error my PC cannot identify the files and when the files are linked in Indesign they are not copied when packaging the indesign file.
Any advice on the issue are most appreciated

I don't have a lot of experience with this kind of problem, but the first thing I'd check is the parameter block you're passing the action call. I don't know why it would matter if the dialog appeared or not, unless the export settings block wasn't being filled in with everything it needs?
You might try recording an export you perform manually via the action palette, and then saving it to a file. You can open it up manually and compare it (even if it's a binary block) to what you're doing in code. You might spot something that way.
I don't know what else to suggest though. It's unlikely to be an SDK bug, though it could be a bug in the action-aware part of the exporter.

Color differentiation when exporting to PNG

Hello!
This is just driving me crazy and I'm dying to find a solution. Whenever I export my artboards to the PNG format, I receive a slight change in the bitmap colorization.
In Illustrator, my colors are perfect, but when exporting to PNG, the end result shows an increase in color vibrance - making a light blue (for example) show as slightly more turquoise/sharper light blue.
Example:
(This is a screenshot capture. Illustrator artboard is on the left hand side, the exported PNG example is on the right hand side.)
So, my question is if I am doing something wrong with my color settings?
My settings have been set in my Adobe Bridge to:
Europe General Purpose 3
RGB Space: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
CMYK Space: Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647-2:2004)
PS: I constantly switch between creating graphics that are used for the web and other on-screen web applications (such as GUI's) and printed booklets and posters, etc. I've always had immense trouble finding a perfect working space with web and printed material. If anyone has an advice for color settings or some kind of best-practice working environment to create consistent color, I would be very appreciative.
Thank you!

Chrome is not a color managed browser. From the several browsers I have installed on my pc only Firefox has color management capabilities that can match the color with the Adobe color managed programs.
You have to understand that there are color and non-color managed programs. Non-color managed programs always display the colors with the color space of your monitor. Take for example a color recorded in the file say, pure red R=255, G=0, B=0. The non-color managed program will send to your video card the same number and your monitor will display the most saturated red it is physically capable of. When a color managed program reads this value, first it checks the color space of the document, which can be defined with a color profile, a soft proofing color space, or when there is no color profile with the color settings set for the working space. Then it checks the color space of your monitor which is defined in your system and translates the values from the color space of the document to the color space of your monitor which can result in a different value other than 255, 0, 0 sent to your video card. In other words color management is simulating on your monitor a color space different than your monitor's color space. The result from this is different color displayed by color managed and non-color managed programs when reading the same file.
You can't make non-color managed programs to match a color managed programs, but you can make the color managed program match the non - color managed programs on your monitor by setting you document color space to the color space of your monitor. To do that from the Edit menu, choose Assign Profile and select the color profile of your monitor. This will match the color in Illustrator to the color displayed by the non-color managed programs. This in effect turns the color management off because the color management is translating between the same color spaces which results in zero difference.
However have in mind that this is not a very professional way of working with color and it only ensures a color consistency between color managed and non-color managed programs on your current monitor. What color you are actually creating that others will see or the color that will print is unpredictable with this setup.

What resolution do I choose when exporting a png?

I Have created a vector graphic that will be used as an app screen. My document size is 1080 x 1920 (HDTV 1080). When exporting to png, should the resolution be 300 or 72?

I chose the HD configuration because it was the same dimensions I am required to work in, that is 1080 x 1920 for an Android screen.
Can you point me in the right direction to these developer guides? My background is in print, not web, so I have asked this question on the forum in order to receive some practical guidance.
Thanks!

Why is my raw image cropped when I reopen it?

why is my raw image cropped when I reopen it?

When you edit a RAW file, any changes you made are stored in a Sidecar file with the same file name, but with a .xmp extension. If you find and delete that sidecar file, then the RAW file will open uncropped. But, you only have to select the Crop tool in ACR, and the crop window with handles will appear, so you can change the crop. Or having sellected the crop tool in ACR, the escape key wil cause your image to revert to full size.

