When I create & tile patterns in AI CS6, I see unwanted seams, both onscreen & when I print

Depending on the percentage of zoom I use to view the patterns, the swatch bound seams show up in various locations. The more I zoom in, the less I see the seams, so I figured it was a screen glitch. But, when I save the file and open it in photoshop, I still see the seams. And when I print to my Epson Stylus Photo R2000, the image is crisp and beautiful, but those tiny seam lines are still showing up in print.
* How do I avoid pattern seams, both onscreen & when I print?

So here's what I've learned so far:
To remove those unsightly pattern seams on your web-only files, make sure to choose "art optimized" when saving for web.
(Thanks Mike!)
As for high-res print, I am still unable to remove the seams. When I open my AI file in Photoshop, the seams are still viewable, and when I print the file on premium presentation paper, they are clearly there.
Now, I can save the AI file as a 'high quality print' PDF, and when I open it in Photoshop with anti-aliased checked, the image looks clean, but the seams are there. If I uncheck anti-aliased, the seams disappear, BUT the image edges are pixelated.  Are there any other suggestions out there for printing Illustrator cs6 patterns W/O seams?  Thank you!!

  • Create a Pattern in Photoshop CS5

    Hi
    I can't create a Pattern of a selection area. When I try to create the Pattern at Edit->Define Pattern, this option isn't available.
    I will tell you the steps I'm taking:
    ->Create a new doc and use Paint Bucket Tool to paint it with Black (this is the background).
    ->Then I create a new layer and with the rectangular marquee tool I do a square.
    ->Keeping the selection I press cmd+backspace and the square becomes white.
    ->Keeping the selection I do a Stroke with 2px, color black and option Inside.
    ->Then I go to Edit to define a pattern of that square, however the Define Pattern option is gray, so I can't use it.
    Does someone knows why this is happening?
    Thanks

    I can't offer any help because the steps you are providing should make it possible to define a pattern.
    If it is a glitch you could try to make Photoshop behave by resetting the Preferences file:
    In Photoshop 6 and up, hold down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac) immediately after (or while) launching Photoshop. A prompt will ask if you want to delete the preferences file. Click Yes.

  • I am suddenly unable to save or retrieve patterns in PS CS6

    my computer crashed and was serviced.  Now I'm unable to save or retrieve the latest saved patterns in Photoshop CS6, or save new ones. The program freezes and I get an error message "cannot load the patterns because of a disk problem".  When I save patterns,
    they don't show up on the pull down menu at all. What can I do? I'm told I need a new hard drive for my computer but I want to save all the patterns and other presets before I do that.  Please help.  Thank you

    Is there anyone can help me with this issue?
    Thanks

    Thank You for your reply.
    I follow your instructions and found the file, but what are you suggesting to do with the file, delete it? And then rename the file to Toolkit_for_createJS.zxp and loaded it again on adobe extension manager?
    Thank you

  • I have created a document in in design but when i print it out the borders are wrong. How do I fix this?

    I have created a document in in design and have put a border around a photo and text box, but when i print it out the border is not even. How do I fix this?
    Barry

    Hello John, Thanks for replying. I have attached the document as a PDF (is this OK). I have been tasked with designing this certificate for my local RSL sub-Branch for our up coming Centenary Of ANZAC commemorations. As most of what I do has been self taught I’m sure there is a simple answer to my problem. I have adobe CS6. This is how I set the document up. I first used the rectangle frame tool then pulled in a photo from Bridge and faded it.I then did the same with the logo. For the text I used the text frame then used the frame tool twice to form the border and adjusted the thickness. Then I set all of the margins and the document to A4  . When the document is printed it shows even borders of 12mm on the top bottom and right side but the left side is 34mm. I hope this makes some sense to you John.
    Kind regards Barry

  • FI-CA document type when a print document is created

    Hello everybody,
    We have been searching events (e.g. 0061)/user-exit to change the FI-CA document type when a print document (based on our own logic) is created with transaction EASIBI without success. Maybe you have enhanced something in another project. Can you share you experiences?
    Thanks in advance.

