Warning: the document raster effects resolution is 72 ppi or less

How do I address / fix the issue that leads to this WARNING when saving my Illustrator CS6 file? All embedded images are 300 ppi.

Kristen,
The warning has nothing to do with your images.
It is simply a statement that tells you that you have not set Effect>Document Raster Effects Settings higher than the default screen value of 72 PPI.
If you have no raster effects applied to your vector artwork there is no need to worry.
If you have, you should consider which value is suitable.

  • Help with Resolution/Document Raster Effects

    I am wanting to upload my logo to my credit card company to put on the face of my new card.
    obviously this will be small in size (1.5"x3") but the cc company requires the upload be at least 400pixels x 400pixels.
    I don't want to upload a 13"x6" because they shrink it down and it loses quality.
    I have tried changing the Document Raster Effects to 300 ppi, but the rulers still show 72 ppi and when I save it to jpeg, it is only 72 ppi.
    How can I get a 1.5" x 3" document to save with 450px by 900px dimensions?
    Here is a link to the file: http://buffalomooncoffee.com/images/small_logo.ai

    I am not certain I understand the need to pen this in photoshop and all this other stuff but you can simply export it as a jpeg.
    I am going to show screen shots because this comes up all the time and everyone gives strange instructions.
    1 Make the art and artboard 3 inches wide constraining the proportions (works out to 3 x 1.37) the art is of course a little smaller.
    2. Export it and choose jpeg as the format (select use artboards)
    3. in the jpeg options dialog choose maximum quality and then choose for resolution high, which is 300ppi.
    Now you have a jpeg that is 3 x 1.367inches at 900 x 410 pixels

  • Ai CS3 CS5 - Raster Effects Resolution changes

    Just upgraded from CS3 to CS5.
    An Illustrator logo that contains a drop shadow (created in Ai CS3), placed into InDesign (CS5), and exported to PDF, fails in PDF checking due to low resolution.
    I traced this back to the Ai file. The Document Raster Effects have changed from High-300dpi in CS3, to Screen-72dpi in CS5. Ooops. When I open the same file back in Ai CS3, the Document Raster Effects are still set to High-300dpi as they should be.
    Is this a known bug/undocumented feature? If so, is there a workaround? Or is it just me?
    Thanks in advance...

    125 ppi for a Lambda? As far as I know there are two resolutions for the Lambda 200 ppi and 400 ppi so I assume that if you give the sjop the 125 ppi file they will res it up.
    However if your lab says fine to the 125 ppi and you have done this before it would seem to make sense.
    However if they are using Illustrator to out put the file, which I do not think they would since I believe the file has to be a tiff. I would set the raster image effect to 200ppi.
    But only on out put or change it before sending the file to the lab.

  • Drop shadow failing to blur with high document raster effects settings DPI

    I have a 1024px square artboard (in Illustrator CS6 16.1.0 running on Mountain Lion 10.8.1) with some fairly simply artwork that has a drop shadow effect applied, shown here at 33% with the Document Raster Effects Settings (DRES) resolution set to 150 DPI:
    If I change the DRES resolution to 300 DPI, the blur on the drop shadow disappears entirely:
    If I leave the DRES resolution at 300 DPI, but resize the image to make it a little smaller, the blur on the drop shadow comes back:
    I’ve wasted several hours already trying to get the desired blurry drop-shadow on the full sized image with the DRES resolution at 300 DPI, to no avail. Does anyone have any idea as to what is going on here, and what I can do to solve this problem?
    Many thanks in advance.

    The Gaussian Blur was rewritten for CS6 and should probably be similar in CC. Your screen shots did not get properly attached. Can you try again to attach them using the Camera icon in the reply window tool bar?

  • Document Raster Effects Settings

    How do I permanently change the default Document Raster Effects Settings from 72 ppi to 300 ppi in Illustrator CS2 for Windows XP?

    Open the file called "Adobe Illustrator Startup_CMYK.ai" located at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS2\Plug-ins. Make changes to the Document Raster Effects Settings & save the file, replacing the original file. Take a backup of the original file so that you can revert to it later on, if need be.

  • Document Raster Effects Settings? I can't find it!

