New Live Effect which Recolors Brushes

I'd like to see a new Live Effect in Illustrator that works like Photoshop's "Color" layer style and After Effects' "Fill" effect.
This would be very useful for easily changing the color or an applied brush stroke in AI.
E.g. Say I have a square that has a Pattern Brush applied to its stroke. The brush has a lot of goofy colors, etc.
I'd like to make the colorful pattern stroke match the color of the fill.
If I could just apply a "color" or "fill" effect to the stroke then I wouldn't have to Expand it and loose editability with it.
It would also be nice if this new effect could be applied to the object as a whole over all fills and strokes to quickly make a silhoutte type effect.
I know that you can take an object and just group it and can then apply a new Live Fill to the group. But this only works if there are no Strokes involved.

TCSystems,
You could try to reinstall using the full three step way:
Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

Obviously, this is a silly suggestion, but it may solve a possible even sillier issue of having a corrupt installation right from the beginning.

Better alignment tool or a new live effect align/distribute

Alignment is unchanged since the old days of AI. We need a smarter way to align objects or distribute objects.
IDEA
SMART ALIGN=auto align feature in AI
Old way:
if you want to center an object (text box) to a previously selected area (between two objects) we make a RECTANLGLE as a reference and we align horizontal centers.
This is tedious.
If the text box gets bigger or smaller you need to correct the size of the rectangle.
And again and again…
THE TEXT BOX NEEDS TO REALIGNS TO THE PREVIOUSLY SELECTED OBJECT. a checkbox should be given as an option for auto alignment.

I repaired permissions using my computer disk utility AND from my install DVD. Still not working! I also did a PRAM, that I read about on the internet...

Live effects pattern overlay

I'm trying the PhotoShop LIve Effects in Fireworks CS4, and trying Pattern Overlay. My problem is I only see controls for Opacity and Scale, not to change the pattern. There is only one pattern, which isn't very useful. I tried changing to another pattern in the main Properties but that doesn't change the single pattern in live effects, which looks like big bubbles. Am I missing something here?

Photoshop Live effects are more of a way to maintain existing Photoshop Layer Styles when a PSD file is opened in FW. Yes, they are of limited use, but they are functional. For example, the Stroke Live Effect is a feature that is not available in Fireworks. Very handy if you want to add a stroke around a bitmap image.

Live Mirroring - when using Brush

Hi people,
I was wondering is there is any way/plugin/fastest workaround to achieve the Live-Mirroring (left=Right) update effect when using Brush to paint?
Similar to the realtime mirror feature in Corel Painter.

Well, this is not a feature I miss (ultimately is seems more of an illustration task than a photo editing one) but sometimes it can appear mystifying which feature requests the product teams seem to pick up or not.
But one has to consider that even if they should be working on such a feature they might not be able to speak about it before the official announcement.

Alien Skin Live Effects

Hi,
In my business I make heavy use of Alien Skin plug-ins.
Problem is, live effects don't work anymore. The filters from the
top pull-down menu works, but that's not a live effect.
Suddenly, making revisions to customer demands will be very
hard. Alien Skin claims this is a bug in CS3, and they can't fix
it. Is anyone aware of this, and is it being worked on?
This is really important to me, and I just have to imagine
it's important to a whole host of other people too.
Any information is appreciated.
Thanks,
Dugan M.

Do you have the full version, or the stripped down version
which used
to install in FW 8 and earlier?

Adobe Live Effects are not supported 100%. Why?

Using FW CS3 for Web designs.
As most of you know, you can implement some Photoshop Live
Effects inside FW CS3 but not 100%.
I am curious why?
For example, in FW CS3, when I try to implement "Satin"
effect to a button, my preferences are limited compared to Photosop
version. In Photosop you can select a preset contour and you can
change the blend mode. But in FW you can only change angle,
distance, color, size and opacitiy.
And same thing goes for other effects. They don't have same
options, and they don't create same effect with PS CS3.
I am asking this because I used strictly FW for my Web
designs, but now I see that I can create much cooler buttons in PS
CS3, which is mainly a photo editor :/
Is there any way to make it 100% PS compatible?
Thanks.

Based on the timing, I suspect that development of FW CS3 was
started
before Adobe and Macromedia merge. So the fact that they are
not 100%
compatible does not look surprizing to me. Probably it will
change in the
future. Take into account that PS and FW are rather big
projects, they
cannot be fully re-coded in a minute.

Live Effects on images that crossover gutter.

I have a 156 page job with facing pages that was created in Indd CS4. It has many instances where images are placed which crossover the gutter. The images have some transparency effects applied. Basic Feather and/or Inner Glow, so the outside perimeter of the image fades to paper. When we print or export pdfs as single pages it breaks the image at the gutter and then applies the effects to both the left and right hand halves of the image adjacent to the gutter so when impose for print there is a white feathered area running vertically through the gutter.
The solution is NOT to print in spreads. If this was a simpler job I could do that. This is a fairly complicated imposition and the pages are in 32 separate files. Anyone know a setting to keep the live effects from applying to the center of the image when single pages are created?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Oh I got around it easily enough. Just cropped it down in Acrobat.
But still... See images below. Exported with bleed & without bleed.
Though today, found a solution! Simple enough - just fill those image boxes white (& extend the boxes further out so no shadow in the bleed).
Wtf? Even with images bleeding off, the shadow snaps to the trim box when exporting a PDF with no bleed!? And all it takes is a fill of white instead a fill of none....

