Not fully transparent when exported little white dots around images

I don't know if I should just copy from the illustrator file while in the program and paste into my indesign document directly or export as some other file. I've done the export as EPS before so I went with that. However my images that I drew in illustrator with a brush tool and colored are not full transparent. I see little white spots I don't know if that's because indesign shows them like that or are they actually there. I am combining images because I drew parts separately as opposed to drawing the whole scene together because I wanted to move certain characters/objects/scenery. My question is are the little white spots actually there or is that just that indesign displays it that way? I exported them with the default settings as EPS in illustrator with transparency. I didn't change any settings. Thank you in advance. Oh and I use illustrator cs5.1

so basically only PDF and AI files are able to hold transparency? or are there other formats? In that case what should be a good format for professional print when I have a logo or image that has transparent parts? (In illustrator that would be any part you haven't colored correct?) I've gotten EPS files though that have transparency. Or maybe I'm using transparency wrong I mean like for example you if I made a logo the edges of the logo would be clean but in my case it isn't. there are little white spots as if my background was filled with paintbucket tool in photoshop and removing it with the magic eraser tool from the white background I filled in. I don't mean transparency as in the opacity but as in the background being transparent. Sorry for the confusion!

PDF not fully flattened when exporting - Printing problems

I recently ran across a problem I haven't experienced before. I had designed a postcard in InDesign CS6, The client wanted the text from their old logo with a new graphic in place of part of the old logo (sorry if that sounds very confusing they replaced old logo graphic with one that is celebrating 40 years). I used the clipping boxes and imported both the new graphic and the old logo (cutting off the graphic of the old logo that they didn't want). Looked great on screen, my printed proof on my printer looked great as well. Exported using press quality, with trim marks to PDF and sent it to the print house.
The print house opened it in a program to mail merge and it still looked great on screen, but when it printed the graphic from the old logo showed through and I ended up with the new logo printed on top of the old logo (which my client obviously was furious about).
I've been doing this for 12 years with no previous problems, so this baffled me. The printing house told me that they occasionally have this happen because their hi-tech printer is able to read hidden layers and just is too smart and that it is probably that the pdf isn't flattened enough.
First off, I need to know what I need to do to my PDF setting to make sure this doesn't happen again as I want what I see on screen to be all that prints.
Second, if the hi-tech printer didn't pay attention to that clipping path (and showed all the logo), but didn't mess up the grid of pictures on the card (all of which were in the same type of clipping mask), what caused it to do this?
Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi,
I think your pdf file is probably damaged. There is a tool called Advanced PDF Repair. I have used it to repair many corrupt PDF files successfully. Its homepage is http://www.datanumen.com/apdfr/ Maybe you can have a try.

Little White Dot on left hand of screen

Hey guys I have this little white dot on the left hand side of my screen. It seems to be dead center vertically and is just a 3 or 5 millimeters from the left edge. I think it's slightly larger than a single pixel (maybe two?). It's not a stuck pixel. It goes away if I put something darker behind it but if there's something white or very light behind it the spotter stands out as brighter than the rest.
I noticed it a month or so ago. I tried stuck pixel fixers but that doesn't seem to do the trick. I'm way out of warranty so i can really only do home fixes. It's not a huge deal but it gets kind of annoying cause once I notice it keep nagging at the back of my mind until I leave my computer for a while and forget about it.
Anyway I used it for over a year before noticing it so I think it appeared a while after I bought it but I don't know exactly when. I was thinking maybe the LCD backlight got jostled or something and now has a little bit of focus on the spot along with regularly lighting the rest of the screen. just a theory...
So do you guys have any ideas and hopefully easy home fixes that don't risk my computer's functioning?

I have this same issue. I have two small white smug looking spots that showed up about two month ago. It’s is really apparent when the Apple default blue screen at boot up.
I went to the Genius Bar last night to have another issue looked at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1882651&tstart=0 and I inquired what those white dots/smudges were.
“The Genius” said they are what they call bruises. Bruises caused by pressure applied in a concentrated area on the screen. I asked how that was possible when I carry my MBP in a case inside my bag. He then explained that anything could cause this and most likely was gripping the case of the computer when closed. He also went on to explain that this was not covered by the normal Mfg. warranty or the extended service plan.

