Scale and Illustrator size

Hello everyone!
I really want to know how to deal with Illustrator jumping to 6400%  scale view when I just press the button of the scaleview?
Also I have some problems with image size - I set it to 450 px, but there appears to be a fraction like 450.03 ?
Thanks for help!

Vitessa,
It may be time for the list to solve general strangenesses.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • R2400 Paper Size Settings in InDesign and Illustrator - Leopard 10.5.2

    Since upgrading to Leopard 10.52 from Tiger 10.4.11, the "Paper Size" settings (in InDesign CS3) and the "Media Size" settings in Illustrator CS3 show some funky designations. That is, all the paper sizes have some cryptic appendages. For example, the 13x19 paper sizes are being displayed as follows:
    SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_3)
    SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_11)
    SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_12)
    SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_13)
    SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_31)
    SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_32)
    SuperB(13x19in)(EPSON_33)
    However, when I click on the "Page Setup..." button, the paper sizes for 13x19 are displayed correctly:
    Super B (13x19 in)
    Super B (13x19 in) (Sheet Feeder - Borderless)
    Super B (13x19 in) (Roll Paper)
    Super B (13x19 in) (Roll Paper - Borderless)
    Super B (13x19 in) (Manual - Roll)
    Super B (13x19 in) (Manual - RollBorderless))
    Super B (13x19 in) (Manual -Front)
    If I first select the needed paper size within the "Page Setup..." button and then come back out to select the Paper/Media Size outside the "Page Setup..." button, in some cases, the selected driver has changed according to what *might* be the equivalent to what was selected inside the "Page Setup..." button, but in some cases the selected driver outside the "Page Setup..." button does not change.
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, which is the latest version for 10.5.2. I'm not sure what's going on here, but this issue is only occurring with InDesign and Illustrator (CS3) -- not in Photoshop CS3, Lightroom CS3, Word 2004, Excel 2004, or Apple Mail. It seems like it's only an issue for InDesign and Illustrator because they have the separate the "Page Setup..." function?
    Any ideas on what's going on?

    Hi, Ian --
    No problem joining in, as I experienced color issues with InDesign CS3 in Tiger, before upgrading to Leopard. While my prints are not showing as much disparity as yours seem to be, the output of a file of mine containing only color swatches that was originally created in InDesign CS2 does not match the output of the same file printed from InDesign CS3. The InDesign CS2-created file was printing out off-colored and muddy looking when printed from InDesign CS3 -- very bad.
    As you can read from the link below, however, when I created a new InDesign CS3 file and set up the very same color percentages for the swatches, the output from that file was MUCH better, although it is slightly darker and a little too vivid. While it's a very close match, it still does not accurately represent the true values of those color swatches.
    This info may not help your situation. I hope you'll at least get some much improved results very soon.

  • How to apply "scale to frame size" to a bunch of stills in CS4 and most likely all PP pro.

    Hello, I was looking for an answer to this procedure after trying to use the "paste attribute" function; that is ticking this option on one picture, and pasting (as attribute) it to the rest of the stills. As this did not work I finally found a Youtube video showing how simple (and embarrassing) it was. -  Just highlight all your stills on the timeline and right click anywhere on the selected area. Then click on the "scale to frame size" to put a tick against it. NB In my case though a few things happened when I tried, and one I remember was that my selection had already a still with the tick against the "resize..." (as I tried and erred various other ways) so it would not work, I guess because the program already could see the tick although it's only on one still. Most likely if I hadn't learned the "paste attribute" method I would have chosen this but here you are as an erratic user I opted for the less obvious possible method!  I hope this entry will help people who want a quick answer  to this situation. I'm a little surprised though as I thought I read somewhere that PP as "scale to frame size" as a default!

    Yes that's right Bill, I think that's what the video did show and that I tried to share in "my discussion" But Ann explained to me how to turn it on as a default from Preference which is a smarter way to go about it, providing it's done before importing the pictures in the project window. Else, yes that the way to do it!
    Actually it would be nice to be able to choose the size of the frame so to fit it directly into the safe area which ever is chosen, it would cut a couple of steps when animating the still, avoiding scaling into the safe area (I'm a dreamer!)

