Raster effect settings and size

Can someone just clarify this for me as we are a little confused. If i draw a simple logo say 100mm wide with a drop shadow somewhere on it and i set the raster effect settings to 300. I need to supply this logo to a 3rd party and i do not know how big or small they will print it out, does the size of output matter? I mean if they print it out a metre wide does the 300dpi setting still apply and therefore retain how the shadow looks despite the logo being drawn at originally at only 100mm wide?

Yes.
The effects are "live' meaning they are update as the art changes. The 300ppi will hold true no matter what size the file is printed at if the art is scaled as its sent to the printer.
However, if the art is scaled up or down inside Illustrator the drop shadow size (fall-off/blur) can change because it does not scale accurately to the art. So, if someone opens your 100mm file and scales it up to 1 meter then drop shadow could look small and almost non-existed or it could appear much greater than anticipated. This all depends upon what the Preferences > General > Scale Strokes & Effects setting is currently set at.

Hi,
        I need to set Document raster effect settings and Gradient mesh settings as high resolution in Illustrator 10.. Dont no which header file and suites have to use?
       How can i get and set the value of both Document raster effect settings and Gradient mesh settings?
        Pls guide me...

I found Raster resolution values in AIDocumentList.h header file. Raster Resolution values is inside of the AIRasterResolution struct. This AIRasterResolution struct is inside of the AINewDocumentPreset struct.
Dont know how to get and set that Raster resolution of a current document? Pls someone help me.

Raster Effects Settings and Effects Size Relationship

Hi,
I've noticed when one of my colleagues has created a concept file with RES set to 72dpi, when I go to change the settings to 300dpi, the size of the effects changes. This kinda makes sense to me so I just go in and multiply the effects by 4 to get a hi-res simulation of the original concept.
What's confusing to me is that sometimes the effects do not resize, they remain the same but just look sharper and higher in resolution. This saves me having to do the multiplication procedure which is great. I'm confused as to why this happens sometimes and on other occasions does not. Is there a preference somewhere that dictates whether effects resize according to resolution?
I'm using CS2 by the way.
Thanks

Sean,

Document Raster Effects Settings? I can't find it!

Hello,
I am using Illustrator CS5. I am looking for the document raster effects settings. I think they are at 72DPI because my drop shadows on my images are pixelated when I print out my design.
I want to change the document raster effect to 300DPI.
I googled it and in CS4 it was under the effects menu but in CS5 I don't have the effects menu anymore. It is under Objects->Effects but I don't see the document raster effects settings anywhere.
Any ideas?
thanks,
PedroAlberto

You are showing us a screensht of InDesign which is different from Illustrator.
I do not believe that ID has a raster effects setting.
This is the Illust6rator Frum you are mixing up the tw different applications, they are not the same.

Drop shadow failing to blur with high document raster effects settings DPI

I have a 1024px square artboard (in Illustrator CS6 16.1.0 running on Mountain Lion 10.8.1) with some fairly simply artwork that has a drop shadow effect applied, shown here at 33% with the Document Raster Effects Settings (DRES) resolution set to 150 DPI:
If I change the DRES resolution to 300 DPI, the blur on the drop shadow disappears entirely:
If I leave the DRES resolution at 300 DPI, but resize the image to make it a little smaller, the blur on the drop shadow comes back:
I’ve wasted several hours already trying to get the desired blurry drop-shadow on the full sized image with the DRES resolution at 300 DPI, to no avail. Does anyone have any idea as to what is going on here, and what I can do to solve this problem?
Many thanks in advance.

The Gaussian Blur was rewritten for CS6 and should probably be similar in CC. Your screen shots did not get properly attached. Can you try again to attach them using the Camera icon in the reply window tool bar?

Document Raster Effects Settings

How do I permanently change the default Document Raster Effects Settings from 72 ppi to 300 ppi in Illustrator CS2 for Windows XP?

Open the file called "Adobe Illustrator Startup_CMYK.ai" located at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS2\Plug-ins. Make changes to the Document Raster Effects Settings & save the file, replacing the original file. Take a backup of the original file so that you can revert to it later on, if need be.

MultiTrack: How to copy mute and effects settings and shift them forward an exact amount

I have mute and effects settings I need to shift forward.
Let's deal with mute on and off automations settings first: I recorded mute automation for instruments on multiple tracks. I need to keep the exact mute on/off settings for the second verse, so I need to shift them forward and start them at the beggining of a specific bar (the vocals have no settings that need shifting).
I need to copy the mute settings and apply them again at a certainbar of music. Is this possible?
I need to keep the original settings at the beginning of the track in place as well, so I can't grab and drag them unless it creates a copy and leaves the original mute settings in place.
Thank you greatly, I'm working multiple projects trying to get to them all in time.

Hello Crispin,
I'm definitely with you on the pain of making multiple tweaks just to make everything look the same. We do not currently have a way of copying properties, but if you have an idea for how you'd think it might work, we'd love to hear from you at:
http://ideas.adobe.com/ct/s.bix?c=DA4859AD-8934-4F93-983A-4219E2DD9275
where we are collecting ideas for future directions for Catalyst.
For now, I would suggest trying to factor similar portions into components as much as possible. For example, perhaps you could create an empty button with all of the effects you want (like the glow, sizing, etc), and then just create a component where that button is above the text and image for a specific button. That way, when you change the appearance of your single button component definition, the appearance will change for all of your buttons. If you got really carried away, you could even create a custom component where each of the states is a different image / text pair, and just set the state of that component for each instance on the artboard.

