Pathfinder's Subtract tool distorting graphics

I'm running illustrator CS5.5 on Windows 7.
I'm making variations of a logo and one of them is a single color reverse. The logo is basically the letters 'MCS' written on a block of color. When I try to use the Pathfinder's subtract feature to knock out the letters from the block I get some slight distortion on the letters.
I was running CS2 before and I did this many times but I never had any distortion.
Why is this happening? Is there a setting I can change?

Open the web.ai file at location below
Transform palette >> uncheck "Align new objects to pixel Grid"
Close and save web.ai
That wil keep it off when you chose new document profile web (which I believe flash catalyst is the only other one that has that on)

MacBook Pro 15" Retina display with distorted graphics.

I have a MacBook Pro 15" Retina display purchased in Nov. 2014. When surfing the net areas of the screen will sometimes begin to display distorted or blinking graphics. The distoreded area are usually about 2" high by 3" long of either blinking text or filled many small rectangles of distorted graphics. I ran diagnostics and no problems found. Here is a link to a video of the problem.

Having Illustrator pathfinder subtract tool problems.

I used a pen tool to create a logo and then I brought it over to another file of a rounded star. I want to subtract my logo nicely onto the shape but whenever I do, it subtracts weirdly and all wonky not as I designed it. Any help?

I am using Adobe Illustrator CC SRiegel

How to best change shoulder shape with pen tool: cut graphic in half and reflect?

Hi,
I'm working with a .eps file of a mannequin. I need to make the shoulders more square and more rounded to show variations on body type. I'm not an illustrator whiz, but I thought that it would be best to slice the graphic down the middle, alter one shoulder, and then reflect it so that they are even. But how do I do cut it in half?
I've been playing with the convert anchor point tool to change the should shape and while it works, it's very hard for me to replicate the exact same effect on the opposite side. I've uploaded the file so that you can see what I'm talking about. If anyone could suggest the best route, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks!

For the scissors, you need to insert extra anchor points at the cutting point.
It is not necessary to insert an anchorPoint before cutting a segment with the Scissor.
Also, assuming we're talking about closed or filled path(s) here:
1. Knife Tool.
2. Press and hold Alt.
3. Drag the Knife all the way across the Path(s). Add Shift to constrain to vertical/horizontal/45 diagonal angles.
If the paths are open and unfilled, the Knife tool is useless. It also does not abide by SmartGuides. (Illustrator has three cutting tools and they are all pathetic.)

Warp tool distortion

Hey everyone,
This is basically what I'm trying to do: http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/9526/bloodyilly.jpg
So in step 1, that's how it is now. Step 2 is when I've used the warp tool and am dragging it down. According to how it's projected to come out at this stage, that's exactly how I want it. But then at step 3, it distorts as shown.
I thought that perhaps it was because the circles and rectangles didn't have enough points and that's what was making it distort. I upped the amount of points and the same thing happened.
What I'm trying to get is just that left part to have a wave effect and the rest to stay the same.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks!
- Chris

So the way I went about using the envelope distort was to copy and paste what I'd done. Then with that copy, merged it altogether so it was just the outline of what i'd done. Then, edit the paths to include the wave.
I then did the 'make with top objec't and tried different fidelity options and so on and it didn't come out as I hoped. It was actually very distorted and didn't even constrain to the top oject.
So then I got rid of the bottom part which I didn't want to distort, tried all the above again and that didn't work either.

Distorted graphics on MBP Early 2011 in 10.9.2

Today, all of a sudden, the graphics inside my Finder window are distorted. I've never had this problem before today.
To my knowledge, I didn't install any new apps or updates.
This problem ONLY exists INSIDE of Finder windows and no where else.
So far I've tried these solutions...
1-I turned off automatic graphics switching and restarted.
2-I have installed the gfxCardStatus app and am running on my discrete graphics card only.
3-I ran this command in terminal - sudo nvram boot-args="vm_compressor=1" and restarted. When I do this, I get about 5 min. with Finder working and then it starts the graphics corruption again.
Does anyone know another solution? This bug in os x 10.9.2 is driving me nuts!
Thanks!

Kiraly,
Yes, the graphics corruption appears in the screenshot...it really weird because it's ONLY in the left bottom side of the Finder window, no where else. If I reboot, everything works fine for about 3-4 min. and then the corruption returns. And the other weird part-Finder interfaces work fine in any other app too.
Any ideas you may have would be greatly appreciated! This is really slowing down my workflow.

