Saving as SVG (w/out AI editability) changes artboard size ...why?

Saving as SVG (w/out AI editability) changes artboard size ...why? ai saves the artboard dimensions as the frame, unless it decides to expand the frame to accommodate extraneous material. what is weird and disappointing is that ai does not read these frame values back in to recreate the artboard; you have to use preserve ai capability which attaches huge code. How to get it to retain the chosen artboard size?  Thanks, Rich.

I have the same problem. When I save as AI and reopen it the graphics are crisp and align to the pixel grid. When I save as SVG and reopen it the graphics are no longer crisp and no longer align to the pixel grid. It looks like the artboard shifts .5 pixels right and down. That's just odd.
Here's the screenshots (sorry 144dpi).
AI File:
SVG file: (do you see the .5 pixel shift?)
This really concerned me because I am designing SVG's for the web - so they would look crisp on the pixel grid. I tested the SVG in html and it looked crisp on 72dpi and 144dpi displays. So the problem is only how Illustrator imports the SVG, which is very weird. Any thoughts why this happens?
Also, i'm using Illustrator CS6.

  • After processing in CS6 saved jpegs are washed out in when viewing in bridge - Why?

    after processing in CS6 saved jpegs are washed out in when viewing in bridge - Why?

    I have been trying to figure out if I made any accidental changes in Photoshop. So far I haven't found anything. That might simply mean that I don't know all of the places to look. I have called Adobe and been on the support websites and haven't gotten a clear answer. I save as a JPEG with an embedded color file sRGB. Any suggestions on where else to look for accidental changes?
    Everyone seems to agree that iPhoto doesn't work well with Adobe and should be avoided in the workflow. Truly, I had no idea! I just like the simplicity. The Mac store never mentioned problems between the two but did offer to help me purchase Aperture. I will use Bridge from now on to view the images and manage folders.
    Thanks for your message!

  • No longer have ability to change artboard size...

    Hi,
    Hope you're well.
    I'm working in CS6.
    As I recall, you used to be able to change the artboard size when you first hit shift + O. There was a window for it at the top of the screen. Now,..for some reason that option is not there. It only gives me the ability to change the x and y coordinates. I have to double click the artboard tool to change the size of the artboard(s). How do I get back that ability?
    Thanks!

    So, to clarify, you simply do not have the width and height boxes shown below?

  • Exporting from IPhoto 6 to folders on External HD changes photo size WHY?

    I have read your replies to other questions about having photos reside on an external hard drive and understand what is said. However I have a problem with the size of the photos changing once I have exported them to a new folder on the external HD. Please read my issue and help me if possible.
    I have IPhoto 6.0.5, I recently purchased the upgrade and installed ILife 06 without problem.
    Because I have been running out of HD space on my Powerbook G4 I decided that I wanted to put all of my photos that are in the IPhoto library onto my external drive. What I did not want to do was just copy my whole library all at once.
    Instead in IPhoto I went to File and Export, chose my external HD and then created a new folder with the same name as the folder I wanted to export. Then I exported and waited for it to complete.
    I had no problems doing this and successfully copied all my folders from IPhoto, some 7,000 photos.
    Now that I have all the new folders on the external HD my goal was to be able to open and edit/adjust any photo using Photoshop and Bridge. I have recently learned that Bridge gives me a lot more options than IPhoto.
    I really want to get away from using IPhoto for anything except for creating cards, calendars and books with the new ILife 06 program.
    I have not deleted any of my photos from IPhoto just yet, to be on the safe side.
    I have been shooting with a Nikon D70 camera and I normaly shoot with the camera set to take both a "Fine" jpg and a NEF photo at the same time. When I downloaded these photos to IPhoto the result was that I have two photos of the same image with the photos labeled automaticaly in numerical order. Here is an example: DSC_0001.JPG and DSC_0001.NEF
    When I go into IPhoto and click on DSC_0001.JPG and look at the size information of the image it tells me:
    Format JPEG Image
    Size: 2000 x 3008 and 658KB.
    When I click on DSC_0001.NEF and look at the size information of the image it tells me:
    Format TIFF Image
    Size: 120 x 160 and 5.4MB.
    Now when I go to my External HD and check the same information for the same photos this is what it tells me:
    DSC_0001.JPG:
    Kind: JPEG,
    Size 1.2MB on disk
    DSC_0001.TIF:
    Kind: TIFF Document,
    Size 148KB on disk
    As you can see several things have changed during the exporting to the new folder on the external HD.
    First the photo that is supposed to be the JPEG is now 1.2MB
    Second the photo that is supposed to be the TIFF is now 148KB
    Also notice that the largest file is no longer 4.5MB but 1.2MB and it says it is a JPEG.
    Do you know why this would be happening?
    Do you know how I can export a folder of photos from IPhoto to a new folder on my external HD and not loose or have change any of the size and kind of photo??
    I am hoping that you can shed some light on the situation.
    Thanks for your response,

