Resize/Scaling issues

Hi,
I'm having a weird issue with Illustrator CS3. In the past, when I was using the Move(V) tool, it allowed me to resize/rotate objects I had selected. Then one day, that functionality disappeared. So I started using the Free Transform(E) tool to take care of that action. However, when I have a text area selected and use the Free Transform tool to scale it, instead of resizing the box it scales the text inside the box. The only way to resolve this that I've found is to use the regular Move tool to thread the text into another blank text area and then press ctrl+z. This somehow liberates the text area and allows me to resize the area without resizing the text.
Does anyone have any idea about these problems? I'd be perfectly happy to reset all Illustrator controls to their defaults, if someone knows how to do that.

Rixianne,
What happens if you Ctrl+H? If nothing, it may be time to
Move the folder

GetURL _blank: scaling issues

I have the following in Flash 8
BriefLook_mc.btnStudentLife_mc.onRelease = function():Void
this.createEmptyMovieClip("craveLoader_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
this.craveLoader_mc.getURL("BWC_Crave.swf",
"_blank");
This opens a new window for BWC_Crave.swf ...like I want. But
the window scales depending on my current window sizing. If I make
my window bigger or smaller, it sizes the flash movie in the
window. I want it to be a static size. What am I doing wrong? My
publish setting are set at 100% with "no scaling" set for both swf
files.
When I publish the called swf file bwc_crave.swf, it works as
intended. When I load this file with getURL, that is when the
scaling issues arise. Any clues?

Why are you creating an empty movie clip?
You should place your "Crave.swf" file into a HTML page the
way you want it and then insert javascript into the <head>
tags to resize the page on load.
Here is a link to the javascript you could use:

How do I fix this printer scaling issue?

Copied from my post on Experts Exchange...
I have a client running an OS X Server with Snow Leopard 10.6. Their office has iMacs and they print a variety of formats (PDF, DWG) from different programs.
The problem is that the prints are not scaling properly. When set to a certain scale, the measured print is off by 2% or so.
They also run Windows 7 in a virtualized machine via Parallels, and they are not experiencing the problem through windows.
The printer in question is an Epson Stylus Photo 1400. It is connected directly to the OS X Server via USB. The printer is then shared via Server Admin using all protocols.
On a client Mac OS X machine, I add the printer through System Preferences, Printers, and select the printer. When adding, I use the Gutenprint driver for this particular printer because for whatever reason, the standard driver will not print correctly (prints half-way, wrong size, etc.).
I have tried restarting the Print Server, removing and re-adding the printer with the same driver, updating the Gutenprint drivers from 5.2.3 to 5.2.7. I even deleted a CUPS plist file thinking it would do something but apparently not.
The prints used to print just fine. I don't know what to try as I am exhausting the research solutions I have found thus far online.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

In addition to Matt's suggestions, check what driver is being used on the server. If the Epson driver is being used on the server but the clients are having to use Gutenprint as you have mentioned, then this can also cause scaling issues. So if you can create the server queue using the Gutenprint driver (for some printers this can be tricky) then this can help. And with this queue using the Gutenprint driver I would then try printing a PDF directly from the OS X server to see if the same scaling issue occurs. If the server prints without the 2% reduction then you can concentrate on the client.
And for the client, as a test, I would also try connecting the printer directly to a client Mac via USB and also see if the same scaling issue occurs. But ensure you do use the settings Matt has suggested, because the scale to fit does catch out a lot of users.

Scaling issues with Windows 8.1 and 3200x1800 displays?

What about scaling issues with CS6 Illustrator and Photoshop? I have a hidpi 3200x1800 13" laptop with win 8.1 and can't use the software because of the tiny text.
Thanks,
PK

CS6 was released before HiDpi displays were common and there are no adjustments in that program.
You can try going into Preferences > Interface and changing the UI Font Size to Large.
You could also try lowering your display resolution until is decently readable.
Another step is joining Creative Cloud. Photoshop CC 2014 has 200% UI Scaling.
$50/month for all apps or $10/month for Photoshop/Lightroom.
There are intro and educational offers if you can get on them.

QHD+ Resolution Scaling Issues Windows 8

I've read that QHD+ resolution monitors like the Dell Precision m3800 with a 3200x1800 resolution screen are having scaling issues with Windows 8, and even 8.1. Some programs scale correctly, but I have specifically heard Adobe programs including Adobe After Effects do NOT scale correctly.
Are there plans to fix this with the next Windows release? Or a patch before then?
Any rough estimate as to when that would be?
Does it work at the moment to scale the monitor down to a lower resolution to fix it? Is it in fact tested and not just assumed. (I have no way of checking and can't get a straight answer)
I want to buy this laptop soon, but I need it for After Effects and if it's not usable, it won't be a good buy. Would love to have some concret answers!
Thanks!
Kim

The CC versions of Adobe programs support high-DPI displays, but not older ones. If you use an older version, this won't change. Nobody goes back to old code.

