Shadows or blurs around objects in IE7 & 8

We are in the beginning stage of throwing a website together for a customer. I am customizing a template from themeforest. It looks great in all browsers except IE7 and 8. The text and the boxes have unnecessary shadows and shading all around them.
I find that the homepage is the only page with the problem... therefore probably not a CSS issue since they all share the same stylesheets. The template creators say that there is no problem, however, please do see this screenshot from Adobe Browser Labs:

and here is the actual site URL:

Any ideas and insights would be most helpful. Thank you!

Hi
The problem is being cause by the use of IEFilters within the ie specific style sheets. No offence but the people who created these obviously have little or no experience in using IEFilters.
The simplest way to fix this is to remove the IEFilter code from the IE specific style sheets, as applying any fix now would take more time than it is worth.
The code is contained within -

Text blur around objects

Problem: text wrapped around an inserted object blurs, especially if the object has a shade. Increasing the Extra Space around the object reduces the blur, but does not get rid of it. And trying to achieve a wrap tighter than the default 12 points makes the blur very noticeable. The blur, though less visible, appears when Reflection, the jolly new feature in Pages 2, is used to go over text underneath an object.
This problem is particularly troublesome when producing professional print PDFs.
To see what I am talking about open the first page of the Smith Family Newsletter template and have a look at the characters to the right of the house photo in the centre of the page.
Has anyone dealt with this successfully? Would be very obliged if you could point me to a solution.

Hello sashura,
this happens when exporting to minor quality PDFs, because of the conversion of the shadow and reflection effects into images. Lower quality PDFs are stored with lower resolutions for bitmap images. If you need 1A PDF quality, use the ColorSync app for PDF saving. To do so, follow these steps:
1) Open the print requester in Pages and choose the item "ColorSync" in the 3rd pop-up menu.
2) There choose the last entry (for adding filter) of the pull-down menu "Quarz-Filter". Your document will be open in the ColorSync app.
3) Click on the button with the three filters in the tool bar of the window and a new window opens.
4) Create a new filter and name it for a PDF/X-3 filter.
5) Over the menu triangle button at the right of the filter name bar you can add filter content. Choose the component for PDF submenu and there the PDF/X-3 item.
6) Now you can see the filter attributes. In the row before the last one you can insert the resolution. This is important for shadows and fonts above and inside of shadowed shapes, too. With the attributes you have control over trim- and bleed boxes as well.
7) When you are ready with your settings, close the filter window and choose the just created filter with the pop-up menu at the bottom of the ColorSync window. Than press the accept button and save the PDF document.
With this you have the best control for PDF print options.
I hope this solves your problem, because since I use this I have no display quality problems for printing.

Drop Shadow Orange blur issue

AI CC v. x.0.0
Work PC Setup:
Core i7
16gb ram
Windows 8.1
GTX 750
The issue randomly arose on my co-workers pc. Has been working 100% until suddenly when she applies a drop shadow. The drop shadow has an orange blur extending out from it. However when we save out a file the orange disappears. No changes had been done to the pc and no updates were done. Restarting app and/or pc makes no difference. We made a new file separate from the original issue one, same deal. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Actually strangely enough we went back to take a screenshot and it seems to have fixed itself.
Options for the effect didn't matter. No matter the blending option, opacity, color, etc. Was done on varying color background as well as black and white bgs. Always had a peach-orange blur around the actual shadow itself. The exported image also was random variables I attempted. High quality or low quality jpg, PDF, TIF, or .eps. All appeared on screen perfectly fine in acrobat, windows image preview, and our rip. It was only in actual illustrator at it caused an issue. And now sadly I can't even show the silly thing. I apologize, but I do appreciate the real quick response.

How do I motion blur and object?

I have an Ace Of Spade playing card that I scanned as a PSD.
I imported it into Motion and moved it around the scene. I want to apply a motion blur to it but when I use the movement blur filter it does not motion blur the object.
What am I doing wrong?