  • Tablet PC calibration error in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS3 whilst in Extended Desktop Mode

    Hey everyone!
    I've run into a snag which hasn't bugged me before because I never used a second monitor, but now that I do, Photoshop and Illustrator don't function properly.
    I am running my Adobe products on my Lenovo X61 Thinkpad Tablet, which is Wacom PenEnabled. It's got the basic digitizer pen and pen pressure features, no stylus tilt or anything.
    Whenever I run Photoshop or Illustrator in Extended Desktop Mode so I can have a different window open on my external monitor and the Adobe app on my tablet screen, my stylus goes strange. It seems to think that the extended desktop is part of the Adobe window, so when I move my stylus to draw, the cursor will appear on the external monitor, usually proportionate to the size of the screen...ie. It interprets the external and tablet screens as one desktop and the top left corner of my tablet screen is the top left of my external, whilst the bottom right on tablet IS the bottom right on tablet, if that makes any sense...sorry.
    So I can't draw anything in photosho unless I set it back to standard desktop mode, or mirrored desktop. I've searched over the net and these forums and I can't find a fix for this. I was walking in harvey norman the other day and the Wacom Cintiq 12" was there on display, and it had the same issue with extended desktop and photoshop.
    Has anyone had this issue before and/or does anyone know of a fix for it? I'll keep searching around and playing with the computer until I fix it and I'll post any solutions I find here if noone else has one.
    My system details are:
    Abobe Photoshop CS3 10.0.0
    Adobe Illustrator CS3 13.0.0
    OS: Windows Vista Build 6001, Service Pack 1, 32bit
    RAM: 2GB
    HD: 18.2GB free Disk Space (out of 66.3GB on the Active Partition)
    Video: Intel GMA: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family

    I'm using an HP tx2011au tablet pc, using adobe flash cs3 and have the exact same problem. it becomes decalibrated only while the flash window is open, and only while flash has a file open, and only when using an extended desktop. even if flash is open and it has no files open it works fine.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 UI Menu Text And Icon Size?

    so i really like that adobe has added the "experimental" option to increase the ui menu text and icon size in photoshop cc 2014, it was almost unreadable on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor with photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4, but the lone 200% setting is too big... seems that 125%, 150%, or maybe even 175% would be much better solutions. in fact, for reasons i can't quite understand, the ui text and icon size in illustrator cc 2014 is spot on, absolutely perfect on my monitor, even tho there is no option for increased ui size as far as i can tell, it was spot on the moment i installed and launched it.
    in short, the photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4 user interfaces were identical in size as far as i could tell, and far too small on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor. in terms of cc 2014, the illustrator ui is perfect out of the box on my monitor, considerably larger than illustrator cs4, while the photoshop cc 2014 ui is identical to cs4, tiny, but can be enlarged 200% which makes the ui too big. why couldn't/didn't adobe just make the photoshop cc 2014 base ui the exact same size as the illustrator cc 2014 ui? it would have been perfect (for my monitor size).

    thanks... just wish illustrator cc 2014 wasn't so perfect in terms of ui size, i mean it's just great and, consequently, makes it seem as if the ball was dropped with photoshop cc 2014... i mean how can one be spot on while the other be so far off?

  • Windows 8.1 and Illustrator CC 2014- performance computer

    so i've exhausted myself searching...i actually think this will be the first time i've ever had to ask a question on the forums for ANY adobe product...i generally can find an answer; it's also generally my fault! slow movement of objects in illustrator due to high point count.
    Issue:
    i'm having issues with files that have a high number of points. i cannot use simplify as there is a lot of text involved in these files and as these are baked onto white china every imperfection in the artwork is quite noticable. i can't find where the problem and/or bottleneck is, i've tried running hwinfo side by side with illustrator and see if anything gets maxed out when i try to move an object but nothing ramps up very high. file size for the file i'm working on at the very moment is 8mb, but it has roughly 150k points. any options? settings? adjustments?
    computer specs:
    gigabyte z68xp-ud3
    i5-2500k (runs @ 4ghz, 4.5ghz, and stock with turbo. tried all 3 just to make sure)

    crucial m500- 468gb ssd
    two 2tb seaggates and a 64gb cache ssd
    what i've tried:
    think this was a mac suggestion but i double checked that i have verdana and tahoma..pretty positive those are standard windows fonts
    turned off gpu features
    i could not find a single article similar to my issue

    Did you figure this out?
    If not, have a look at your cores... see if Illustrator is only using one. I think it's badly "optimised" as I see many different things only using one core and causing delays in OS and Illustrator.

  • Why Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 are so slow on my MacBook Pro early 2011?

    First of all sorry for my english
    I recently installed Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 and they tend to lag even on just during normal work operations like zooming, opening a file, selecting a tool, browsing menus etc etc.
    Cpu, Ram and Gpu usage are normal, I mean when I use these software there's at list 85% of free Cpu, 1GB of Ram still available, and 80% of free GPU. And I got 30GB left on my hardrive which is little but I believe is enough.
    So I cannot believe this slow performance is due hardware limitations. There must be some driver issue or something else.
    Anyone knows why CS6 is so slow?
    Software version:
    Photoshop CS6 13.0.1
    Illustrator CS6 13.0.0
    My Specs:
    Os: Snow Leopard 10.6.8
    Cpu: Intel Core i7 2.3 GHz
    L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB

