Missing Tint Slider in Illustrator CS5 Colour Palette

Hello
Despite following all the intructions on numerous tutorials/help sections etc I can't get the tint slider to appear in the colour palette.
I'm thinking I might have a bug with my programme. Any ideas? (it's beyond frustrating!!!!)

Kurt, I deleted the prefs, quit and restarted and now it works -
thanks for getting back on this one

  • Missing Fonts in Adobe Illustrator CS5 Version 15.1.0 Agenda Bold and Agenda Black

    Hi,
    We are using Adobe Illustrator CS5 Version 15.1.0  to re-create Points of Sales (PoS) that our 3rd party company sends us. But when we open the PoS from the 3rd Party we get a message saying we are missing 2 fonts. The names of these are Agenda Bold and Agenda Black. Are these Fonts from a newer version of Illustrator or are we able to purchase/download these?
    Any help would be much appreciated!!
    Thanks,

    These are not standard system or Adobe fonts. You will have to buy them from whatever type foundry that produces them.

  • Cannot find tint slider in illustrator

    Hi everyone:
    I'm new to Illustrator and I am trying to find the tint slider. I've done some research and I have insured that it is a spot color and that the global option is checked. I also have all options showing in the panel. I still cannot find the tint slider. If someone could please point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much for your help!

    If you don’t see the Tint slider, make sure that you have a global process color or spot color selected. If you still don’t see the Tint slider, choose Show Options from the Color panel menu.

  • SVG connector lines missing when opened in Illustrator CS5

    It has taken a while to jiggle SVG files saved in Inkscape and get them to open in Illustrator CS5. The files are basically a flow chart with some text and connecting lines between the rectangular boxes.
    Now we are getting  text and rectangular boxes to show when the SVG file is opened in Illustrator.  However, the paths (or connector lines) that show the flow between boxes are not shown.
    The file we are opening has about 10 layers and initially, it looked like just a blank document.  We had to click the top layer in the layer group "on", to see all the layers.  I guess the default is having the top layer "off".
    When opened in a browser, the  connector lines are showing up fine (although the arrow heads are turned sideways).
    Suggestions for getting connector lines to show up in Illustrator?
    Thanks!

    I suppose Inkscapes equivalent of AI's Expand function would be advisable. I'd have to revisit inkscape one of these days, but I believe they are using styles to descripe the conenctors, not genuine objects, hence nothing shows up in programs that don't understand the Inkscape lingo...

  • Can't find the tint slider in Illustrator CC

    Where do I change the tint value of the color in Illustrator CC?
    I don't see the slider in the swatches palette.
    I have A CMYK converted to global and can't see where to adjust the tint value

    It's in the Color pnael, not in swatches.

  • TINTAS PLANAS ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CS5 APARACE LA CONVERSION A LAB, MAC OS

    Hola compañeros estoy probando el  nuevo software Ai cs5,  cuando edito una tinta plana, me aparece por  defecto la conversión abajo en lab,
    lo cambio a cmyk y no me hace  la conversion correcta del cmyk de pantone se muestra en decimales.
    Se puede solucionar o es que ahora lo  hacen así?
    gracias.
    Adjunto imagen de la pregunta

    Disculpa pero a pesar de las imágenes no acabo de entender el objetivo y la forma de hacerlo, tampoco el por qué hacerlo de una forma y no la otras.
    En AI CS5, y en la CS4 al menos, en el panel de Muestras tienes una opción llamada:
    Spot Colors... o Tintas Planas...,
    Al abrirlo te indica cúal método prefieres:
    Que muestra al abrir valores Lab o valores CMYK y que, esto es lo importante: si conviertes los Pantone utilice unos valores, constantes, fijos, para ir a CMYK, con lo cual el color impreso variará bastante segun imprimas entre diferentes procesos de offset, simplemente por los incrementos tonales debidos a la ganancia de punto, ademas de color gamuts, etc.
    Si por el contrario conviertes desde Lab al CMYK adecuado segun la técnica de impresión, como indique un perfil o espacio de color, obtendrás para cada CMYK distintos valores para que en distintos procesos de impresión se alcance un resultado impreso ciertamente similar. Es ese el objetivo?
    Photoshop emplea esta misma filosofía de trabajo y permite combinar Pantones y conversiones de Lab a CMYK  idénticas con las conversiones efectuadas en Illsutrator, cuando conviertes desde Lab al CMYK final. De idéntica forma se puede trabajar en InDesign.
    Importante: Ver Pantones en Ilustrator en Vista de Sobreimpresión.
    Cual debería ser el valor del Pantone Violet C para imprimir en CMYK Fogra 27 (máquina offset plana)?
    A mi me sale 85/95/0/0, (de valor LAb a CMYK de Fogra 27) el valor que sale por contra al escoger CMYK es de 98/100/0/0, en CS4 sale lo mismo, y eso me parece que es azul no un violeta!
    Por cierto en Photoshop en el selector de color (Con un ajuste de color Fogra27 para CMYK) la conversión de LAB (que es un espacio de color de referencia e intercambio) a CMYK es también 85/95/0/0.
    No veo diferencias entre Illustrator CS4 y CS5 en las conversiones a CMYK, por lo que no veo la razon de reemplazar una biblioteca con otra.

  • How do I switch between the tint slider and CMYK slider under the colour palette?

    I have a number of process colours loaded in my swatches palette and when I select a colour and have the colour palette on show it defaults to the tint slider. I have the option from the flyout to change to CMYK but when I do this how do I change back to the tint slider?

    Once you edit the color of the object in the Color panel using the sliders you no longer have the swatch applied because you've change the color as a local override. You could add the new color to swatches, or if your intent is to globally change a swatch you sould do it in the swatch definition dialog.

