Newbie ?, alpha setting when paste in place

Hi, I am teaching myself flash. I am creating smiley faces and then copying them to a banner. I have two fla files open, one has the smiley in it and some layers of the smiley are made up of areas with a alpha setting of less then 100%.
When I highlight all of the smiley and copy, then move to the other other open fla file that has a blue banner, and 'paste' the smiley pastes ok but all the areas that have an alpha setting of less than 100% have a blue shade to them from the banner. How do I prevent this and retain the colours I had?
Thanks

This is because it is transperent, so it shows what's behind it. You can give them %100 Alpha from the Color drop-down list in the properties panel to remove the Alpha or just choose None.
If you want similar look of transparency on the other file, try to use Brightness instead of Alpha from the Color drop-down list.
Hope this helps!!

When importing images in Pages, how do I set the default object placement to "stay on page" and "no text wrap"?

when importing images in Pages, how do I set the default object placement to "stay on page" and "no text wrap"?

Then use a Layout template.
I am a designer and I use Word Processing templates with layout breaks and all the other tools available because Layout templates are just WP templates with a lot of options removed.
Pages is not Indesign, but then Indesign is not Pages, …and Pages 5 is not Pages '09.
Unless your flyers are for the Web, why are you using Pages at all?
I am curious, what does your post have to do with the O.P.'s question? …and why are you posting it here?

Textbox corrupted when dublicating page or using paste in place

As is visible below some of the text boxes are corrupted, when dublicating page (or using paste in place)
All settings on the text-boxes remain the same - however, the text is repositioned so that it is no longer inside the text box.

Very sorry to hear you're encountering some very unusual (and bad) behavior working with Muse. What you're describing doesn't sound like anything I've heard reported before, but it sounds more like a bug than anything you're doing wrong. If it is a bug, it's probably specific to the one composition widget in your file. Could you send us the .muse file so we can take a closer look?
Please send us the .muse file at [email protected] along with a link to this thread. If the file is larger than 20Mb you can use a service like Adobe SendNow, Dropbox, WeTransfer, etc. (If you use a service, please include your return e-mail address in the body of the message, since not all services include it in the sharing invite they send.)

How do you "Paste In Place" in javascript?

I'm seeing a problem when running copy merged and then paste from script. If there is no alpha component in the mask, it looks like photoshop internally crops the layer to useful content. Then when you paste, it pastes only the useful content meaning meanin it's translated so pixels at the top and left have content. This is really stupid default behavior. However, the UI has a way to work around this, you run Edit | Paste In Place and it keeps the translation component it figured out when running copy merged. Great.
Unfortunately since I'm working from script I don't see a way of running Paste In Place as it is not in the commands exposed on Document. I tried looking at the javascript recording and there appears to be nothing output for that specific command. Argh! Does anyone know if photoshop has a way to script this?
Otherwise, I'm gonna have to look at a completely different way of recording out this stuff.
Thanks,
Adrian

Before copying the merged layer to the clipboard try getting the layers bounds to get size and location.
var startRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS; // tell ps to work with pixels
var LB = app.activeDocument.activeLayer.bounds;
app.activeDocument.selection.selectAll()
app.activeDocument.selection.copy()
var selectedRegion = Array(Array(LB[0].value,LB[1].value),Array(LB[2].value,LB[1].value),Array(LB[2].value,LB[ 3].value),Array(LB[0].value,LB[3].value));
app.activeDocument.selection.select(selectedRegion); //select area to paste into
app.activeDocument.paste(true); // [paste into] true
app.preferences.rulerUnits = startRulerUnits;

Paste in place (In front of object selected)

I am running Illustrator CC 2014 and a useful tool that I go to frequently is Paste in Place (Ctrl + F). In older versions of Illustrator when using 'Paste in Place' you could copy an object, select any other particular object, hit CTRL + F, and the copied object would then be placed just in front of the object previously selected. Now, when I 'Paste in Place' it places the object in front of all, instead of at the designated place in a layer's order. Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is "Remember layer" checked in the layer panel's menu? (Monika Gause Sep 18, 2014 10:00 AM)
Ah HA!
I'm working through the Illustrator Classroom in a Book for AI CS6 in the Perspective Drawing section and had this problem. A very easily overlooked setting. Resetting the Workspace DOESN'T clear this. It's apparently saved in the AIPrefs file.

Paste-in Place not working

Hello,
I have been having some problems with past in place for a while.
Sometimes this function works perfectly others when I copy (shift+command+c) and try to paste ex an icon into another artboard it simply pastes it in the same artboard, even thought I have the correct artboard selected.
Sometimes it simply pastes in some random artboard.
Do you think you can help out with this, would much appreciate it.
Thanks,
Ana

shift+command+c? what do you have that set as? in my shortcuts that's Centre Text. copy is just command + c.
I don't know if you're doing this or not without observing, but the artboard you have selected when you copy the object is relevant as well as the one selected when you paste.