    My experience is that Photoshop can demand and use prodigious amounts of memory and disk space, much more than one might expect from the size of the files being worked on. While I don't have direct experience with CS6, my daughter uses CS4 on a Macbook Air with 4 GB memory and she had 100 GB free (on a 250 GB solid state drive). CS4 is less demanding than CS6, and in fact with the SSD, it runs pretty well, even with just 4 GB memory (the solid state drive is basically like memory, in fact, in some ways). However after running Photoshop on some projects for a while, we noticed she had only 60 GB free disk space. After restarting her Mac, she had 100 GB free again. Photoshop CS4 was using up 40 GB of disk space! And this was simply editting some (multiple) photos from a digital camera. Photoshop not only has its own memory management processes, but it also pages to disk and uses disk space as "scratch space" in its own fashion. I think that it is inadvisable to run Photoshop with less than 100 GB free disk space, and that's with CS4, not even CS6. And if you don't have a solid state drive, the throughput might slow down immensely unless you have a lot of memory (I think someone else pointed this out already).
    Bottom line -- based on what I have seen with CS4, 4 GB memory is too low by at least a factor of x2 (16 GB memory would be even better), and I'd say a minimum of 100 GB free disk space is a must as well. I saw CS4 using more than 40 GB of "scratch disk space" and you are using CS6, which must use significantly more resources than CS4, and you indicate only 30 GB free space. That seems too low to me. I think other Adobe major software packages are similarly demanding, unlike any other software I have seen or used. For instance, I think you would have no trouble running MS-Office software (which is also known for using computer resources, but not anywhere as much as Adobe software).
    One thing you can do is when you notice things slowing down, not only quit all other software except for CS6, but also in the Finder, under the Go menu, enter
    /private/var
    under Go To Folder ...
    and then look in the folder called
    vm
    If you see swapfiles, add up the total space they are taking, and also the space taken by the sleepimage file. These are working to decrease the amount of free space you have and they can quickly grow to tens of GB when Photoshop and other Adobe softwares are running.
    Since it sounds like you have now upgraded your RAM, that should help, but you may find that the swapfiles and sleepimage files are taking even more disk apce faster and I think 100 GB free space is needed to avoid further slowdowns.

  • Is there a tool available that can be executed by another process to scale the actual size of a PDF?

    Is there a tool available that can be executed by another process to scale the actual size of the printed PDF file by X%?  We are attaching PDF files to printed output using the Oracle DocuMaker product, and are running into margin issues with the attached PDF.  We need to keep a 3/4 inch margin on our pages for sorting/finishing equipment, and the attached PDFs do not all conform to our margin requirements.

  • Need to global find and scale and resize frame on a linked graphic

    I have a whole set of files that contain multiple instances of an icon set (placed AI file). All of these are formatted to flow in the text as anchored objects with various object styles. I need to make sure that all instances of the placed AI icons are scaled to 30% and that their frames are fit to content. I have a LOT of files and each one has at least 20 of these icons. I thought the Object find and replace would help, but unfortunately it will not let you search for links, and while I can search for the object styles, there's no option to change scale and the fit content options does not have the "fit frame to content" (and doesn't work anyway from the few tests I ran using "fit content proportionally"). 
    Does anyone have any ideas for how I can fix this globally in nearly 500 documents without having to manually select each icon and change the scale and apply the fit frame to content? I've done a handful of files this way, and it's VERY time consuming.

    First make sure this works by duplicating a file and testing.
    Make 1 image the size you need it
    Grep search for
    Find
    ~a
    Change to
    ~C
    if that doesn't work then try ~c (lower case) I can't remember how that works
    If it does work - then you can open 2 documents and choose "All Documents" in the Search field.
    If it's fine on 2 docs - then I'd say go ahead and do the rest.
    I stress to please use a duplicate set of files in case things go bad.

  • Is there way to "scale to frame size" a bin of clips?

    I running a 1920 x 1080 doc project in Premiere Pro CC with a range of media types and sizes.  I purposely did NOT preset the "default scale to frame size" preference to maintain the quality of my still image data base to allow pans and zooms.  I have since imported, logged and sub clipped a very large number of stock archive 720 x 486 QT movies.  Having done so without presetting the Premiere default scaling, I am now having to apply "scale to frame size" to each edit in my sequence as I work.  Is there way to "scale to frame size" my bin of clips? or am I now stuck having to convert the original 720 x 486 QT movies to 1920 x 1080 and then relinking in Premiere to maintain all my sub clipping data?

    what about in the bin, select the clip, go up to the top of the screen and beside File and Edit, select Clip
    then go down to Video Options
    and choose Scale to Frame Size
    does that do what you want?