Surface Pro 3, Remote Desktop, multiple monitors, Windows 8.1 DPI scaling issues

I have been evaluating Surface Pro 3 and once of the attributes is the display. Here is the description of the environment and the remote desktop display issue.
Surface Pro 3 (Windows 8.1 with latest firmware and Windows updates) has 12 inch built-in screen with native resolution 2160x1440. The Surface is docked and an external monitor (native resolution 1920x1080) is connected to the docking stations. The
display configuration doesn't allow for different scaling for each monitor, single scaling value is used for multiple monitors. This is an issue as the recommended scaling of 150% is optimal for small built-in screen of Surface but it is not optimal for
large screens of external monitors. Also this scaling is "inherited" by a remote desktop session which results in objects being too large on the remote desktop sessions or sometimes even blurry/fuzzy.
Can the blurriness/fuzziness of the remote desktop session be resolved?

Hi Colin,
Thanks for the response. I installed the latest firmware and patches about a week ago and the scaling issue improved. It is not optimal yet as some graphical elements are still out of proportions but I do not want to spent more resources on this subject
anymore.
Best regards,
Zbysek

Graphics scaling issues in Flash Builder 4.5.1

Please review this screen shot. Details follow the image.
FB 4.5.1
applicationDPI = "160"
Graphics using MultiDPIBitmapSource scale fairly well.
Graphics used for these properties do not scale well at all:
1) ViewMenuItem's "icon" property.
2) List itemRenderer IconItemRenderer "decorator" property.
3) TabbedViewNavigatorApplication's "splashScreenImage" property.
These graphics assets end up with horrible scaling artifacts, making them unusable. So, I cannot use icons with Menus or Lists or a splash image.
I've reviewed all of Adobe's documentation and followed all of their recommendations for creating graphics assets for use in a mobile applications. Simple graphics with no curved lines or angles less than 90 degrees scale well. Anything else does not.
Attached is a screen shot comparing the scaling issues at 160, 240 and 320 dpi with applicationDPI = "160". It is using an FXG graphic created in Illustrator CS5.5.
The FXG graphic was embedded in the s:IconItemRenderer like this: decorator = "{images.arrow_list_icon}".
For testing purposes, I also tried switching the decorator at runtime based on the applicationDPI, but of course this fails as the application still scales the graphic whenever the application's applicationDPI property is specified.
<s:List>
<s:itemRenderer>
<fx:Component>
<s:IconItemRenderer
decorator = "{chooseDecorator()}"
<fx:Script>
//This code selects a different FXG asset based on the DPI reported at runtime.
import images.arrow_list_icon160;
import images.arrow_list_icon240;
import images.arrow_list_icon320;
import mx.core.FlexGlobals;
protected function chooseDecorator():Class {
    var rtnVal:Class;
    switch (FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.runtimeDPI) {
        case mx.core.DPIClassification.DPI_160:
            rtnVal=images.arrow_list_icon160;
            break;
        case mx.core.DPIClassification.DPI_240:
            rtnVal=images.arrow_list_icon240;
            break;
        case mx.core.DPIClassification.DPI_320:
            rtnVal=images.arrow_list_icon320;
            break;
    return rtnVal;
</fx:Script>
Has anyone come up with methods which can be used to avoid scaling issues with these items when setting the applicationDPI property?

Chances are that you'll get better answers for this question on the Flex general discussion forum. This forum is visited more by engineers on the tooling team while the latter has people from the Flex SDK team.

Scaling issue going from computer to flat screen tv.

I have a client that has shot thousands of pictures from his world travels over the years some in the raw format some in jpeg. He created a slide show in Photoshop Elements of the pictures and when he shows them through his computer onto his large Toshiba HD flat screen some of them come out jagged (doesn't matter if they are jpeg or raw). I am assuming it is a scaling issue causing this. Question can some one please give me the right instructions on how to go about fixing this so all of his pictures come out crystal clear on his flat screen? Thanks.

What is the current pixel dimension of the images that are causing the issue?

Classic tween scaling issue

I have two jpeg images that are converted to movie clip symbols. When attempting to scale one from zero out to infinity (zoom out look), I apply the classic tween and the image zooms out above the top of my document window instead of going straight out. Is there something I can troubleshoot to fix this? I belive the registration point on the symbol is in the center, but how can I confirm?