There's info about motion blur in Motion's help. You don't need a filter for this. Motion blur is part of the Project and View settings. Project settings determine how much blur and how it is sampled. View settings turn it on and off for display and determine whether blur carries over to FCP. You need to do a couple things to get motion blur to work. First, check Motion blur under the View settings in Motion. Second, go to your sequence settings in FCP and under Render Control set Master Templates and Motion Projects quality to Best. Settings of Draft and Normal will not include motion blur. The amount of blur is controlled by the shutter angle and sample settings in the Motion project settings.
BTW, the filter you tried is for blurring motion in clips that already contain motion. For example, you could exaggerate the motion blur of cars moving through an intersection. When the cars move, the filter blurs them. When they stop, the blur stops. Make sense?

Does adobe air support drop shadows and blur?

Does adobe air support drop shadows and blur? I can see it on the swf on pc but I don't see it once I put it on the android as .apk. Thanks!

change your render mode to cpu and test.

Type on a path ignores text wrap around objects?

Indesign CS3: type on a path ignores text wrap around objects?
is this true? or do I have a setting that I'm missing?
thanks.

Seems that it does, and in CS4 as well.
What are you doing with type on a path that requires it to honor wrap? Could you do it by cutting the path and threading?

Frames around objects

Dear reader,
Looking for a solution for the following issue; a customer of mine is using photoshop (cs3), for some reason a frame appeared around objects. How can it be removed ?
Made a shot of it:

The visibility of that box is controlled by state of the "Show Transform Controls" checkbox in the Options Bar when the Move tool is selected.

Is there a "blur moving object" feature in Premiere Pro 2, like for pixelating a moving face?

Is there a "blur moving object" feature in Premiere Pro 2, like for pixelating a moving face?
When I went to post this question, I put "blur" in the tags, and it offered me a list of tags with the word "blur", including "path blur", which sounds like what I'm looking for, but I a did a search in the PDF manual for Premiere Pro 2, and it didn't find that anywhere.
Thanks,

There is no path option in PP2
If the subject is moving you need to keyframe position over time yourself.

How to blur two objects in one scene in CS4

I'm going a bit crazy over this. I tried coping the video track, into track 5 and put a matte track in track 6. I got this to work once, but when I view it again, the two blurred out objects are no longer blurred.
I had followed this:
http://www.wrigleyvideo.com/videotutorial/tutdes_ppro2_smoothface.htm
But cracked up the blur a ton more.
Is there another way to blur out two objects in a video? I need something that will STAY. Thanks!

The way effects are stacked is also important.
First Fast Blur then Track Matte.

Most flash games have transparent squares around objects?

EDIT: Nevermind, This place is NO HELP at all, going to somewhere else to find a solution.

Exporting as a PDF - white grainy line appears around object

When I export as a PDF a white grainy line appears around an object where I've used a gaussian blur? why is this?

Thanks for getting back to me
here is an example of the problem....
I'm using a trial of Illustrator CC, Not sure on the programme to inspect the files...Hope this helps.

Mirror, Cast Shadow,(Motion) Blur, Extrude Layer Styles

Layer styles are useful because of their parametric and their non-destructive natures.
I'd like to suggest new layer styles, of commonly used effects, that would help to automate lenghty tasks.
Mirror would create a reflection of the layer that fades with distance, it is commonly used in the products pictures of a famous computer /music player/phone manufacturer, and is even available as a word art in Powerpoint! Another common name for that effect is "wet floor".
Proposed settings would be to be able to select the direction (bottom by default), the angle of the reflection, the starting point of the reflection (so that the object/layer can appear to be floating in the air above the reflecting surface), the distance/curve of the fade, maybe an option to desaturate, lighten/darken, and/or blur with distance) There could also be an option to increase/decrease the width of the reflection. An additional eye candy would be to be able to distort the shadow with a map, for effects like waves, but we are way over in the cliché mode...
Cast Shadow would be very similar to the mirror effect, and would simulate the shadow casted by a light placed behind the object/layer. It would use most of the controls found on the Mirror layer style, or it would be available when one desaturates the mirror effect.
Motion Blur would create the effect of a displacement of the layer. It should be able to create the lenght of the blur, a start fade (so that the whole object/layer is not blurred, but only part of it). The fade could have two settings: flat or parametric. Flat would blur based on a gradient, while parametric would fade the blur according to a fixed distance to the edges of the layer. It would be very useful to be able to create a path that the blur would follow, but I'm not sure about the best interface: on image, or in a dedicated widget.
Blur would be a simple blurring routine, that would alleviate the need to create smart objects, and use smart filters.
Extrude could be the equivalent of creating step and repeat copies of a layer/object. It would create nudged copies of the layer simulating a third axis.
Controls would be: angle, distance, fade, where the copies become desaturated, blurred, and/or would have lower opacities.
I hope that other users will chime in with proposed refinements, or additional (useful and feasible) layer styles they'd like to see.