  • Illustrator CS5 closes the Actions palette

    When I click 'File > New', my Actions palette suddenly vanishes from the workspace. If I re-enable it, it appears in the correct position.
    Sometimes (usually), it is already missing when I start the program.
    I have tried the following but none have cured the problem:
    - Re-saving workspace with original name, and with new name
    - Enabling and disabling Button view in Actions palette
    - Docking the palette to others, and undocking it
    - Moving it to various screen positions
    - Rebooting the PC
    - Spending >1 hour trying to searching for an existing solution using the world's most ineptly-designed support website ...

    I also started having this problem yesterday too. I tried everything from deleting all my fonts except the standard ones, deleting preferences and re-installing but nothing seemed to work.
    I fixed it though by doing the following:
    1. Going here and downloading the "amtlib.dll.rar" file.
    2. Extracting it to a folder on my HD.
    3. Navigating to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5\Support Files\Contents\Windows".
    4. Copying (or cutting) and then pasting the "amtlib.dll" to the above folder overwriting the file that's there (you can back it up before hand if needed).
    I could then startup Illustrator CS5 without any problems. So there seems to be a problem with the "amtlib.dll" file, I don't know whether certain fonts can corrupt it or not but this fixed it for me.
    -Good Luck!!

  • Live Paint Bucket tool Missing in Illustrator CS5

    The Live Paint Bucket tool does not appear in the tools palette in Illustrator CS5. I have looked at other threads which suggest removing the preferences file 'Adobe Illustrator CS5 settings'. I did this and it had no effect. There is no blank space in the palette where the button should be, it is just completely absent, like it was never installed (either that or its hidden somewhere- I'm quite new to Illustrator). However, I can still create a 'live paint group' using 'Objects-live paint-make' in the drop down menu at the top of the screen. it is just the button that is absent, so I can't colour the object. I'm not sure if it the button was ever there as I only installed the software a couple of weeks ago. I only needed it now. I have not yet tried re-installing Illustrator. This is really a last resort. I'm using Windows Vista if that helps.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    The the Shape Builder TLive Paint Bucket tool lives together with the Shape Builder Tool and the Live Paint Selection Tool in one toolgroup. To reach either of them without using a shortcut simply press the tool shown and hold and you will see the other tools and can choose them. That's the method with all tools that have a small black arrow in the bottom righthand corner of its toolbutton., more tools hide in the same group.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS5 Missing tools... Live bucket tool

    Im missing the live paint bucket tool in illustrator CS5, PLEASE HELP! Look at the image below!

    Next time you don't have to go to your Keyboard Shortcuts to find out where the different tools are. Some tools are hidden beneath others. Where you see a small arrow like thing (called a tear-away icon) at the bottom-right of a tool, it means there are other tools lying beneath it. Press & hold on a tool having a tear-away icon to reveal other tools. Eg.,

  • Color and Swatches palette behaviour in Illustrator CS5

    I only use the Swatches palette, but when I click the Tools palette color chips to select between stroke and fill, Illustrator brings up the Color palette by default; I have to go back and re-open the swatches palette - quite tedious.
    Is there any way to change this behaviour?
    I haven't been able to find anything useful in the Help or via Google - probably because I can't describe the issue in a few words!

  • Missing folder: Illustrator CS5 settings

    Hi,
    I was hoping to change the startup file for Illustrator CS5, found out how to do it, but then found out the folder I need is missing!!
    Does anyone know how to reset the settings and bring back this folder?
    So, looking for the folder: Library-->Application Support--->Adobe-->Adobe illustrator CS5. (Adobe Indesign CS5 folder also missing..) -->New Document Profiles
    OSX 10.7.4, Illustrator CS5

    If that folder is not getting created when Illustrator launches, that means you do not have admin privileges to that folder. Can you please verify that your account has admin privileges by taking a screenshot of the Get Info window for the Adobe folder inside your Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/.
    And also please verify you are looking into your users library folder and not the global Library folder.

  • Illustrator CS5: missing Drop shadow

    I can not find it?

    Reset the preferences ;-
    Rename the folder and then check:-
    Windows Vista or Windows 7
    <startup drive>\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings\en_US*
    Note: In Windows XP, the Application Data folder is hidden by default. The same is true for the AppData folder in Windows Vista and Windows 7. To make this folder visible, open Folder Options in Control Panel and click the View tab. In the Advanced Settings pane, select the Show Hidden Files and Folders or Show hidden files, folders, or drives option.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS5 - Missing required plugins.BrS pencil tool/will not open program

    Hi!
    We hve downloaded a trial version of Adobe Illustrator CS5 and we are not able to open it. We followed Step 1 and Step 2 and then opened up the Zip version.I also have Windows Vista Home Premium Copyright 2007.
    Would anyone know how I can access it?

    Reinstall the app with proper admin privileges and also do run it that way. Sounds very much liek mundane permissions issues where some things don't get installed and/or the program cannot establish its user-specific configuration...

  • Illustrator CS5 - Startup profiles missing and crashing on quit

    Have a couple of problems with Illustrator CS5.
    When opening the program a message appears, 'Can't locate startup profiles' Have tried reinstalling the software but problem persists.
    When quitting out of Illustrator I get a message saying the software has crashed. I've loaded up the latest patches etc. but again the problem persists.
    Anyone had the same problem and found a fix?

    Turns out crashing on quit is also a permissions error. Go figure.
    Shout out to Larry G. Schneider for this one:

    Also, shout out to the makers of BatChmod (http://www.macchampion.com/arbysoft/BatchMod). Sets all your permissions in one fell swoop.
    When you open up Illustrator this time, Adobe magically creates a "en_US" folder within the Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings folder that couldn't be added before.