Hey, the best bet would be what the above poster said, click on your symbol and push Q to select the Free Transform tool and change the registration point to fit in the center. If you're having any scaling issues using tweens I'd just remove the tween and try again, I find tweening always buggy.

Importing Microsoft Word doc to InDesign with embedded EPS art ~ scaling issue

Hi, my workflow calls for creating content in Microsoft Word 2010 with embedded EPS art, in this case MathType 6.7a math objects. When I import these manuscripts (after saving as Word 97/2003 format) into my Adobe InDesign CS5.5 templates, the embedded inline graphics have been resized. Strangely, InDesign is keeping the container frame at the correct dimensions and then upsizing or downsizing the art inside that box.
When I export a sample graphic from the Word file and unembed the same graphic after import it into InDesign, the two graphics are different sizes. InDesign might increase the size of one embedded graphic by 400% and then scale it down to 25% inside the anchored picture box and then in the next anchored picture box it might decrease the size the art to 50% and scale it to 200%.
I did a test and created a graphic in Adobe Illustrator, saved it as EPS, placed the graphic into a Microsoft Word 2010 document, saved it out to 97/2003 format, imported that doc into an empty Adobe InDesign CS5.5 file. Again! InDesign changed the size of the art and re-scaled it to appear the same.
I've been able to duplicate this issue on InDesign CS4 also, on both Windows XP and Windows 7.
Has anyone else run into this issue? Does anyone know why the InDesign import filter doesn't import inline art in a Word document at 100%? Thanks for the help!

My solution for this is:
1. Place *.docx (yes, docx) word document with mathtype equations into indesign. This will set correct baseline for equations which is very important.
2. download this scalegraphics script http://in-tools.com/downloads/indesign/scripts/ScaleGraphics.zip
3. copy script from zip folder to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\Scripts\Scripts Panel\Samples\JavaScript
4. open palet (window/autoamtion/scripts) scripts, find new sript and run it
Voila, all equations is at 100%...
Script explanation: http://in-tools.com/article/scripts-blog/scale-graphics-script/
In links palete equations have eps extension but this is embeded wmf files so you cant open them in photoshop or distill it with distiller.-((( I use export to pdf option in indesign to make pdf file.
If you want all this eps links to export from indesign use this method:
1. in links palete select all links
2. in palete menu choose "unembed link"
3. on answer window choose "no"
4. select folder where you want indesign save files
5. press "select"
6. now you have all links in new folder unembed from indesign document and you can edit it with mathtype.

Image Field - Scaling Issue

Hi,
I'm using Interactive Forms for priting sales orders. For each line item I display a small product image in an image field. For this image field I use the setting "Sizing - Scale Image Proportionally". If I use this form as a print form evrything works fine, the image is being scaled correctly. But if I use it as an interactive form (parameter /1BCDWB/DOCPARAMS-FILLABLE = 'X' ) the following occurs:
The image is being resized to fit into the image field. It looks like using "Sizing - Scale Image to Fit Rectangle". The funny thing: If I use a default image for this field, it is being displayed correctly in the "Body Pages" tab, but not in the "PDF Preview". It's only being scaled proportionally if in the form properties the preview type is "Print Form" (or parameter /1BCDWB/DOCPARAMS-FILLABLE = ' ' ).
In my eyes it looks like an ADS issue. But maybe somebody of you got an idea how I could fix that problem.
Thanks & regards,
Matthias

hi,
the process which u followed is correct but the thing is u hv forget to enable the check box called "embedded image"........ which will be present in the image properties.......... if u enable this check box then the image will be displayed in pdf preview.
I hope i solved the issue.
Thnx,
Vishnu

Photoshop CS6 Scaling issues: Vector/Raster smart objects

My team and I have noticed some strange issues when affecting the overall interpolation of a .psd via scaling, cropping, or canvas resize.
Test:
Original .psd is even x even overall pixel dimensions.
Original vector and raster smart object assets are all proportionally scaled with width x height percentages equal.
Preferences: "Snap vector tools and transforms to pixel grid" is turned off
Resize .psd via Image > Image Size palette.
Scale styles, constrain proportions selected.
Every interpolation style tested.
Resize the .psd to 50%
Result: All smart objects (both types) no longer are proportionately scaled. Usually off by a minor amount under 1/10th of a percent.
Some objects' center point shift a half pixel to the right or left.
This also occurs if we use the crop tool or resize the canvas.
Is this a known bug and if so, is there:
1) any setting to truly lock proportions?
2) any resolution being pursued currently?
Though the shift and the disproproptions seem minor, the overall quality of items such as icons, hairlines, and other things that should be more crisp become far more degraded in CS6 vs CS5.
We have over 100 users and need to evaluate if we should drop back down to CS5, where we weren't having any of these issues, as our work demands a lot of precision, so you can see why this is worrisome.
Thanks!

