Unwanted gaps between exactly fitting shapes - workaround?

Hi,
With shapes that are intended to fit exactly with one another, such as shapes created with pathfinder>divide I find often that there are very small cracks between the shapes and that these will show up if the shapes are exported to Photoshop in a more pronounced way.
What's the workaround to 'seal' one shape to another and rid the result of these gaps?
Joining the shapes is not an option as they are different colours.
Any help much appreciated.

two possibilities:
1. you havean RGB document and "Align to pixel grid" is turned ON. Then there may be real gaps between objects after pathfinder operations.
2. it's just a screen artifact. Don't just open the AI in Photoshop, but export a PSD out of Illustrator. Use the anti-aliasing method for objects, not the one for type.

Unwanted gaps between images in Internet Explorer

I have sliced a image web page in Photoshop and exported it
to .html and images. It looks perfect in IE7 and Firefox. Then
brought it into Dreamweaver and deleted the large image in the
content area and inserted a table into the content area. Now when I
preview it in IE7 there is a gap between the top image and the two
images on either side of the content area. Borders for all three
images is set to zero as are cell padding etc. It displays
correctly in Firefox and Dreamweaver but IE7 places a gap between
the images. How do I remove the gap using HTML tables?

>I have sliced a image web page in Photoshop and exported

That's a bad start. The HTML written by graphics apps (and
indeed by any
'wizard') is fragile, and unsuitable for any use other than
prototyping.
> Now when I preview it in IE7 there is a gap between the

> and the two images on either side of the content area.
This is precisely the symptom of having used a graphics app
to write your
HTML. Why? You have changed the ground rules (i.e., the shape
of the
content) by deleting the large image and replacing it with a
table. When a
wizard writes your HTML, it writes it to EXACTLY reproduce
the shape you
have given it. Change that shape and you change the way the
fragile code
adapts - resulting in a breakage of your layout.
The principal culprit is the use of col- and rowspans by
these wizards -
... colspan="3">
You can read more about this here -
http://apptools.com/rants/spans.php
The solution is to bite the bullet and learn enough HTML that
you can create
your own layouts without relying on a graphics app. Otherwise
you will
have this problem continuously.
1. When I need to merge cells...
a. If they are horizontally adjacent, instead of merging
them, I end
the current table, and 'stack' a new one underneath it with
the desired cell
configuration.
b. If they are vertically adjacent, then I end the current
table at the
row ABOVE the row where the need for merging begins. I then
start a new
table with two cells in one row, and place a properly
structured inner table
in each of those two cells.
2. When I need to split cells, I just insert a nested table
with the proper
cell configuration into the cell I would otherwise split.
The goal here is to completely avoid merging or splitting
cells (i.e., using
col- or rowspan attributes in your table markup), since
that's what makes
Layout mode's tables (and any wizard's tables) so fragile.

Unwanted gaps between tracks on CD

I have cut up a live concert recording into individual WAV files. I assembled them in a single track of a Multitrack session. I overlapped the tracks and allowed auto fading to smooth out the transitions between selections and carefully placed the CD Track Markers where I wanted them near the overlap. It plays perfectly in the timeline. When I insert the tracks into the CD Layout I set all the pause values to zero and burn the disk. When I play the CD there is a very brief gap of silence between the tracks, not what I wanted in a live concert recording. I have no way of measuring it, but I suspect the gaps are the durations of the overlaps. The smooth transitions I hear in the timeline are gone. This sounds like a bug. Any ideas?
Thanks

Well actually it should work... but if you have markers set on non-CD boundary times, the chances are that you'll end up with gaps where the track indication has been set at the next boundary. What I'd suggest initially is that you go back to your edited file, set the time scaling on the time line to CD, and then set the snapping so that it snaps at CD boundaries. Then, reset the markers to land on them, and try again.
If it doesn't work properly then, we'd like to know about it!