    What settings did you use in the Export Dialogue?
    When you go File -> Export you get a tabbed box with various options. In the File Export tab you can choose to scale the pics, or keep them the same size, change or retain the format.

  • Why does CS6 no longer export images out at their boundary/artboard size? Am I missing something?

    I recently upgraded to Illustrator CS6, and suddenly clients have been remarking that the file sizes are wrong or there's "a ton of white space around the logo." I checked it out, and sure enough, it appears that whenever I export a file, it does not crop it to the image boundary like it used to, even if I had manually adjusted the artboard to fit closely around it. After a bit of trial and error, I discovered that I have to click "Use Artboards" on the Export dialog each time. The super annoying part is that it doesn't STAY checked, AND it adds a number to the end of the file name. So I often forget to check it (not used to the extra step in workflow), and if I make a modification to the file, I can't just export over the previous version. It requires me to export it, go find it in finder, and manually delete the extra number off the file name. Ugh! The extra steps are adding way too much time when I'm saving out many files. I'm about ready to go back to my previous version just from this alone.  
    Help! Am I totally missing something? Is there an easier way to do this? It seems like the addition of this feature would only cause extra problems...

    I did a quick test of this, and my CS6 Ai does indeed export to the exact size of the artboard, even if there are elements outside this boundary. Imo, this is an improvement over earlier versions: if you had some art hanging over the artboard edge in CS5, the export size would be larger than the artboard, to include even hidden paths. But CS6 is an improvement in this regard. Yes, it would be nice if your choice of "use artboard" was remembered or a choice in the prefs, but this is a small inconvenience, imo. Regarding the addition of -01, etc. to each successive export, why not just send the latest export to your client? You can delete the earlier versions later.
    Another plus: if you run in 64-bit, CS5 is slow on opening each file, which is thankfully not so with CS6.

  • For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. Nothing there about sizing.

    For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. I don't see anything about re-sizing when I click the adjust tab: only saturation and tint levels. Thank you.

    With respect to digital images, there really is no size in inches. The size is given as number of pixels horizontally and vertically. In iPhoto '09 you click the little "i" inthe lower right side of the window and it will display information related to the selected photo, including the pixel dimensions. I do not have iPhoto '11 installed so I don't know if it is the same there.
    In some applications, such as preview, it has something additional called Dots per Inch (DPI) which you would think would allow you to convert the pixel dimensions to inches. It is not a real thing, though. The DPI is determined by how large or small you have chosen to print your photo and the capabilities of your printer. 
    There is also something called Aspect Ratio, which is usually expressed in inches x inches such as 6x9 but that doesn't mean the size on the screen or when printed is 6x9.  It is the ratio of the pixel dimensions.  When cropping your photos, you will have several standard aspect ratios to choose from plus any custom ones you create.
    In iPhoto '09, after you choose Print, in the Print Setting window are the settings for the size you want the photo printed. You want to shoose a setting with the same aspect ratio of your photo. Otherwise, iPhoto will resize and/or crop your photo to fit the size you have chosen. 