Adobe Indesign "copy & paste" oder "place"

Ich habe da mal so eine Frage bezüglich des Einbettens von Bildern in Indesign...Ich kann es gerade selber nicht überprüfen, da ich nur Indesign über die Schule benutze. Die Information ist wichtig für meine Prüfung denn es gibt einen theoretischen Teil in dem solche Fragen gestellt werden.
Wo liegt der Unterschied zwischen "Copy and Paste" (Kopieren & Einfügen) um ein Bild einzufügen und dem gewohnten "Place" (Platzieren) über Indesign? (eine der beliebtesten Fragen der vergangenen Jahre an unserer Schule)
Ist es richtig, dass wenn ich über "Platzieren" mein Bild einfüge, das Bild auf meiner Festplatte vorhanden sein muss (was bei "copy&paste" halt nicht umbedingt)
UND dieses sich meinem Rahmen, in Größe (nicht Dateingröße) anpasst?
(warum es sinnvoll ist das Bild auf der Festplatte zu haben ist mir bewusst )
Freue mich über rasche Antworten
Ganz lieben Gruß die Fortuna

Would you please advise if the image quality is the same when copied/pasted, rather than "placed" into my inDesign document.....
While copy/paste of images is dangerous poison in general
If you set your Clipboard Handling preference to Prefer PDF When Pasting it's hard to find any evidence of a quality difference between pasting and linking, at least on OSX. A pasted image is embedded so there might be a problem with file size if you pasted multiple large pixel dimension images and it would be harder to edit the image once it is pasted, but Acrobat tells me the same image linked and pasted have the same resolution and color properties.
This PDF/X-4 has the same CMYK image pasted from Photoshop and then linked. Both have Coated FOGRA27 assigned. Acrobat's Object Inspector shows no difference in resolution, bit depth, or color space:

Does AI have a 'Paste In Place' command?

When copying (cmd c) a path or a section of a path I'd like to paste it back in the doc (cmd v) and have it land exactly along the path from which it was copied. This is possible in InDesign but I don't see it in Illustrator. I would think that Illustrator would be the place one would want it. Am I missing something?

Thanks for all the comments and help. I had been using the ''Paste Remembers Layers' but was looking for something like 'Paste in Place.' As you say, this has been a huge help. My only complaint is that the Help file gives fairly crude help in some areas, but I wish they would have a simple list of the type above, isolating specific work flow issues (I've advanced in Ai by the hard knocks school and a lot of wasted time). I can think of great ways that one could approach various tasks by combining steps into a simple pdf charts. Folks like you should set yourselves to such a task, beginning with the elementary and intermediate levels. People would be waiting in line.

Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area

Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no other computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area and is wanting a printer to use occasionally. He doesn't want to deal with a computer and I keep his iPad updated for him at my home. Please shed some light on this for us PLEASE. Thanks

In that case, it should be possible. I haven't tried this directly, but I believe it should work.
You'll need to get an actual AirPrint compatible Printer.
Check here for a list of Printers you can choose from.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
Once you have the compatible printer, using the Hotspot feature from the iPhone he'll have to create the Wifi bubble form the iPhone, and connect the Printer to that Wifi network.
Then connect the iPad to that same Wifi network provided by the iPhone. When all that is done, the printer should appear in any of the Apps that can Print under the Action Arrow button.
For instance in email, pressing the action arrow should show a Print option. In there the printer should appear.
Alternatively you can simply buy a wireless router and setup the network through there even if there is no internet attached. Connect the wireless printer to the router network, and connect the iPad or iPhone to that same wifi network to print.

Paste in Place in Photoshop CS6 is not working, am I missing something?

Hey there,
I've been using the Creative Suite since CS4, but still count myself as a beginner.
I'm building a psd file with vectors from an ai file. I recall that in CS5 and CS5.5 I had no issue copying a vector from Illustrator and then using "paste in place" to land it in the same relative spot on the Photoshop canvas. Today, my world has crumbled! Try as I might, I cannot get my vector shapes to "paste in place".
I am using Windows 7, service pack 1, and CS6 64 bit edition. Both Illustrator and Photoshop were entirely up to date as of today, and I'm in the midst of doing a reinstall, just in case that helps anything. I have already tried dumping the preference file, to no avail.
Having taken a look through the forums, it seems that Illustrator's clipboard has been handling data differently somehow, and I'm pondering whether this might be the culprit of my issue. However, copying and pasting in place within Illustrator seems to work fine, problems only arise when I copy from Illustrator into Photoshop.
I feel that I am likely missing something easy to overlook, and I would greatly appreciate some help.

I asked a friend about this issue, and he says that functionality was never there. Is that true? Perhaps it should be, it would be extremely useful. Even though I thought I recalled having done this in the past, I guess I must be mistaken.