Little white dot in the blue Egde box

Hey Guys,
Does anyone have a clue as to what the little white dot in the blue Edge box means? Since the 2.0 Update it seems to come up every once in awhile then it goes back the the E.
Thanks

It means you only have a GPRS connection. Not even EDGE.

"Non rectangular objects will not appear correctly when exported using CSS."

I am using Ind CC 2014 exporting a document to a reflowable epub. The document contains an .ai image. The image exports correctly in some parts of the.epub but not others, where it is distorted. There is a warning on export :"Non rectangular objects will not appear correctly when exported using CSS." Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks!

When exporting my Indesign Layout with Images, the images disappear ?

When exporting my indesign layout the images disappear once exporting as a PDF print.
I have had several information bubbles appear claiming I need to alter my blend space due or colour settings ?
I have altered the blend space to rgb and still it does not work.
I have also unlocked all the layers in attempt for this to work.
My assignment is due in tomorrow and still I cannot get this feature to work
any help would be great !

CharlieLDavis1992 wrote:
When in preview mode they do not appear either.
If you understood my question and the images also disappear in InDesign when switching the screen to Preview mode, or Overprint Preview, that means they are set to non-printing in some way. Either they are on a layer set to non-printing, or they're set to non-printing on an individual basis in the Attributes panel.
>I am using the latest OS,
Not really helpful. OS X? Windows? Probably not relevant, as it turns out, for this problem, but you should be specific.
>The pdf appears in preview
Does that mean you are trying to use Mac Preview to view the PDF? If so, it may give you bad results. Mac Preview is not a godd general-purpose PDF viewer and is incapable of rendering complex PDF.
The first error dialog you show is what you would get when opening a file in ID that has different document color spaces than the default settings in your color settings file. That's not a problem, and to preserve the color appearances you would leave things as they are.
The second warning dialog indicates you are making an interactive PDF, which is RGB. If you are using CMYK images I don't think you'll avoid color shifts no matter what you do if you have transparency, but I don't do interactive PDF, so I can't give good advice here. If you are using RGB images, by all means your transparency blend space should be set to RGB.
Can you post a screen shot of the export dialog?

DW8-Fine white line around images

DW8 - On some of my images there is a very fine white line
around the edge when the site is previewed in the browser. The site
has an almost-black background color (181714), and I use the same
color in making the image backgrounds (in Photoshop CS), for
example roll-over images. How do I get rid of this?

You wouldn't set this in the Property inspector, you'd set it
in the CSS,
and the only time you need it would be when the image is
within a link:
a img { border:none; }
Also, you wouldn't expect this effect to produce a white
border - it would
be a blue one (by default).
I'm guessing the fine white line is part of the image (it's
easy to
undercrop when the canvas is white).
> I've noticed

If you have nothing there, you will get the default value for
the all of the
table attributes, which is often (but not always) not zero.

How do I get rid of faint white boxes around images?

Some files that I have printed have faint white boxes around images. The images were saved in photoshop with transparent backgrounds that seem to be showing up faintly in the final printed image. Does anyone know how I can get rid of this problem?

signspec,
What happens if you print from Illy?
Your printer (driver) may be overly helpful and performs a bit of colour management all by itself. You may have a look and disable any such management in the printer (driver) options.

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.

Songs not loud enough when exported to disk.

Hey guys.
I exported my songs I recently recorded as mp3's. I uploaded them to Mypace, and unlike previous recorded in GB, they were much softer. I have no idea what's causing the problem. Just to show you all, here's my page.
The two I uploaded today are Drum Demo and Samba Sample. The others were uploaded a pretty long time ago.

ZachPlaysDrums wrote:
I saw the topic about exporting to iTunes and I saw the suggestion about turning auto nomalizing off. I did, but now some of the louder fills (it's only a drum track) clip.
The issue is that there is too much dynamic range between the loudest notes and the softest. Normalizing brings the loudest notes up to the loudest value (0 dBFS), but since there is still a leap between the loudest and softest notes, the average notes will still be well below the top values, making the overall track seem soft. Turning off normalizing allows you to bring the overall level up, but as you found out, the loudest notes will clip when you get the average levels where you want them.
The solution is compression.
If you compress your tracks, you reduce the overall dynamic range (the softest notes aren't as far away from the loudest notes as they originally were), which lets you raise the average (and perceived) volume on the overall track without clipping.
The danger is over-compression.
If you over-compress, and reduce the dynamic range too much, the track can sound dull and lifeless. However, a little compression is the way to tame the dynamics and increase levels without clipping.