I'm not going to say anything about the abysmal rendering of Vector Smart Objects in CS6 because it'll be beating a dead horse but I can explain the issues you see with measurements after scaling.
The slightly disproportionate scaling and half-pixel shift of the centre is unavoidable when it happens because the resulting Smart Object/Vector Smart Object must measure an integer number of pixels in height and width and be perfectly aligned to the document pixel grid. That's true in CS5 and CS6.
Say a SO/VSO originally measures 102 x 103 pixels and you scale it by 50%. The Options bar may say the result is 51 x 51.5 px but the result will really be 51 x 52 px, and therefore the new height will really be 50.49% of the old height.
The original SO/VSO is an even number of pixels wide and an odd number of pixels high, therefore its centre will be halfway down a pixel. The 50%-scaled SO/VSO is an odd number of pixels wide and an even number of pixels high, therefore its centre will be halfway across a pixel.

Yoga 2 Pro Resolution Scaling Issues

So I just picked this laptop up from Best Buy the other day and so far I am loving it. However that is not to say that it has been entirely without issues so far and I do apologize if this issue has been brought up before but I was unable to find a decent answer in my searches.
I have checked this on a few games but I will focus on one that I want to play the most but also seems to have the most issues.
So this laptop is just not powerful enough to run a lot of games at the full 3200x1800 resolution and I totally understand that and was not expecting to, however, when turning the resolution down, say to 1600x900 instead of scaling the resolution to fill the screen, it runs it as the actual pixels inside a black box. This has the effect of making the games just too tiny to see, not to mention half or more of the screen is just being wasted.
This seems to really only happen when running a game in Direct X 11 mode, DX9 seems to work fine, but causes other problems and is really not a great option. Alternately, some games, I can set the windows resolution down (which scales fine in windows) and then the game will run and scale. However, specificially with Civilization 5 (one of the games I was most excited to play) it still does not work properly. There is a work around, but it is less than ideal, and I am at a loss as to why I just cant run the game at a lower resolution and have it scale and fill the screen.
Any help or information would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

There is a setting, however, when at native resolution, instead of giving the option to scale to fit display, it just has another option that says maintain display scaling or something like that (I am not on the laptop right now, so I have to double check). As far as I can tell it just does not scale properly. When I change to a non-native resolution, the options change and it then says scale to fit screen, which is what i want.
However, I would rather not have to change to a non native resolution every time I want to run a game. And, specifically in the case of Civilization 5, it doesn't help. The only thing I have found so far that works at all is to change the resolution to 1920x1080, then set the ingame resolution to 1440x900. It is a pain, and ends up in a streched picture.
I tried to install the latest intel drivers from their website (not sure if it would have fixed the issue, since there was no changelog) but it gave me an error saying they were not verified for my device.
This is a rather frustrating issue, especially considering that every computer I have ever owned up until this point has been able to scale the image to fit the screen with no problems what so ever.

Printing and Page scaling issues

On a lot of my documents -- scanned from 8x11 b&w pages -- Acrobat seems to want to scale down the pages to print correctly, when this is not true.
Is there anything that I can do to solve this issue?
I realize that I can set page scaling to none, but this is NOT a solution. Every person printing the document would have to do the same thing. I want to solve this problem so that even if Acrobat is set to "Shrink to Fit", that it knows to NOT scale down the pages.

In addition to the above comment, Acrobat or Adobe Reader will always try to scale a page down if it is printing on paper of the same size. If you want to make it even more fool proof (a user could override the above setting and select scale pages to fit) make the page size a bit smaller than letter, then even if they select shrink to fit it won't need to.

AE scaling issues with Windows 8.1 and 3200x1800 displays?

Hi There,
I run AE, Premiere, Photoshop all CS6 and on a Windows 8.1 - 3200x1800 laptop and it seem like all Adope Products - also Lighroom 4.4 don't scale properly. All buttons are about half the size of the mouse arrow. Really pain for the eyes and back having to work like that.
Tried Corel Draw X3 from 2006 and it works perfectly. Almost all other Programs don't seem to have this issue.
Will this be fixed soon?
Thanks.

This was leaked about the Windows update coming in April. Do you think this will fix it?
Built-in font scaling to 500 percent. Wzor notes that 250 percent font scaling is set as the default when you install on a monitor with more than 1,800 vertical pixels
