Need help with white spaces/halos when creating PNG

I'm using Illustrator CS6 on Windows 7. I'm trying to create some pushpins that will go on an online map. I've created the graphic in Illustrator and everything looks nice and sharp. My problem is when I try to convert this .ai file to png. The ai file is set up on 8.5 x 11 artboard with the graphic taking up the whole artboard; the final size of the png needs to be 20x34 pixels at 72 dpi.
I've tried both Save for Web and Export but no matter what I do, when I open the png in Photoshop, there is a white space between the grey pushpin and the black stroke as well as around the outside of the S. No matter what I've tried, I can't get rid of these unwanted white spaces/halos. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? The large image below is how it looks in Illustrator; the small image is the png opened in Photoshop. How can I get the small png to be as crisp as the large ai file? Thanks.

mc-mark,
Are you sure the artwork is contained within whole pixels on the Artboard?
One way to obtain that is to move the artwork so that the Transform panel tells you that the X and Y values of the lower left corner (or centre or something else) are whole pixels/points; another way is to tick Align to Pixel grid  in the Transform panel, but I am afraid that may distort the artwork when used at this stage.

  • I need Help with a website I've created

    I need help with a website I've created (www.jonathanhazelwood.com/lighthouse) I created the folowing site with dreamweaver at my current resolution 1366 by 768. Looks great on my screen resolution but if it is viewed on other resolutions the menu moves and some of the text above and below. How can I keep all content centered and working like it does on 1366 by 768 on all resolutions. The htm to my site is below I started off with a blank template through dreamweaver CS5.

    1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the div. The elements within this div have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.

    Look at all the apdiv's you have.  Those are absolutely positioned layers.  I'm assuming by your post that you are very new to Dreamweaver and HTML and CSS.  I would highly recommend not using absolutely positioned layers until you have a better grasp on HTML and CSS.
    Looking at your code I would suggest that you consider using one of Dreamweaver's built in, or downloadable templates as a starting point and work from there.

  • Need Help with Java Space Invaders Game!

    Hi, im new to these forums so forgive if i dont follow the right way on laying things out. Im trying to create space invaders game but im stuck when im trying to create multiple aliens/ invaders. I have a class called Aliens (which is the invaders), and i can create an instance of an Alien. But when I try to create multiple instances they are not showing up on screen. I am not getting any error message though (which im hoping is a good sign, lol).
    GamePanel is where all the action is and Alien is the alien (invaders) class.
    Here is the code:
    import java.awt.; import javax.swing.; import java.awt.Image; import java.awt.event.KeyListener; import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
    public class GamePanel extends JComponent implements KeyListener { SpaceInvaders game; static Player player1; Aliens alien1; static public Image spaceship2R; static public Image spaceship2L;
    public GamePanel(SpaceInvaders game)
         this.game = game;
         player1 = new Player(this);
         player1.start();
                   ///// trying to create multiple instances of aliens here
         for(int i=0; i<4; i++)
              alien1 = new Aliens(this);
              alien1.setX(i*100);
              alien1.start();
        this.setFocusable(true);
        this.addKeyListener(this);
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
         Image pic1 = player1.getImage();
         Image pic2 = alien1.getImage();
         super.paintComponent(g);
         g.drawImage(pic1, player1.getX(), player1.getY(), 50, 50,this);
         g.drawImage(pic2, alien1.getX(), alien1.getY(), 50, 50,this);
    }//end class
    import java.awt.Image; import java.awt.*;
    class Aliens extends Thread { //variables GamePanel parent; private boolean isRunning; private int xPos = 0, yPos = 0; Thread thread; static char direction = 'r'; Aliens alien; static public Image alien1; static public Image alien2;

    Maybe the array I have created is not being used in the paint method, or Im working with 2 different objects as you put it? Sorry, Im just learning and I appreciate your time and help. Here is my GamePanel Class and my Aliens class:

  • Need help with an error message when making changes to an IMAP account

    I have several IMAP accounts in my Mac Mail. Today when I tried to edit the, "Full Name" associated with the account I got an error message that said:
    Invalid Directory
    The account path /Users/kristen/Library/Mail/[email protected]@host365.ISPhost.com is already being used by the account "Silver"
    Did I somehow corrupt something? I'm not sure why making this small change to the full name would cause such an error. Please help.
    Thanks!!

    stop() forcibly kills a thread. You shouldn't use this method because if the thread is in a critical section of code, you can cause data corruption or deadlock.
    Instead, if you need to stop execution from another thread, invoke the interrupt() method.
    Good luck.

  • Need help with optimizing text appearance when exporting video

    Here's what I'm trying to do:
    1. Convert a Powerpoint presentation to an MP4 (AVC) file, frame rate 30 (actually defaults to 29.97) and video bit rate of 1200kbps,using Wondershare PPT2VideoPro.  (There are no actual video clips contained in the original PPT file).
    2. Import the newly created MP4 video into a new project in Premeire Elements.
    3. Add audio files (WAV) created by Audacity.
    4. Export the final product as a video.
    Here's the problem:
    The text quality in the final exported film is very poor, and the screen occasionally seems to sublty flicker once and a while.  I've tried multiple different settings, but all with the same result.
    Can anyone offer suggestions on optimal settings for exporting the final product such that the text is as clear as possible?  (The text in the MP4 file created by Wondershare looks great.)
    Thanks!
    - Ernest