SWF animations not working properly when exported as PDF from InDesign

I'm using InDesign CS5 and have created a document that I want to add interactivity and animations to. I've created buttons and page destionations, etc, which all work perfectly when exported to a PDF but the simple animation that I wanted to include don't work. The animations have been created in InDesign then selection exported as a SWF file and then imported and placed in InDesign and then exported as an interactive PDF where the animations either don't work, haven't been picked up or don not work as they should. What am I doing wrong, how do I get the animations to work correctly?

Video Editing changes to inpoint and outpoint not being saved when exporting.

I'm editing .mov 1080p video clips from my DSLR in Lightroom 4.4. I,m using the slider bar to set a new "inpoint" and "outpoint," shortening the video. When I export, I am using the original format and new file name. Lightroom tells me the video is shorter in length, but when I play it back in Windows, the new file is the original length. What am I failing to do/see here? I'm using Win 7

In my experience when you export in the original format (MOV) you lose all adjustments, including length shortemimg.
Maybe someone can explain what the use is of this setting?
The adjustments are only reflected when exporting as H.264 (MP4) and maybe DPX which I never have used.

Why are 16x9 photos from PSE8 not filling screen when exported to PRE8?

I batch cropped a bunch of photos to (JPEG) 16x9 and created a slideshow in PSE8 (about 100 slides, 3.2 sec duration, random pan/zoom, random 1 sec transition). I had to click on each photo "properties" and choose "fit on slide" since it was defaulting to "crop to fit" (which was further cropping my 16x9 photos down to something not desirable).
When I "Output to PSE8" it shows up in the sceneline as not filling the entire space. If I click on this slide show in PRE8 and use the "properties" then "motion" and increase the size of the pictures, they come out blurry. However, if I insert one of the 16x9 photos directly into PRE8, it fills the entire screen and is perfect focused.
PLEASE tell me there is an easier solution than having to create the entire slideshow in PRE8. I really like the random transitions, easy batch duration pan/zoom, control.

Thanks for such a quick response Steve. I will attempt to add more information to help clarify your addtional quesitons
The pan and zoom I am using is the default (very minor- just enough to give the perception of movement).
If I import directly into PRE8 the picture(s) look perfect. It just seems to occur after I port to PRE8
I am not sure what workflow I am following but will be a bit more specific as to the steps I have been taking:
1. I open the PSE8 workspace and choose "organize" (not edit)
2. I click on "create" then click on "slideshow"
3. Next I set my specific defaults (for this project) 3.2 sec interval, 1 second Random transitions, apply pan and zoom to all slides and leave the "crop to fit slide-landscape" checked ( thanks for the tip to uncheck this next time, so I dont have to do it to every slide!!)
4. I then import my media from "add media" "photos and videos from folders" place the photos in the order i am looking for then save the project.
5.I next click "output" and "edit with Premiere Elements" - which open PRE8
6. in PRE8 setup I choose the "HDV 1080i 30" configuration.
The slideshow has now ported over to PRE8. The slideshow bundle does not utilize all of the space in the sceneline, hence my problem (black bars top and bottom of screen). Ironically, when I import via get media (directly from PRE8) the same pictures from my computer file (not in the organizer), they fill the entire space in the sceneline (no black bars on top or bottom). I have this problem regardless of whether or not I am using the pan/zoom or the unchecking of crop to fit slide landscape in PSE8.
I can send a screen print if you think that might help??
I sure hope this helps, all the other video items that are not related to this slideshow are perfect and this is killing me!!
Thanks, again, Mike

White box around image in my transparent .swf file

I created a .swf file for a header of a website using a logo that tweens in. I tested the .swf with the transparent properties and it works but the logo I imported from photoshop has a white box around it, how can I remove this? Do I need to import a transparent .png file instead of a .jpg?
Thanks!

.png's are lossless vector graphics, so it's probably best bet if your going to do other things with the logo. .jpg's are not fond of resizing. You can also break the image apart and use the lasso tool and magic wand the background away.