IPhoto Slideshow Image Quality when export to IDVD

Aloha ... I have two issues that I am having problems with when I export to IDVD. My images look very fuzzy (originals are very high res and print quality images} when exported to iDVD and a DVD is made. Also in the show my vertical images look fine and fill the screen yet on iDVD they are made shorter/squatier and upper and lower parts of the original image are lost. The format is wide screen as is the show. I am using a LCD wide screen TV if that helps. Any ideas out there?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you cropping your photos to the 16:9 ratio before creating the widescreen slideshow in iPhoto and exporting them to iDVD for a widescreen project? Most digital camera images are in the 4:3 size ratio and don't convert well to the widescreen. Also check the aspect ratio that you're playing the dvd in as that can have an effect on how the slideshow looks.
Also remember that the images going to iDVD will be reduced to 640 x 480 (normal TV) and slightly larger for the widescreen version. So the pixel dimensions of the original image are not that relevant.
Happy Holidays
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Image distortion when exporting

Hi all,
I'm experiencing off and on problems when exporting RAW images from LR 3.3 to JPG. (on MacBook Pro Snow leopard 10.6.6)
I am using Camera Raw 6.3.
Original RAW images taken with Canon 550D.
This is what happens:
Original Result
It doesn't matter if I resize or not, change quality of the JPG, sharpen or not, whatever.
11 out of 140 images go wrong, the others are exported ok. Not every 11th image either.
Exporting 1 by 1 no difference.
What's wrong here? Has anybody had this before?
Maybe connected: I have taken a lot of pictures of an ice hockey game some time ago. During import I've seen that some of the images imported had a similar problem. During importing I first saw a normal image, but it was changed to something simular at the end. I thought that was the memory card, as I was shooting multiple shots, low light, high iso.
Thanks in advance
gr. Paul

In addition: I just switched in LR from "library" to "develop" and the image on screen switched from the before and after image in the original post!
I have edited this picture before in LR, have cut the paiting out of it's environment, no other corrections. Probably I edited this one with an earlier version of LR.
Changed to original image, only the crop boundaries disappear, same crazy image...
And now in the library too, of course.
Is it possible that when you copy pictures from one drive to another that RAW files get damaged?
As in copy from camera to diskdrive (import LR) or from internal drive to external drive (as I did from Finder)?

Image aliasing when exporting print PDF at 300 ppi (bicubic downsampling)

Hello,
i am trying to describe a problem which persists since version CS3 of InDesign. It's about aliased edges in images in a certain angle; occuring when exporting the brochure as PDF file (at 300 ppi). The placed images are always at a higher quality than needed (for example 780 ppi effective). The aliasing is not there when opening the original image files in photoshop (viewing at 100%).
The PDF export settings are:
- Compression: Bicubic downsampling to300 ppi for images above 350 ppi (for color images, grayscale images and monochrome images)
- Crop Image data to frames
- Marks: Crop Marks and Page Information
- Output: No Color Conversion
- Advanced: Transparency Flattener: High Resolution
- Compatibility: Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3)
- PDF /X-3:2002
Below are two screenshots
- The left one was the original image, downsampled to 216 mm in width using automatic bicubic downsampling
- The right one is the result when exporting a InDesign Document with the same width to a PDF with the mentioned settings
Downsampled in Photoshop CS6 to 216 mm width
Exported from InDesign CS6 with mentioned settings
I have no clue what happens here, but it looks like the internal downsampling of InDesign CS6 is not very good.
When i write a PostScript file of the brochure and put it in Distiller (with the same PDF Preset as above), the image looks like the one made with Photoshop. So this problem has to lie somwhere deep in InDesign or it's settings.
Anybody with similar experiences?

Something about your test looks off. The export from ID and export from PS PDFs are both zoomed at 1200%, but the export from ID vrsion is 90% smaller.
Yeah I noticed that I actually had the image in InDesign scaled @ 90%, so the effective ppi was around 650. I get the same jagged results when I use anything other than a 300 or 600 effective ppi. Whereas if I use a 650ppi image in Photoshop and export to PDF, it downsamples smoothly.
Rob Day wrote:
The diagonal lines in your test are 1 pixel so at 300ppi to an offset press at 150lpi, the lines would be less than a halftone dot so I'm pretty sure you would need a loupe to see any difference. Maybe with a stochastic screen there would be better resolution but still difficult to see. So if the printing is that good I would just export without down sampling. With disk space running at 15 cents a gigabyte there's not much to gain with a downsample.
It becomes noticeable with some images more than others, but I'm printing a lot of images of buildings and drawings with sharp lines that converge to a point, or are distinguishable in the full size image but indistinguishable when downsampled. This can introduce distracting patterns when they aren't downsampled smoothly, something like this:
Unfortunately the printers near me aren't very good, so I'm having things printed online, and this particular printer (blurb.com - for a small job) won't accept large PDFs without compressed/downsampled images :/ I'm making 300dpi versions of the really crucial images for the time being, but I'm hoping there is a better solution!
The other issue is exporting the PDF for use on the web, either as a download or on an online PDF viewer like issuu.com. The two PDFs on the right side of my test look much better in these situations. Is there any disadvantage to using Distiller to make my PDFs for this purpose using the Device Independent setting? I don't have any special interactive elements.