Pathfinder and line tool

Hi
I drew a line using the line tool and then used the smooth zig zag to create a wave.
The wave starts with the "low wave" and I want it to start with the "high Wave" so I tried the mirror option but that does not seem to make any difference.
I then made my "wave" longer and treid to use the pathfinder tool to "cut" the part of the wave I wanted but that did not work either.
Is the line tool and zig zag the wrong tool to use?
thanks
Ian

You can do the Zig Zag Smooth as an Effect and use the Transform Effect to Reflect Y axes. This should switch the highs and lows if I understand you correctly.

Mesh Tool distorting artwork.

After I finished doing my design using the "Mesh Tool" and reduced the size of the hole piece, the Mesh is converted from organic shapes into straight lines. Which makes all my work useless.
Does any one knows how to fixe that?

I sure wish they'd FIX THIS BUG!
Only solutions I know of... use the scale tool rather than free transform. Use the Effect > transform in some cases. Go back to CS2.
It was presented quite some time ago... immediately after the 13.0.0 release. 3 updates later.. no help. *sigh*

Distorted graphics in iPhoto 9.4.3

I created a card. If I turn off my Mac or log out of my user account when cards projects tab is selected in the main window then on logging in and launching iPhoto the next time I see this:
To restore the normal state I have to click another tab then return to the cards. What is this all about? Defected graphic card? I notice this only in iPhoto and my Mac is not eligible for the recent repair campaign launched by Apple.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

MacBook Pro (2011 model) issues with screen (blue tint and distorted graphics)

Since yesterday my macbook screen has started to appear as tinted blue with some distortion of images and i was hoping if anyone could let me know what may be wrong or if it is a techincal glitch?
Any response would be appreciated!

I really cannot tell from your posted image any defect, not to suggest there isn't any. You could fiddle with System Preferences>Displays>Color.
If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation.
Ciao.

The bone tool is distorting my graphics.

I've used it before without major problems but for one particular scene it just wont comply. I need the head and neck of a tortoise (I drew it in flash) to slowly angle towards the ground. It needs to be smooth (impossible to do frame by frame). When I apply the bone tool the graphics change so that some lines around the tortoise's mouth become thicker and some become bumpy and irregular. This has happened before but the problem went away after rubbing out some parts and redrawing them (no idea why that made a difference but it worked so who cares). Well that isn't working this time at all. If it wasn't for this, the bone tool would otherwise be working fine (I can still move it where I need to) Please help, thanks.

double click your caterpillar graphic in the library (to edit the symbol)>convert each group (head, body parts) into a movieclip>use the bone tool.

Major screen/graphics distortion while editing in iPhoto. Any ideas?

Hi there,
I have a 13" MacBook Pro purchased in late 2011. We bought the computer specifically for photo editing, as I have a DSLR camera. The issues with iPhoto started almost immediately after the computer was purchased. Here's what happens - I'll be editing in iPhoto (usually within the "adjust tab", not quick fixes). After a few minutes, iPhoto starts seriously dragging, I get the wheel, then I start getting super crazy graphics distortions, but just within the iPhoto screen. A few more minutes of this, iPhoto usually crashes (in rare cases, it takes down the entire system). First I had the hard drive replaced. No dice - problems persisted. Then Apple replaced the logic board including the video/graphics card. Still no luck. I took it in again a week ago, and they are stumped. They are apparently working with their engineering team and looking at "logs" (?) but it doesn't sound hopeful. They tell me anything that could be hardware-related has been ruled out, but it's still happening.
System stats:
Mac OS X Lion version 10.7.5
2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Has anyone had similar issues or hear of anything like this before??

First off the 13" Late 2011 Mac notebooks don't really have a add-on Graphics Card in them. They use the Intel HD 3000 graphics chip that is included in the Intel CPU. So I would guess when Apple said they change the graphic card they meant that the graphic system was changed with the logic board and the CPU.
Also the 13" MBPs aren't that great for Photo editing because of the Intel HD 3000 graphic system. But then I do run Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 4 on a Dell notebook that only has the Intel graphics and I have never had either program crash or give flaky graphic distortions.
I suggest you try Adobe Lightroom, Adobe has a free 30 day trial of it, and see if the same things happen. If Lighroom does the same things then it is hardware related in some way. If Lightroom doesn't crash and or give distorted graphics then it is something to do with iPhoto.
I personally don't use iPhoto as I already own Lightroom and Photoshop.
Lightroom is a very powerfull image editing program and a very good image cataloging and management program all rolled up into one package