IPhoto 5.0.4 has suddenly stopped working. It loads the photo library and then freezes. Rebuilding the library has no effect which has about 3.5MB of data. PowerBook G4 OS 10.5.8

Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Live effects such as Drop shadow and blurs convert to flatten images with giant clipping masks preventing edits?

Without reason and at great costs, live effects convert to unusable web style graphics. This is not photoshop. Is adobe moving to kill Illustrator in favor of PhotoShop style web graphics? Suddenly every time I open a template the drop shadow or Gaussian blur has been converted to transparent overlay with a giant opacity mask applied. In trying to repair the damage by releasing the opacity mask the whole graphic jumps to a black square? Not all of the effects do this, just newer templates. I first thought because a fellow artist creates her graphics in RGB work space that this was the cause. It is not. Now randomly this happens. What am I doing wrong that causes this.

No they are ones my company creates for products we carry. We print on the items. I need to center logos on the items and not the items and the shadow. I also need to update the items as time goes by. It used to be as simple as open the file and make the needed changes. Now I have to start from scratch on the items that self convert. Any time a computer file self converts to a different type of file you have a problem. Only certain templates have morphed like this. I'm sure it's something I'm not catching.

A PROBLEM WITH Live Effect Suite

I just using the TwirlFilter to learn the Live effect suite. just find a problem in it. when aply an effect the "AI Live Effect Go Live" will be call twice!!!!
the first was called when
error =sLiveEffect->UpdateParameters( pb->context );
is run
the other was when finished doing it.and this time the message' artwork is a little at rect at the bottom of the page which was don't creat by user!!!!!
so ,how can igore it?
and I just don't know how to use ExecuteLiveEffect, EditParameters.anyone who can send me am example about it ? thank your very much!
and Merry CHRISTMAS.

The second time, it is being called to render the thumbnail being displayed in the appearance palette. If you hide the appearance palette or hide the thumbnail (choose "Hide Thumbnail" from the palette's flyout menu), then you should see the second call disappear. Most live effects have no reason to ignore it.
Hope that helps,

Photoshop-Live-Effect: outer Glow Question

Hello everybody
Well after my positive impression about my first Post here, I hope, that someone can help me again.
My problem is: In the Photoshop-Live-Effects, Category "Outer Glow" (Äußeres Glühen) is in the Part "Quality" (Qualität) the Option "random value" (Zufallswert).
Well, when would be this option works?
In Photoshop does this function only works, if the outer glow has a gradient, but that is in Fireworks not possible, as far as I know...

Photoshop Live Effects are still new to me, as I just recently upgraded from Fireworks 8. This post from Jim Babbage echoes what Linda just said about them (that is, they help to maintain continuity between Photoshop and Fireworks):
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2862805#2862805
The case of "Jitter" is interesting though. It can only be applied in Photoshop and only if the gradient option is chosen. Yet when I tried this, and then opened the PSD file in Fireworks, the appearance was maintained but none of the correct settings appeared in the Photoshop Live Effects dialog. And adjusting the settings had no effect either. That doesn't really fit my idea of a "live" effect. In fact, it seems more like a flattened effect—except that its editibility is maintained if the file is reopened in Photoshop.
Maybe they should call them Photoshop "hibernating" effects. ("They're not dead—they're just asleep!")
Clearly, there's room for improvement here. It begs the question: Why include a slider for something that can neither be created nor adjusted in the application? (Of course, I'd rather they figure out a way to add support for gradients here than just remove the slider.)

I have a new email address which I have had verified, but when I try to update an app it asks for my password with the old email address and always comes back telling me it is an incorrect password.

I Have a new email address which I have entered into settings and it has been verified. I no longer have the old email address. When I try to update an app, it comes up with my old email address and asks for my password. It always comes back with a message that the password is incorrect. What do I do to fix this?

I spend good money for my iPhone i have the iPhone 5 with the new charger slot which is smaller. I have been through at least 3 charging cords and this is not acceptable to me. i never had a problem with this on my older phone. apple needs to correct this and reimburse me for this cord.

My macbook pro recently got swiped and I lost all my data, problem is, just before it was swiped I set up my new iphone 5 which transferred all my photos and music over which is no longer on the computer. What will happen to my phone if I plug it in?

I have a new Apple TV which is working fine except that I cannot access .mov files which are in my iTunes Library. How can I get to these? I can run them on my computer and select Apple TV on the screen, but the Apple TV goes to a black screen

Mov is a container format, you'd need to look at the codec used by the movie file inside the container to know whether it will work with the Apple TV or not.