I like these Pierre.
Also
Noise - at the moment its possible to use Pattern Overlay and generate patterns to put grain texture and noise into layers. But a layer style with the correct parameters, grain size, blur, intensity, saturation (Saturation applies to the saturation of the noise not the image), would be useful.
This brings me back to feature request made about a year or so ago, that it woud be possible to sample overall image 'noise'or 'grain' and to apply this to areas. It would use image analysis tecniques, although Im not sure yet what these would be - to create an 'average' grain structure for the existing image (probably the base layer but this could be redefined). This would mean that any bad retouching (blurring or image softening) could be more easily salvaged, and would also mean that its easy to do much more destructive editing, more freely on an image than before, without the worry of banding on output.
If I think of any others I'll post them

How to motion blur an object into a scene?

I am using match move to attach an image to an object in my video. The object sometime moves around enough where there is significant motion blur. Obviously I need the image that I am adding to match this motion blur. The motion blur filter doesn't seem to work for this (at least by itself). All it does it make the image blurry within side of the bounds of the image. The motion blur in any given frame is happening along a path, and the image needs to be stretched along that path as well as blurred into the background. How do I accomplish this effect?

Hi,
You can turn on motion blur. Have a look in the view menu to turn this on. Have a look in the project properties to set the number of samples and shutter angle. However this is a per project setting rather than by layer.
Or you could a directional blur and keyframe the amount as you need.

Text flow around objects such as giraffe neck in sample

Hi
I am new here. I bought pages yesterday. Awesome app. On the example pages there is a giraffe and the text flows around it's neck. When I tried to do something similar the text only flows around the whole square image imported regardless of white space. How do you get text to flow around non square objects.
In the getting started there is a butterfly and the golden viewer. In those cases the text also flows around the non square shape of these objects
Do you need an app to cut out such objects and paste them direct into pages?
Or in other words : how did they get the text to flow around giraffe neck?
Thanks a mil
Corne

Corne ~ Welcome to the discussions. See this Help page:
http://help.apple.com/iwork/1.3/safari/index.html#tan72488c93
...If following the instructions there for "+Wrap text around an object"+ doesn't do it, it implies that you'll have to cut around the image first. And this phrase there, seems to suggest that you'll have to cut around first:
"Especially if you have images with irregular outlines, you can use text wrap to create visually playful layouts in which the text follows the contours of the image."

Editor doesn't see text flowing around object

I've placed a psd file with a transparent background and next to it a text frame. The text flows around the non transparent parts of the object. When the editor opens the file, the image shows as kind of a preview version. Light coloured and with a non transparent background. But what's worse, the text isn't flowing around the object. Instead it flows around the object frame. See attached image. Left the view in Incopy, right in Indesign as it should be. What is causing this? When the editor edits the text and I open it again in Indesign, the text still flows around the man.

Both are CS3. I save the Indesign (with the correct text wrap around the alpha channel) and the assignment is opened in Incopy at a remote location (where ever the editors are). They see the image with the text wrapped around the image frame instead of the transparent part. The can edit the file and when I open it in Indesign again, the text flows around the non transparent parts again. The Indesign file is a new document. Doesn't matter whether I open the ID or IC file, both open with the text wrapped around the object. Only when the editor opens the IC file the text is wrapped around the image rectangle.