Develop Tool overlays do not show, crop distorts

Lightroom 5.6 on Windows 8.1
Only installed today. Imported a Photoshop Elements 9 catalogue. Thought I'd play with Lightroom and retouch some old photos but I'm getting very odd problems.
The Develop Tool Overlays do not show when any of them besides crop. Yes I know you can turn them on, off or auto in Tools -> Tools Overlay menu option. No matter which I choose they never show up and do nothing when I try to drag, click brush etc.
The crop tool distorts my original image to a strange 16:9ish ratio before cropping.
Anyone heard of these problems? I've tried searching for these problems but can't find a solution.

I am having the same problem. The crop menu doesn't show drop down menu's. I am running the 64 bit version of
photoshop CS5 and I don't know if maybe it is a compatiblity issue? Any help to get the drop down menus to appear?

Does Pathfinder "subtract" simply not work anymore?

Hi all.
I'm trying a punch a simple circle out of a filled rectangle, but it does not appear to work. I select first the circle, then the rectangle, then use Pathfinder's "subtract" option. All I get is a warning and no visible result. I'm trying to make a camera icon similar to the one in the bitmap in the following screen shot. Any insights? Thanks!

I converted the circle stroke into an outline as you suggested. This creates the compound path that one would expect. But if you then select the rectangle and use Subtract, Illustrator breaks the compound path and makes a new one that combines only the outer circle and the rectangle. Of course this does not give the desired result.
You making a small error, before outlineint he stroke of the Circle Path you have yto makee certain it has no fill. Stroke no fill!
So go back and make the the Circle have a Black Stroke and a illof None the go to Object>Path>Outline Stroke
Now try the Pthfinder Minus Front and you will see the difference.
The reason it only cut a full circle shape out ot the rectangle when you outlined the Circle Path with Both a Fill and Stroke is that it creates two paths that way one for the fill and one for the stroke as an outline compund path.
Then when you also select the rectangles you really have full circle being cut out.
Here is a screenshot of the path outlined with a fill notice there are three paths!
Here is a screenshot with the outlined circle path without a fill notice there are only two paths involved as far as the circle is concerend.
Now when yu do minus front you get this and you can aply the drop shadow!

10.6.2 update - the graphics distortion in Safari Top Sites is not Fixed!

I felt so relieved after updating- 10.6.2, because the annoying graphics distortion in safari when clicking top sites is gone.. gone for about 1 day only. && now its happening again! IDK why??? i installed the update correctly. && about this mac says i have the version 10.6.2.

Hello lyon09,
Unfortunately i have not yet made it to the Genius Bar as of yet. I ended up canceling the appointment i re-scheduled too and haven't made another one. Basically, i was only gonna go in just because i said the Battery gave me a "Service Battery" error message, which means that "the battery isn’t functioning normally, and you may or may not notice a change in its behavior or the amount of charge it holds. Have your computer checked by an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP). You can continue to use your battery before it’s checked without harming your computer."
So that was gonna be my main reason for going in there, and at that time discussing and showing him what Top Sites is doing to me.
1. Top Sites has a distorted graphics that have been there since 10.6 came out....10.6.1 was supposed to fix it, did not....then 10.6.2 was supposed to fix it, and as of right now it still is not fixed.
I have done an Archive & Install with no success.
2. Battery showed me that Service Battery error message just that one evening. My battery was drained completely and when i plugged it in and got it working again, the Service Battery error was there for about 45 minutes or so until it got a sufficient charge it decided it would go away. I haven't seen it since.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/20865.html
It has now been about a week since i last saw that message.
That was my main reason for canceling the Genius Bar appointment, because the battery seems to be working for the time being. If i see that message again though, then i won't hesitate to take it in.
I'm starting to wonder now though, should i just take it in anyways. Because if i saw that message, on the battery, and they need to replace that - then if there is some other reason for the distorted graphics in Top Sites, like maybe the Logic Board....then i want to get it fixed. It's under warranty for 3 years.
I just haven't found reason other than having that fluke Service Battery message to go in and have it checked out. If my video gets really whacked out or i see that battery message again, then i'll go promptly.
Does anybody else have any input on this? Thanks!
