slapshot Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 It might be your color format. In Photoshop, a nice deep black is a combination of CMYK or RGB, not just 100% black. 100% black will look gray. That's just the nature of the relationship between print and screen.While something may look nice and dark on screen, if the black is a mixture of CMYK and not just 100% black, there is a risk of misregistration when you print the file, and everything will come out blurry and offset.

andrewharrington Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 odd question here but this problem is becoming a huge pain in my @$$. I use Illustrator 10, and last night I was typing headers and labels for a color palette im working on for a friends fantasy football league. anyways, before bed, i could totally and legibly read the text i had typed. today, i open the file and all the letters are big grey blocks. I have to zoom in to 950% or make teh font size 75pts or higher to read the writing. WHAT HAPPENED AND HOW DO I FIX IT!?!?!?!?~UJSounds like the greeking got out of whack. Go to Illustrator > Preferences, and toy around in there until you find the greeking setting and turn it way down. If that's not it, you have a more serious problem.

33hooligan Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I use Illustrater 8 and photoshop and when I retrieve the file from Illustrater into photoshop, the black turns to a dark gray.The problem is trying to get the black to be black without darkening the other colors too.Thanks, HTry saving your illustrator file as an eps file, and then reopen it in photoshop.Thanks guys for the fast response. Changing it to an eps. file did the trick.H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p.stic Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Anyone know a way to add to a Swatch group that has been saved already? The Swatches open differently in Illustrator then they do in Photoshop. I know in Photoshop just opening the Swatch you can make new ones into the one just opend and then just save it when you're done. But Illustrator opens the Swatch into it's own little window and I have not found a way to add new ones to it and then be able to save it. The only way I have found is to click every swatch in the one I open so it becomes a color in the document I am working on, then I can resave it over. But it is a pain to click a couple hundred colors to add to the document. Anyone know of a way to add new colors to a Swatch group in CS2? Quote Donate ? Wallpaper Directory ?

sideshowbob Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 hey guys, I didn't know if I should put it here or in templates, every time I use a vector football template and create lines and make it a live paint group, it totally screws up the template. I t clears all the inside lines and the shadows and turns the rest black. is there anything i can do to get a clean paint transfer onto a template? if not, does anybody have a vector football template that dosen't do that? Thanks alot Quote New and Improved Adrenaline Online:http://adrenalinedesignstudio.synthasite.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33hooligan Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 simple question here, I used to be able to move objects around using the keyboard arrows. All of the sudden I can't.

Dave Ship Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Hi...I was deep in the realization of a New England Patriots uniform concept when I realize that all of my fonts weren't displayed in the top bar. So i open up MS Word to check if the problem was the same but the Office software from Redmond shows me everything correctly.I still didn't re-install it because i would like to solve the problem in other way.Thanks in advance.Regards, beatnik.

gordie_delini Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Hey guys, I need some help - can anyone help me find large enough quality images of the Puma 2006 World Cup kits? I'm trying to make a fill pattern to apply to each team's kits. You can see the main pattern as well as each team's individual patterns at www.soccer.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottysprings Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I've noticed the puma jerseys were very strange in design. They were all basic jersey with a barely visible symbol or design that had to do with the respective countries. On my Olympiakos concept, I tried to use that approach with the logo on the white jersey. If that's exactly what you were asking about sorry. I'll try and find good pictures but I'm not sure if I'll be able to dig any up. One awesome thing I remember that Puma did for Ghana's kit a few years ago was make mock lion claw tears in the jerseys.Edit:Puma football has some nice close-ups of their countries' kits with a description of the image screened on each. Just click on replica shirts.http://pumasoccer.com/pindex.jsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