  • IPhoto not saving editing changes:

    I am attempting to edit changes in my IPHOTO library and notice that it's not saving everything that I want. It is making some changes i.e. brightness/contract, however sharpness and other editing options are NOT being saved. Very odd, I am wondering if IPHOTO 6 has fixed this problem? It appears others are having this problems with issue as well and no there does not appear to be any concrete answers. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

    Hello, Phez,
    It may be that iPhoto's preference file has been damaged. Delete it and see if that corrects the problem. iPhoto will create a new one when it determines that the old one is gone.
    Go to YourUserName->Library->Preferences->com.apple.iPhoto.plist and delete that plist.
    Also, you should always repair permissions before and after any installations/upgrades. Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility. Select your hard drive's icon by its name, then be sure you are in 'First Aid' and choose 'Repair Disk Permissions."

  • Edit changes not saved in CS5.5

    Several hours of edits were performed with frequent saves.  opened project next day and over 2 hour of edit changes were lost. Any one else run into this and is there a way to force the save?

    Be sure you opened the correct project.  It's happened before where someone has had two copies of the project in different locations and they opened the wrong one.

  • Help: artboard resizes when saving to svg in illustrator cc

    I am on a pc (windows 8) using illustrator cc and trying to save from an .ai file to an .svg file. I've also taken a previously saved svg and manually fixed the artboard, then saved. Still resizes the artboard. I've done this multiple times with sucess, but after updating the software last week, the artboard is expanding when I save. I thought I must have changed a setting, but don't think so. I've read lots of posts and tried all kinds of settings but here doesn't seem to be a solution out there. Wish I could go back to the older version!

    I have an artboard approx: 612px by 390px.  I save file as svg (w response off) and no artboards chosen (or with 1 artboard chosen). I close the file and then I open it again. The artboard is now letter size and the artwork is the same.
    But now what is happening is the artboard remains the same size but the artwork is offset below (negative y) and looks like a second artboard, but it isn't. I can correct this by going to objects> artboards> fit to selected art, but it still won't save (hold the correction). I have hundreds of files to save, so fixing manually even if I could, is not an option.
    Thinking these 2 problems are related?

  • I cannot figure out how to change the photo size on my iPhone 5s.  I was given the choice of small, medium or large the first time I took a picture.  Now I have no idea how to change it to medium.  Can anyone help?

    I cannot figure out how to change the photo size on my iPhone 5s.  The first time I took a pic it asked if I wanted smalll,  medium or large and listed the pixels.  I chose small but am now finding that is too small.  Can anyone help me set it to medium now?  I can't find any setting for that.  I'm a newby to iPhones and have no idea what I'm doing.  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    By "sending" do you mean sending email?
    If so, what app are you using to take the photos on your iPhone 5? Or are the photos from a different source (saved to your Camera Roll from somewhere else, like a web page or Messages)?
    My guess is that Mail gives you the option to send different file sizes when it detects you are trying to Mail a really large photo file. The size of photos on the iPhone 5 is really big and some email providers may stop your mail from being delivered if attachments are too large. Thus, Mail tries to help you by offering to resize the photo.
    I suspect that if you are sending smaller files, Mail does not bother giving you options to save a smaller version. In fact, I have seen this behavior. So, if the photo is already "small enough", it gets sent as-is.
    To my  knowledge, there is no global iOS setting for this. Some apps may have different rules, of course.

  • Is it possible to edit/change audio files in a published html5 file?

    Is it possible to edit/change audio files in a published html5 file?

    Theoretically, YES, but they would need to be in exactly the same format and have the same filename.  Why would you be wanting to do this?  If the new files are not the same playing length, this could potentially throw out any synchronisation with other elements in the presentation.

  • Saving an SVG with Illustrator CC Not Working

    I am attempting to save an SVG with the new version of Illustrator (Creative Cloud) and it's not working. It seems the code that's output is quite different than that of the old version.
    Just to give you a bit of a background on my project, I'm adding a new icon to an existing AI sprite file.
    I hacked a solution to the problem by pasting the new bit of code for the new icon from the creative cloud-generated svg into the old CS6 file, and added fill color code to three different places in the new icon code to set the icon color - it was showing up as black and should have been white (it is white in the AI file).
    I tried saving the SVG many different ways to no avail - how I can properly save the svg file directly from Illustrator CC? Why isn't it working the same way it did in the previous version?
    Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

    Another thing to note - I was advised previously to check the "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" checkbox, but that did not work for me. I have tried a number of different SVG settings and nothing seems to work.