    Hello,
    I am using Illustrator CS5. I am looking for the document raster effects settings. I think they are at 72DPI because my drop shadows on my images are pixelated when I print out my design.
    I want to change the document raster effect to 300DPI.
    I googled it and in CS4 it was under the effects menu but in CS5 I don't have the effects menu anymore. It is under Objects->Effects but I don't see the document raster effects settings anywhere.
    Any ideas?
    thanks,
    PedroAlberto

    You are showing us a screensht of InDesign which is different from Illustrator.
    I do not believe that ID has a raster effects setting.
    This is the Illust6rator Frum you are mixing up the tw different applications, they are not the same.

  • High raster effect resolution in large document makes effect dissapear

    Hello
    I'm making some graphics to be printed on a car. I have some lines with outer glow on them, but Illustrator won't render these unless I use 72DPI in raster effects reslution. I would like to go higher, but it won't give me anything. Guessing it's to heavy for Illustrator maybe? Is there anything I can do about this? I'm making my graphics in 1:1 scale, but I do it in a lower scale since it's just vector art anyway, however how would that effect my glow? Since it's a raster effect.

    but I asked the printer and he said 300DPI
    Which just goes to show how widely misunderstood overstated rules-of-thumb are in this industry. In estimating appropriate PPI, you want small enough pixels (at print size) to avoid visible pixelation. In other words, you don't want to be able to see the squareness of the pixels. That's a function of the tone screening method resolution. As long as the pixel size is not larger than the screening method size, the screening method is not going to be fine enough to be able to render the squareness of a pixel as a square.
    Suppose you've got a pixel that measures 1/75th inch. How many round dots will be required to at least roughly render that square as a square? At least four dots. In other words, you'd have to be printing with a halftone screen of at least 150 LPI for pixelation to be visible. And even at that, the assumption would be a pixel that is perfectly aligned with a halftone cell, and on only one color sep angled at 0°. Stochastic screening is even more forgiving of lower raster resolution, because all the screen dots are the same size anyway. They are randomly patterned and their frequency is altered to suggest different tones.
    So vehicle graphics are not going to be printed at anything near a halftone screen resolution of 300 LPI. (Don't be confused by claims of "high resolution" of composite printers like 1440 or 2880 DPI. Those figures are talking about printer spot size, not tone cell size.)
    Add to all that the fact that concern over image sharpness doesn't even enter the picture when talking about raster effects that are intenionally fuzzy anyway (shadows, glows, etc., etc.).
    Flattening "stitching" artifacts need to be watched for if the soft, fuzzy raster effects overlay text or other vector objects that need to be crisp. But that's usually a matter of correct stacking order (or Illustrator bugs).
    75 PPI for raster effects on vehicle graphics is a gracious plenty; probably less. You don't really think billboard photos are sampled at 300 PPI @100%, do you?

  • Change document raster effects to 300dpi??

    Using Illustrator CS
    Am up against a deadline for an image to be printed at 300. Made image using default of 72 dpi. As you would expect and I did not, when coverting to 300 dpi, the appearance of my gaussian blurs are diminished to the point where they can barely be seen, and instead of subtle blurs I have sharp lines. I understand that the correct way to do this would have been to work in 300 dpi all along, but it is rather late for that. Short of redoing all my raster effects, is there a way to preserve the appearnce of the gaussian blurs at 300 dpi?
    If I do need to go back and redo all my effects, is there a shortcut or method or script I can use to speed this process up?
    Help, please? Clock is ticking and I am not working on a new machine.

  • Where on earth can i change resolution values/doc raster effects?

    Hi Guys and Galls,
    when importing a Bar Code i consistently get message that resolution for professional book printing is too low. (which results in text [print proof] overlaid on barcode, which obviously we don't want.
    when trying to save a piece of Russian text (in Illustrator) as pdf (for placing into Pagemaker), i get warning that ppi is 72 ppi or below.
    the designated printer values for both examples are 2400. Where (in InDesign, but problem is same in Illustrator) can i change the document raster effects from 72 ppi to a higher (standard) value?
    Thanks mucho in advance,
    Feather

    Check the "Effects > Document Raster Effects" and/or "Print > Output Resolution" dialogs.

  • Raster effects appearance differences between CS and CS3 at 72dpi

    We have received a file from an outside vendor that, when viewed on a mac running Illustrator CS3 and one running CS, looks considerably different. Drop shadows becomes too dark and too  large when viewed in CS unless the document raster settings are set to  300dpi. BUT there is a white highlight that has a gaussian blur applied  and is set to "Overlay" in the transparency settings that appears  harsher and less graduated at 300dpi. Our concern is that we are sending  this file out for film in China and we have no way of knowing what the  final appearance will be.
    The question is: Should we set the Document Raster Effects to 300 dpi and adjust the highlight so that it looks right...or should we leave it at 72 dpi and adjust the shadows.