Poor image quality when exporting a report to Word

Hi,
We are developing an application where users can download exported Word 2003 or PDF documents generated by Crystal Reports. The problem is that when the format type in the export options is set to Word for Windows the quality of the images in the document degrades immensely. The PDF images are looking fine though.
Literally, the only difference between the two exports is that only one of these lines executes depending on what the user selects when exporting the report.
crxReport.ExportOptions.FormatType = CRAXDRT.CRExportFormatType.crEFTPortableDocFormat;
crxReport.ExportOptions.FormatType = CRAXDRT.CRExportFormatType.crEFTWordForWindows;
I am using Crystal Reports 10.0. Upgrading to Service Pack 6 did not seem to solve the problem. This service pack resolves a similar problem that occurs with PDFs but it's Word documents we're having trouble with. The project we are working on is a .NET 1.1 project and it is hosted in a machine running Windows 2003 Standard Edition with Service Pack 2.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Other than that, as Ido recommended, despite the difficulties of the number of parameters, see if exporting from the CR designer is any different. If it is not, we're fighting a lost battle. Alternatively, you could create a new report in the CR designer, no database connection needed. Insert an image, export.

Images cropped when printing

In Photoshop Elements 10, when I attempt to print 5X7 images on an 8.5X11 sheet in landscape mode, it reduces the image size to 3.5X4 and crops the image. The image appears correct in the print preview, but reduces and crops when printed. I have printed on both my Epson and my HP with the same results. If I open the image in Photoshop 7, it prints fine. Can anyone help?

Can you post a screen shot of your Print dialog from Photoshop Elements, it sounds like a setting might be off.

Image Swapping When Exporting to PDF

I am using Crystal Reports 10 Java Reporting Component deployed on Websphere v6.0. I am using the ExportControl to export my report directly to a PDF. So the user fills out a form and submits and then a child window pops up containing the report in PDF format. Pretty simple application. The problem is that I have about 5 different graphics embedded in my .rpt file and when the export to PDF occurs the report will swap the images around randomly. One out of about every 5 requests has the images where they belong otherwise the images are substituted for one another. Also there is no pattern to the swapping...completely random. I have scoured the internet and I've seen nothing related to this issue. I am praying that someone will have a clue because I am completely out of options.

I had the same issue in the version that ships with Visual Studio.Â I finally figured out that the subreports and the main report had images.Â When I added the images to both the subreport and main report I left the default name that the application assigned.Â Unfortunately, because the subreport and main report are independent during the drag and drop creation they choose the same name for the image.Â
To fix your problem, just give each image a distinct name!
Â It worked for me, hope it works for you.
Â All the best,
Jonathon

Why am I losing crop when exporting from LR (?)

Hi. I'm a newbie to LR and am stumped trying to figure something out (Yes, I've checked all through the forums). I've made some adjustments to a bunch of photos in LR3--contrast, brightness, etc. I've also cropped them to 5x7s. When I export as a JPEG to a separate folder on my Mac, or when I choose to edit in Photoshop using the "Edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments" command, the photos show up with all the LR adjustments... EXCEPT for the crop. The photos are showing up in the Mac folder and in Photoshop as their original photo size, i.e. their size when I imported them into LR from my card.
What am I missing or doing wrong? When I export the photos, why aren't they showing up in a separate location or in Photoshop with the 5x7 crop that I performed in LR3?
thanks in advance .. this is driving me nuts.

I think more information is needed... Can you post a screen shot from LR and PS showing the crop differences?
As the previous poster said, size is not an issue here, don't worry that your 5"x7" crop comes out as 20x28" in PS, if that is your issue.
That said, however, if you've cropped an image, when you export it the image should look the same. Printing can be different, though, depending on how you are printing. So let's stick with export/crop to start with!
Please post a couple of sceen shots, one showing LR and the crop you picked, and then one in PS after "edit in PS with LR adustments" done.
Cheers!