  • Best file format for PS and Illustrator files to be placed into ID

    I'm writing a proposal using InDesign. It will be output to PDF for circulation among the team members; I imagine they will view it on a variety of screens and some will print it out on various desktop printers.
    I have a variety of images, all in color, done in InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator that need to be placed into the propsal. Sizes range from 5x7 to 2x2. Some are quite complex with fine detail.
    I've just viewed the proposal in ID Overprint Preview / High Quality Display. The images don't look great. Lots of ragged lines.
    I usually save everything to JPEG with a quality of 80-90...but that is just a habit, I have no reason or justification for this practice.
    I'm wondering if I should go back into the original ID, PS and AI files and resave them as something else before and then place them again.
    Does anyone have any recommmendations or thoughts to offer?
    I'm using CS4 on a MAC. My computer is a little bit underpowered for the project at hand, but I'm willing to put up with a bit of slow performance and lag if it results in a better end product.

    Jagged lines is a hallmark of low resolution, not file type, or a lower quality screen preview than you think you are using. Check the Display performace settings again to be sure they really are correct, and if they're set to allow object level settings, you'll need to verify that each object is also set correctly.
    Beond that, saving as .jpeg is always destructive. For the web, that's fine, but for print you should never use anything, in my opinion, but the highest quality settings for saving jpegs, and I advise again using jpeg at all. If you image is all raster data (pixels) save as .psd or .tif. If it has live type or other vector content, save as Photoshop PDF. In Illustrator save as .ai or PDF with Illustrator editing capability. If you change the extension of the Photoshop PDFs to PDP they will open in Photoshop instead of Acrobat when you use Edit Original.
    As I said, the jaggies are a hallmark of low resolution. We often have people tell us that the file is 300 ppi, but it turns out that's at some very small dimension and the imaga has been scaled up in ID. Both the Links panel and Info panel can show you the resolution information for your images. There will be two numbers, actual and effective. Effective resolution is the only number that matters. For printing on a desktop printer I like to see a minimum of 150 ppi, but you might get away with as low as 90 for a non-critical image. For press 300 ppi would be the rule of thumb, and dropping below 200 is asking for trouble.
    How the file looks in ID is not nearly as informative as how a PDF exported from the file looks, or prints. For a high-res image in ID you are still looking at a lower resolution screen preview, not the actual image as it will be output. Export settings that downsample too far or apply too much compression to reduce file size can also turn a good document into a clunker.

  • Printer won't scale to paper size

    I have a HP Photosmart C6270.
    Recently I did a clean install on my computer and also reinstalled the printer as a network printer (instead of previously directly through USB.) I also updated all HP software.
    Regularly I receive PDF docs, some of which are formatted on pages bigger than I can print  (A4 is the standard I use) BUT despite selecting "Scale to paper size", the printer app (and subsequently the physical print), ignore this instruction and the document remains too big.
    Can anyone help?

  • Scale and Crop in slideshow not working

    I put together 2 slideshows with music and used the pan and zoom feature. Unfortunately, when i select scale and crop for the images, its still showing black bars instead of filling the screen.  The images vary in size and rotatin but they are all high quality. I am working in cs6.
    Any advice or solution would be greatly appreciated.

    As a workaround, you might want to look into my workflow of using Still Images.
    Now, I must start by saying that I nearly always create my slideshow in PrPro, and do not normally use the SlideShow feature in En.
    I gather my Images into folders, that differentiate their size, and their orientation, and will often place those, that will require Panning on a Zoomed OUT Image, into yet another.
    In Photoshop, I have Actions to Scale to the necessary dimensions, and also apply Rotation, if required. For those Images that WILL have the Pans, I calculate how large they need to be, and adust one of the Actions for that purpose.
    Then, I use Automate>Batch, choosing the appropriate Action, and set my Source Folder and Destination Folder, as needed. Those Ps Actions work on the every Image in the Source Folder, and output (Save_As) to my Destination Folder, as PSD.
    Those Scaled files are then Imported, and any Pans, Zooms, etc., are applied to them.
    I have not used En's Scale function, but have read of a few problems with it. Also, remember that any sort of Scale to Frame, will only Scale up to the point, where the greatest dimension fills that dimension on the Frame, so if you have, say a portrait oriented Image (vertical), the Scale function will only Scale that up, until the vertical dimension fills the vertical dimension of your Frame, leaving black bars on either side (Pillarboxed). Same for a landscape oriented image (horizontal), whose Aspect Ratio is less than the Video Frame. That Image will be Scaled until the horizontal dimension fills the horizontal dimension of the Video Frame, and as the Aspect Ratio does not match up to the Aspect Ratio of the Video Frame, you will be left with black bars above and below (Letterboxed).
    As required, I also do any Cropping that would be required by differences in Aspect Ratio, so that my processed Images WILL match my Video Frame Size.
    Maybe others will have some tips on using the features in En, to perhaps save you from using the workaround.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