Burning: Help with unwanted gaps

Can someone please help with a problem that's only recently occured when burning CDs. When burning playlists that feature linked tracks, I have found that gaps are still being included, despite the fact that I have selected 'none' in preferences. I have checked and double-checked this, but the same thing keeps happening - unwanted gaps between tracks! Any ideas?
Thanks!

iTunes has a preference to set the gap between tracks to "none," which I gather you have already done. However, it does not have the ability to detect and remove silence from the beginning and end of tracks. Is that what you are hearing? If so, you may wish to try a more competent burning program, such as Nero, which can automatically remove silence.

Gap between plastic front panel and metal band

hello, i have noticed a gap between the front plastic and the metal band when taking the iphone off a case. theres a 1mm gap between the plastic and metal, and 3 small cracks along the edge of the plastic, 2 at the top and 1 at the right side. the gap is at the top of the phone from the power button to the edge. the front glass doesnt fit perfectly anymore because the top end of the plastic is raised whilst the rest is flat.
how do i get it repaired?
thx

This damage is to the front screen assembly. This is handled at Apple Store with perfect Replacement iPhone 4 exactly like yours for $149. Maybe much care, skill and very small, less than drop of super glue, will correct this.

Problem: Gap between objects

I've made a logo for a company. I have som issues with gaps between objects. I've googled and tried
several soloutions without any luck. How can I merge the two objects together and still maintain the two
colors? I've recorded a video so you can see the problem by yourself and hopefully help me.
Thanks in advance!
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1773236/logo_problem.m4v

DigiEyeZ,
It just occurred to me (rereading about the change in gradient angles and seeing the video) that you may be haunted by the Align to Pixel Grid ghost.
If you go back to the original divided shapes, select all of them, and then look at the Transform palette, is Align to Pixel Grid ticked?
If it is, untick it, and also untick the option Align New Objects to Pixel Grid.
Then retry the different solutions. You may also see what happens with the original divided shapes.
You may also consider adjusting the positions and sizes of the shapes to fit the pixel grid, of course.

IPhone 5 screen has visible gap between vertical pixel columns...

Hi, i might be nitpicking the issue but my new iPhone 5 (White) has a visible gap between each pixel colum (vertical only). Ever since the iPhone 4 came out I was amazed by how "sharp" everything looked and even the smallest text would barely be very crisp and legible. We have two iPhone 5's in the family and the newest one built week 21 of 2013 has this annoying visible vertical gap. It's mostly noticable on solid lighter colors. The older 4 & 5 phones are as crisp as always. I've shown it to several people and they have been able to spot the difference. Has anyone else noticed this? I've checked out a few display models at the Apple Store and half of them seem to be like mine, the other half are not. I'm thinking the ones that are like mine must all be fitted with the same display supplier or there might be a video chip issue of some sort. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

No , it's common at least I got this issue. I just replaced my iphone due to power butto failure and now I my replacement unt exactly like what ts stated. When you stare on the screen it's quite hard to notice, it's visible when move your eyes or the phone left right. It's very clear on grey and blue color.
I think it's not screen defective but lower cost LCD vendor , I got this kind of issue on my replacement dell LCD too( Samsung ) then I straight ask for lg screen which is same brand as original and no such problem.
Btw I will still ask for replacement from apple

Is it normal for there to be a gap between the glass and bezel on iPhone 5?

As you can see, there's a really small gap between the glass and the rim (frame) whatever you want to call it. I can fit a piece of paper there, as u can see.
It also collects dust. It's annoying.
Is it normal and can it be replaced under the 1 year warranty? I bought the device just 2 weeks ago and haven't dropped it or anything.

Is anyone else seeing this on their phone or is it just me?

Remove gaps between objects in Illustrator

Hello. I have made a document with some objects in illustrator. The problem is that there is a white gap between the objects.
I have tried all the advices here on adobe forums and google, but nothing works.
I have uploaded the files to my website, so that you could give it a try if you want to help.
the files you can find here:
http://www.kasperstaal.dk/example.ai
http://www.kasperstaal.dk/example1.ai
- the one file is a CC file and the other one is CS6...
How can i fix this?
Thank you very much in advance..