'save as' finder window settings and size (on mac)

Hi there ~
Whenever saving/downloading any type of file from any firefox tab, and the 'save as' window opens and I choose where I want the file to be downloaded to, the finder window columns are really tight and narrow, cutting off the folder names so I constantly have to stretch out that first column so I can see the folder names .. this only happens in firefox and the finder window is always squooshed, even if I adjust it and then close/relaunch firefox .. how can I permanently set the finder window settings to avoid having to manually adjust it each time?
thanks

Probably not the only one... the OS 9 Finder way did slow things down a bit. But it may be a helpful feature for some. Best if you could activate or not. You can file a feature request here Mac OS X Feedback

Doc Raster Effects on gaussian blur

CS5, Mac 10.8.4.
We inherited a design at doc raster effects of 72 dpi, using a light blue PMS 291 arch shape that was gaussian blurred to make a soft arched gradient.
Changed doc raster effects to 300 dpi, and the gradient turned into a solid of PMS 291. I edited the 90 gaussian blur amount to 21.6 = (90 * 72)/300. That did not look right as the gradient was not soft but hard. Kept tweaking the gradient to find that it looked best at 59, when we went to 60 pixels then the gradient jumped to a solid lt blue with no gradient. Printed the 59 gaussian blue, and it looked like this coming out of our DC 240 color xerox laser printer (photoshopped to simulate, basically the gradient ends with a hard wave.)
So I said enough of this, I do not like the gaussian blur and wish Illustrator did not even have that as and option cause for final work causes to much trouble. Rebuilt this as a 3 step blend in PMS 291. Looked great on screen, but also printed like the second screen shot. Anyone have any idea what I can do. I am totally fine with getting rid of the gaussian blur, as we will be having many more new packaging coming in different sizes that will need this arched gradient.
Here are my doc raster effect settings. Would like to know more about anti alias and the create clipping mask option. My question though is how to get rid of gradient ending hard.

Seems the best I can do is to rebuild this gradient in Photoshop as a spot channel, so that I get a soft ending.
If anyone from Adobe or the forums has any input about this do raster effects setting, and how to calculate a gaussian blur that looks the same at 72 or 300 dpi.

Warning: the document raster effects resolution is 72 ppi or less

How do I address / fix the issue that leads to this WARNING when saving my Illustrator CS6 file? All embedded images are 300 ppi.

Kristen,
The warning has nothing to do with your images.
It is simply a statement that tells you that you have not set Effect>Document Raster Effects Settings higher than the default screen value of 72 PPI.
If you have no raster effects applied to your vector artwork there is no need to worry.
If you have, you should consider which value is suitable.

Raster effects appearance differences between CS and CS3 at 72dpi

We have received a file from an outside vendor that, when viewed on a mac running Illustrator CS3 and one running CS, looks considerably different. Drop shadows becomes too dark and too large when viewed in CS unless the document raster settings are set to 300dpi. BUT there is a white highlight that has a gaussian blur applied and is set to "Overlay" in the transparency settings that appears harsher and less graduated at 300dpi. Our concern is that we are sending this file out for film in China and we have no way of knowing what the final appearance will be.
The question is: Should we set the Document Raster Effects to 300 dpi and adjust the highlight so that it looks right...or should we leave it at 72 dpi and adjust the shadows.

How does the crop-lock and "Effect" settings logic work?

The crop lock and Effect setting have in common the fact that they are unpredictable with a strange logic I have yet to figure out. Questions:
What decision process causes the crop lock to remain locked, and then suddenly decide to stay open from one use to the next (Or the reverse).?
What makes the "Effects" decide to retain its last used settings, and sometimes not? (Usually the last customized setting is NOT what I want for the next photo in line to be edited).
Thanks!

Thank you for the reply!

There is no distinction betwen edited and un-edited. And the tools and controls do not have any defaults of their own aside from what the images possess. You can't put the crop tool on 3:2 and then move from image to image clicking "apply"; this is simply not how the LR interface works.
Understood, except that these settings are an exception. The effects settings will be stuck in the last positions they where on before you created the edit button. See attached photo for what I mean by edit buttons and associated settings. This also applies to graduated filters.
This is difficult to describe. I think I've figured out the logic but cant understand why anyone would want it to work this way: If I choose a setting *before* making the first mark (i.e. new button) with the tool, those settings will persist forever until I change them (even if I change catalogs). If I change the settings AFTER applying the tool, they are forgotten even if I want to keep them. I never want a custom setting to persist into the next photo because the last tool/setting I used will not likely be the first tool used in the next photo.
And just to be clear, the effects I'm referring to are on the right. The timing of WHEN you adjust those settings determines whether or not they persist in what I consider an undesirable way. In other words, in order to avoid messing up the presets, I must always start the tool before adjusting the effects. That is the only way to keep them from persisting into the next tool/button operation.