    One option would be to create the Text Images in Photoshop, and Save_As a PSD.
    For large sets of Titles, I do the text portion in Word/WordPerfect, so I can use Spell-Check. Then in PS, I just Copy/Paste the text into an Image, where I apply all of the PS Styles that I need. Because I use PrPro for most of my NLE work, I will often do the Titles with Layered Text, and Import those as a Sequence, so that the Layers are not Flattened. This allows me to independently animate each Layer, as I need. Unfortunately, PrE does not allow one to Import the Layered PSD's, Unflattened, as it does not have Sequences.
    Also note that PrE's Titler's Styles are just a starting point. Once applied, one can alter most aspects, and when they are satisfied with the changes, they can then Save the new Style and re-use it over and over. Do not forget the ability to modify those Styles.
    From PowerPoint, and this depends on the version, the best that one can usually do is to Export each "slide" as a TIFF, and Import those into the NLE program.
    Good luck,

  • Newbie Needs Helps With Storage Space

    I just recently recieved an ipod for Christmas. My biggest problem is I have an old computer without a lot of space. How do I upload my CD collection without completely maxing out what left of my hard drive?? I don't have any nifty USB portable hard drives or anything. I guess the same question goes for all my downloaded music..
    How can I just keep music on the ipod and not on my computer??

    You need to manually manage your songs.
    Here's how:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61148
    VERY IMPORTANT:: Make sure your music is backed up to some other external media. CD, DVD, external HD, something! Especially your purchased music, if any.
    Having your music only on your iPod is VERY RISKY. There may come a time when your iPod has trouble and will need to be restored. It may also get lost, stolen, dropped, etc. If you only have your music on your iPod and something happens to it... your music is gone.

  • Need Help With Disk Space Issue

    I am trying to free up some disk space on my MacBook Pro. Here is what I have in terms of usage of personal files:
    Music: 24.7 gb
    Pictures: 9.92 gb
    Documents: .379 gb
    Applications: 9.25 gb
    This totals 44.249 gb
    My capacity is listed as 111.47 gb. The problem is that I am showing only 11.96 gb available. I don't understand why there is so much gab between what is listed above and the capacity. I realize the System files, Application Support, etc. use a fair amount, but it still seems like I should have more space. I have run Onyx to clear caches, optimize, etc., and that has helped, but only marginally. Are there large files somewhere I am not aware of? I have an iDisk, but I have iDisk Synching off, so there should not be a copy of it on my computer, unless tere is an old oe lurking somewhere. Thanks a lot for any suggestions.

    I'll give a very plain answer :P
    My Movies folder has a 10 gb size, my Library folder has 5.83 gb, my root Library has 10.89 gb, my System folder has 4.2 gb. I believe there is much more than the basic folders that eats your HDD away.
    I don't know if my folders size are normal, but I do know that adding only your basic folders won't give you the real amount of disk used. In my case I have 20.92 gb of space. I would also look the size of the Downloads folder and the Mail folder (in your home/Library/Mail I have 3.5 GB in one account only!)
    Hope this helps!
    One last thing, not so long ago I saw a post about someone who found a file that was huge, the file was because he let the computer working overnight testing if it ran correctly by letting chess computer vs computer play all night. The game created an enormous file (I believe it was the nbook.db file in username/Library/Application Support/Chess/)
    OR... use what Matt Clifton recommends jajaja... seems like a better idea :P

    you can't use the button itself if you want to maintain the
    DOWN state after
    release as button automatically resets itself once the mouse
    lives the HIT zone.
    Use movie clip instead and on press simply send it to a frame
    where there
    is DOWN state like image.

  • I need help with creating PDF with Preview...

    Hello
    I need help with creating PDF documetns with Preview. Just a few days ago, I was able to create PDF files composed of scanned images (notes) and everything worked perfectly fine. However, today I was having trouble with it. I scanned my notebook and saved 8 images/pages in jpeg format. I did the usual routine with Preview (select all files>print>PDF>save as PDF>then save). Well this worked a few days ago, but when I tried it today, I was able to save it, but the after opening the PDF file that I have saved, only the first page was there. The other pages weren't included. I really don't see anything wrong with what I'm doing. I really need help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I can't find it.  I went into advanced and then document processing but no batch sequence is there and everything is grayed out.
    EDIT: I realized that you cant do batch sequences in standard.  Any other ideas?

How do I reset this if I cant log in? When I try to press online the same thing pops up and I have no way of logging in or asking for help.

    Hi,
    iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
    However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
    In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
    AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat  (Until the 30th June 2014)
    As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
    Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
    Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
    About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
    If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
    In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
    Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
    Navigate to Preferences.
    (If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
    Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
    Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.

  • I need help with color pallette in iPhoto 11. I have created a book and would like to use a different color background than those given in "background." I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.

    I need help with color pallette in iPhoto 11. I have created a book and would like to use a different color background than those given in "background." I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.

    That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
    Additionally I have no idea what you are saying here
    I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.
    And it always helps for you to dientify the version of iPhoto that you are using

    I don't use ABA but BouncyCastle
    this could help you :
    try
    java.security.Security.addProvider(new org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider());
    java.security.KeyPairGenerator kg = java.security.KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA","BC");
    java.security.KeyPair kp = kg.generateKeyPair();
    java.security.Key pub = kp.getPublic();
    java.security.Key pri = kp.getPrivate();
    System.out.println("pub: " + pub);
    System.out.println("pri: " + pri);
    byte[] pub_e = pub.getEncoded();
    byte[] pri_e = pri.getEncoded();
    java.io.PrintWriter o;
    java.io.DataInputStream i;
    java.io.File f;