For the web try and export is as PSD/TIF/whatever and check the antialiasing option "Art optimized"
When printing this shouldn't matter. It doesn't in offset printing, but might matter in other rare cases. Occasionally people pop up in this forum ...
But since you won't be in control of selecting the service bureau and printing process, you might try and create shapes below the actual object that share the same color and hide the gaps.

Gap between objects

I know there are several threads about this but I haven't found a decent answer. I have a logo I'm working on with overlapping shapes, strokes, etc. Everything looks fine in Illustrator but when I export the file to show the client, whether it be a .png, .pdf, .jpg, there is a hairline gap between objects. Is this only a screen issue or will the hairline gap print?

That's right, it's a screen issue. So printing the vector file will be fine.
You have a problem is when you want to show a pixel version to a client.
Place the AI file as a smart object in Photoshop
See my answer here for a solution:
Illustrator divide problem
You can also skip the Photoshop route by using the Rasterise effect in Illustrator and export as .png, jpegs etc.

Gap between aluminum frame and plastic

Hello, (i know this topic was here few times)
After a one week of using my brand new Z1 Compact I dicovered a gap between aluminium and plastic frame.
I think that gonna be end of waterproffnes so I send the device to the Sony Service.
After a 1,5 month (!!!) of waiting Sony Service send me a new device....and gues what i saw when took it from the box???
YES! same F**** gap! In the new device! And even bigger.
I dont know how Sony check the quality of this kind of products, but this is a BIG joke.
Even if the phone dind't lost the waterproffnes because of this gap it doesnt matter, why?
Because it looks discusting! And its a place for every kind of dirt.
High quality phone? Give me a break....
I think this gonna be the last device from this company.
PS. Im gonna buy this plastic part and raplece it by myslef, and im gonna show you who do this better. (Picture below is from the first one Compact, the gap in that new one is much more bigger)

Hi,
So i replece it by myself. Back frame and back battery cover are new. Everything is beautiful and fits perfectly, no more gap between this parts for me.
SONY SHAME ON YOU!!!
Everybody who have same problem i talk to you.:
Don't send it to Service and replace it by yourself you gonna save the 1,5 month of time

Gap between slides sounds

i import my CP2 project into Flash8 pro ,
But whene i try to test my movie or whene
i publish my project from flash8 ,I hear gap
between slides recorded sounds, exactly
whene the mouse click at my recorded movie ,
I think it is the time that a slide changes at CP2
Projects.
It's very important for me to edit my CP2 project with flash
best.

master2006, I'm suggesting that Captivate is a standalone
product and you don't see the problem until you export to Flash.
Therefore, the problem is not a Captivate problem, but one
connected to Flash. The Flash forums might be a better place to
find someone who can explain how (in Flash) to avoid the problem.
In a nutshell, you might find help either place, but the
Flash forums are hundreds of times more likely (IMHO) because you
are describing a Flash problem, not specifically a Captivate
problem.

Gaps Between Orders while Rescheduling in DS Board

Hi All,
After rescheduling is carried out on DS board , I observe that there are gaps between orders on the resource and the sequence of orders have been changed.I am planning in forward direction and the scheduling mode used is insert operation.
I need help in understanding the presence of gaps and why does rescheduling change sequence of orders.
Thanks,
Shweta

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your valuable response.
By using "Interrupt" functionality in DS board, the partially confirmed operations can be rescheduled, but when you double click on this operation, you will see the checkbox "Part.Conf." is removed.
Now customer want to see this flag stays to be set, so as to configure the color for this partial confirmed operation, and meanwhile to enable the rescheduling functionality.
Is it possible? Any enhancement we have to do for this requirement?
Looking forward to your reply.
Best regards,
Cherry