  • How can I prevent Firefox from opening the file I create when I print a page with PDF Create! 5

    After I print a web page using PDF Create! 5, Firefox opens the file so i can view it. Before I print, I select print properties and disable "view resulting pdf". However, the file is always opened in Adobe Acrobat, although I believe I have Adobe Reader set as default. I do not want any file to open. This happens on my non-privileged accounts. On my privileged account, the file is not opened. I have removed Firefox profiles, re-installed Firefox, Reset Firefox in Help-Troubleshooting. PDF Create!5 print screen can only be viewed in a host program such as Firefox, Libre-office Writer, or any other program that prints. They do not open the file either.

    Thanks for your help. This is the Scansoft (Nuance) program. What I do not understand is why when I tell the print driver not to open the file with a privileged account, it obeys me. I am not sure where in the registry I would look for the information. I do not want to, but perhaps I should remove the Adobe Acrobat program (temporarily?) - then what would it do? Again, when I print from other programs - browsers, wordprocessors, etc - the file is not opened after printing, just with FireFox. I guess I can live with it, I have spent too much time already.

  • FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6

    Could you please attempt to shed some light on why FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6, yet apple finder is able to display thumbnails for these same FLVs without issue?
    I'm running CS6 Production Premium with ALL updates installed on 10.6.8
    I appreciate any input and help provided the input is provided by someone who either
    A) knows the answer because they actually work for adobe
    B) actually tried this themselves before attempting to provide a solution
    If the conclusion is that it is a codec issue or a header issue with the FLVs You'd have to present a very strong case to back that claim up as it makes no sense whatsoever that CS6 is unable to generate thumbnails for media encoded using CS6, yet Apple finder can without issue. NOT to mention the FLVs in question are CREATED on the same machine with the same codecs installed that is trying to generate previews in Bridge.
    Apologies if my frustration is showing, I've gotten and seen several... incompetent replies on this forum regarding this issue and it has never been actually addressed properly as far as I can tell by Adobe support.

    We are all just incompetent users here.  As pointed out before this is just a user to user forum, Adobe rarely checks in.
    I was hoping by now you would have gotten to the bottom of this problem and were offering a solution.

  • I used a Photoshop file as my background for a brochure in InDesign CS6 and when I print it thru eit

    I used a Photoshop file as my background for a brochure in InDesign CS6 and when I print it thru either InDesign or via exporting it as a pdf it always has a white border.  How can I eliminate this?  I was on the phone with a tech for an hour and fifteen minutes.  The answer I was given is that InDesign places white borders automatically.  Need help, the white borders do not coincide with a mostly black background.

    I am not certain you understood the technical support person from wherever you shought help.
    ID will simply output what you tell it to. If you have designed a brochure that has a bleed and your PS file extends into the bleed, and you output a PDF with the correct settings, and send it to a service bureau (not certain about instyprint) that can print that size with bleeds, then trim it to size...phew. Seems like a run-on sentance there.
    As for printing to the edge of a piece of paper on a local printer that supports it, you need to set up the printer to do so. At least that's how it has worked with the borderless printers I have used.
    If you need an inexpensive brochure printed, try Quantum Digital. As long as you design it to their specs, it is a quick turn, the printing is fine for most inexpensive jobs, and they are pretty inexpensive. Offset quality they are not.
    But your file better be constructed properly.
    Take care, Mike

    No. Only if you apply the pattern to a form without perspective, then expand the pattern fill and attach it to a grid plane

  • How to create this pattern

    Using Illustrator CS5, any suggestions on how to efficiently create a pattern similar to this one?

    Maybe the desire is for a parallel contour effect that automatically eliminates overlaps in one move (common in other programs), like the first three examples.

  • How do I create a pattern inside of a circle?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a monogram with PhotoShop. I have everything created, but I want to add either large dots or a chevron pattern to the inside of the circle. However, I am running into problems:
    1.  I have a green circle inside of a pink circle.
    2.  I want to create a white pattern inside of the green circle without affecting the pink circle. (I would like to create a series of white dots in one case, and a white chevron in the other case).
    3.  I would like the monogram to be on top of the green / dot pattern.
    4.  I would like to use this again if possible, but I'm not sure whether (or how) to create a pattern for this.
    Any tips would be helpful. I'm pretty good with the basics of PS, but I don't understand masking at all (yet).
    Thank you so much!