Illustrator has a different origin behavior. There is a global origin and a per artbord origin. you need to fix the problem in AI.

Getting error "Object variable or with block variable not set" when trying to open a FR report in studio

Problem Description
We are on FR 11.1.2.2.305 installed on AIX. a user is getting this error: "Object variable or with block variable not set" when trying to open a FR report from FR studio client installed on windows xp . Initialy, we thought it may be a FR client installion issue. We uninstalled and cleaned up registry and did a fresh installation of the client but the issue still persists. The FR server and the client are on the same version.
The user is a LDAP user who is facing the issue. We have confirmed with other users and they dont have any issue accessing FR report from their own client but when they try to connect from the users machine who is having issues, the others users also see the above error. All the users are ldap users and all belong to same shared services groups so the provisiong is the same.
Any input will be appreciated.
Thanks

Paste in Place shortcut not working

My Paste in Place shortcut (cmd+shift+v) is not working in Adobe Illustrator CC (Updated) for Mac OS X.
It works when I manually press the command in the edit menu, but not when I use the keystrokes
When the shortcut is initiated, the software behaves as if nothing was pressed
It is showing as the proper shortcut when I view my shortcut preferences
When I try to re-type the shortcut in the preferences, it acts as if nothing was pressed
I've tried uninstalling SubScribe Plug-in
I've tried uninstalling Illustrator and then downloading again
I've tried resetting Illustrator preferences
I'm using the Apple Wireless Keyboard
I've tried using another keyboard and that didn't work either
Please help me, this is affecting workflow

jwbrobst,
What about Cmd+V for Paste (centre of the view), Cmd+F (place in front in the same place), or Cmd+B (place in back in the same place)?
Have you actually selected an object to paste?
Did you reinstall using the full three step way?
Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

Paste in Place = differing results

Hi,
Could someone explain to me why (usually when pasting on a different layer) Paste in Place sometimes pastes the objects in the far top left of the document instead of where you'd expect ie...
in place?

I just had exactly the same problem... but slightly different: when I "paste in front" my object on a different artboard (same size as the other one) my object appears on the far bottom right (apparently just the opposite of you)... It's really annoying as I'm using that function quite often.
Strangely if I use "paste in place" it works fine... is it the same for you? I mean have you tried other "paste" functions?
I suppose it is a bug but I even after restarting Illustrator it stays the same.

Illustrator CS3 crashes when trying to place an item

I'm running CS3 on an iMac running OS 10.5.8.
Just recently (the past few days) my Illustrator has been crashing when I attempt to place a file. I've attempted to place a variety of files (.jpg, .eps, .PSD) and usually Illustrator would crash after selecting the file to be placed. Now it is crashing upon selecting 'Place' from the 'File' menu.
I attempted this fix (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402521.html) and it did not resolve the issue. I also checked to see if possible it was trying to open a directory that no longer exists when I choose 'Place' from the 'File' menu, but that also is not the issue.
Any input on what could be wrong? Thank you!

Thank you for that link! While none of the 'technical' suggestions worked (replacing files in the Version Cue folders in Library/Application Support) a lower-tech solution has seemed to work. Simple disable Version Cue in the preferences panel of Illustrator (I'm not using it anyway). So far so good! Who would have known such a low-tech solution would work!
Thanks again & I'll report if this seems to be a permanent solution or not. I just find it strange that Illustrator just started behaving this way when I don't believe Adobe Updater has updated my CS3 in over a month.

Paste & Paste in Place problem

Hi there,
Recently i have these problem in the following description:
1- Create a new documet.
2- Draw a recangle frame on a page.
3- Copy the frame, and when i go to the other page on the same document the paste command is grayed.
Another problem:
1- Copy empty rectangle frame
2- Go to other page, when i paste the frame is filled with a content (fake content)
Also when i copy an item and try to paste it in place command it's not paste in same place.
I tried troube shooting
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990
but there's no solution
I tried Creative Suite Cleaner and reinstall and install indesign but all of these it's not solve the problem.
Indesign CS6 8.0.1
Windows 64bit

Ahem; yes…
Sometimes I should read more carefully.
In the meantime I could have a look at Shlomit's InDesign document.
I think, what he is seeing is not related to the OP's problem, but an issue in itself I can already observe in InDesign CS3.
Something "bad" will happen to the positioning of objects copied from master spreads by "Paste In Place", if the overall width of all pages left from spine is not equal to the overall width of pages right from spine. The pasted (in place) objects will move by half of the value the overall page widths will differ.
Either in positive x-direction, if the violation of symmetry (the wider side) is on the left side of the spine, or in negative x-direction, if the violation of symmetry is on the right side of the spine. It's not important, if the binding is LTR or RTL.
Still I have to test a bit, to see if that hypothesis is sustainable…
What is working alright:
Overriding or detaching objects from the applied master pages.
That will work without seeing a shift.