  • Shortcut for finding large effective resolutions

    I'm packaging several large books to send to a printer in China, which are coming out to be fairly large folders (the printer only accepts native files). I know that I have quite a few links that are probably too large for their size in the books, but I don't have time to go through and click on each image in the books and check the effective resolutions. Is there a quick way to generate a list or, better yet, a filtered collection in Bridge of links that need to be resized based on effective resolutions over 400 ppi? Or is there a script that anyone knows of that will find such images and automatically resize them in Photoshop and relink in ID?
    I'm using CS3 on a Dual G5 running Tiger.

    Unfortunately if you use round the number will be rounded to a whole number (4.127273 becomes 4). You can add a little handler at the bottom of the script and control the amount of rounding, so:
    At the bottom of the script after the last end tell add:
    on roundMe(n, nDecimals)
    set x to 10 ^ nDecimals
    (((n * x) + 0.5) div 1) / x
    end roundMe
    And then after:
    set {w, x, y, z} to geometric bounds of image 1 of item a of myPageList
    set myW to (z - x)
    set myH to (y - w)
    Add:
    set myW to my roundMe(myW, 3)
    set myH to my roundMe(myH, 3)
    In this case 3 is the number of decimal places you'll get, so change the three to whatever you want.

  • Effective Resolution and INDD display settings

    Hi Guys,
    I recently have been getting some memory issues and issues exporting etc and wanted to know if my effective res is way above 300 thats causing the issues.
    now...
    INDD shows Typical Display @ 72ppi correct?
    so would an image with 300 actual and say 1500 effective (20% of original size) try to display on Typical at 360pp
    (1500/300)x72 = 360 (the image is 5x smaller than 100% resolution so is the preview 5 x 72ppi - 360ppi?)
    is it making the image 72ppi @100% then scaling it down 5x to preview or is it scaling it down then doing the 72ppi preview conversion?
    because images with a high effective preview alot clearer than images with 300 effective
    and with over 140 images in my catalogue, would this extra processing be the cause of my errors on export and just chuggy previewing in typical mode?
    so to simplify it a little
    is this how the previews work?
    300 and 1500 @ High Quality
    72 and 360 @ Typical Display
    or is it like this
    300 and 1500 @ High Quality
    72 @ Typical Display
    with the bold numbers being the resolution that indesign will display

    Where can i turn off resample in indesign to test this out?
    or do you mean the resample when I scale down the image in photoshop?
    and is the general concensus that placing images and scaling them down is just bad design practice?
    all images should be placed as near to the final output size as possible?
    Resampling takes place in Photoshop. ID only scales, which is why you see the effective resolution.
    In photoshop you can use the same pixels to create a really large image (physical dimensions) at 72 ppi, or a smaller phsyical dimension at a higher resolutuion. If you save at 72 ppi, the preview ID sees is essentially the same size as the image itself, while if you save at 1200 ppi the preview will be greatly downsampled (and will look like it in typical preview mode in ID).
    As far as scaling in ID, my feelings are that scaling is OK when the reult brings you into the target range for your desired effective resolution (i.e. there is not a big problem enlarging a 1200 ppi image to get a 300 ppi effective resolution, or reducing a 100 ppi image to get 300 ppi effective) though a lot of people will tell you it's better do do the scaling in Photoshop (and I'm generally in that camp for high-end work) so you can fix the sharpening, etc. Ideally your images will be on your page within plus-or-minus 10% of the target effective ppi, but it would be better to be a little low than to upsample in Photoshop. Downsampling, whether in Photoshop or in ID at output will always cause some loss of fine details, and if the effective res is too high you WILL be downsampling at output, so nothing is gained by usingf images that are too large, and your performance will suffer.
    If your desired resolution is 300 ppi and your effective resolution is 4500 ppi, you really should be resizing in Photoshop.

  • What is the effective resolution for artwork in Keynote? I have a gigantic file I wnat to make smaller, and there are some problematical photos I want to downsize.

    Change the pixel size of the images in a graphics application to match the pixel size of the presentation set in
