<div>It seems that Congress is once again considering the Orphan Works act. This would change the existing copyright laws to expand what is to be considered an "orphaned work" . An orphaned work is a work of art where the copyright has lapsed because of either on purpose, because of the passage of time or lack of proper registration. It can then be used without your permission for any purpose. Up until now, this has been mostly work where because the artist has passed away and their estate has allowed the copyright to become public domain. <br/> <br/>Changes would be to expend this to work by living artists! Artwork that is not registered with the copyright office or with newly created private "copyright registries" will be considered "orphaned" and free for anyone to use. Copyright violators can get exception from infringement suits if they claim to have made a "reasonably diligent search" for the copyright holder. <br/> <br/>This is something that would adversely affect every artist currently working today. Artists would have to spend hundreds if not thousands, of dollars each year to register their own work. And this would not even guarantee the same level of legal protection we have today. It would effectively gut any copyright protection we have. <br/> <br/>Here are some links to blogs explaining it in more detail. <br/> <br/>http://chaucer.umuc.edu/blogcip/collectanea/2008/03/orphan_works_legislation_round.html <br/> <br/>http://www.tomrichmond.com/blog/?p=1945 <br/> <br/>http://mag.awn.com/index.php?ltype=pageone&amp;article_no=3605&amp;page=1</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://adobeillustrator.tribe.net">Illustrator</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>Hi there, my name is Jim Courtney and I work for a print shop in Livermore. We get a lot of art from clients and their designers; which we have to make ready for our Flexo or Offset presses. In some cases, that is not as easy as it should be. The primary software used is Adobe Illustrator. I kind of thought up this Pop Quiz for people to test their knowledge of illustrator and printing. I based the questions on some of the things we run into on a regular basis. I'll be posting the answers to this quiz Monday. Enjoy. <br/> <br/>1. What is the difference between an overprint and a knock-out and where do you go to set either setting to a shape? <br/> <br/>2. What has the greater range of color, RGB or CYMK. <br/> <br/>3. Where is the Find and Replace in Illustrator 10, where is it in CS2? <br/> <br/>4. What is the difference between Pantone C and U colors? <br/> <br/>5 You have a Red circle on a Yellow background. Both colors are spot colors. What would be the best way to manually trap these colors? <br/> <br/>6. You have to design a company logo in three colors. It is important that it print consistently through out all their marketing materials. You can be reasonably sure of that if you choose to... <br/> A. Use Pantone Spot Colors for your color choices? <br/> B. Be sure to supply the correct CYMK values used for each color? <br/> C. Give them a color print out to match from your printer? <br/> <br/>7. What is the difference between a spot color swatch and a global color swatch in Illustrator? How are they similar? <br/> <br/>8. How do you make a clipping path in Illustrator. (extra point if you can know the keyboard shortcut). <br/> <br/>9. You want to save an Illustrator file to send to a printer for separations. What vector format will work best, PDF or EPS?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://adobeillustrator.tribe.net">Illustrator</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>I'm typing this from my phone, so I'll keep it short. My company needs an illustrator whiz to come in house (in San francisco) for a few weeks to help us rock out a major project. You must know illustrator for print production inside out, and be able to draw...its mainly editing and correcting other peoples art, but we'll need some original creative work as well. And you need to be super fast and chill. Email me at mariahb@weldonowen.com for more info. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://adobeillustrator.tribe.net">Illustrator</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>I'm currently toying with the idea of submitting some of my illustrations to some of the various stock art companies around the web. There are some definite Pros and Cons to the idea. It would be nice to maybe generate some income from my Pin-Up illustrations but I'm not too sure if it would end up being worth the lost of control over my work to get it. Also, the one place i was thinking of starting with seems to just accept vector files if the are saved in Illustrator 8 or earlier! I find myself bouncing back and forth on the whole idea. I was hoping that some of you guys had any experience with this and might be able to give me some input on the idea.

<div>I guess that questions sounds kind of silly, huh? <br/>But anyways... <br/> <br/>what I mean is: I opened Illustrator today and when I select an object w/ the selection tool, it shows the bounding box, but when I put the cursor on the corner it just gives me a teenytiny square. No sizing arrows, so rotation arrows. All I can do with the selection tool is just grab it and move it around. <br/> <br/>Anyone have a clue as to why its doing this and how I can make it act normal again?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://adobeillustrator.tribe.net">Illustrator</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>I've made a logo in Illustrator 10 (I know...but I'm just learning illustration) using two large letters, turned into outlines and then overlapped so they intertwine. There's a slight gradient on the letters. The client wants a hint of a metallic look applied to it. None of the features in Illustrator seem to work. I imported it as a smart object into Photoshop CS2 and applied a slight emboss effect. I want to keep it as a vector. Is it possible to export to Illustrator as a smart object and keep the emboss effect? Or even better would be to save it in some vector format so I could work with it in InDesign CS2. <br/> <br/>I'm getting confused by file formats and switching back and forth between programs. What's the best way to keep it as a vector illustration but keep the emboss effect while using it in InDesign or Illustrator? Is this even possible? <br/>Any help would be greatly appreciated.

<div>I'm working on a complex piece with lots of objects. I'm building another complex bit for it and noticed that the big file was really slow at responding and refreshing, so I thought I'd be clever and build this new element in a seperate, pristine file, then copy and paste it into the big file when finished. But now, when I try to paste it back into the big file, Illustrator hangs up and ends up "Not Responding". <br/> <br/>I even tried pasting this new object into a New file and it still crashed when I tried to paste. <br/>:P <br/> <br/>Any clue as to how to cope with this problem? <br/>Thanks!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://adobeillustrator.tribe.net">Illustrator</a> - 8 replies </div>

<div>Hi guys! <br/> <br/>I learned how to use the basics of Illustrator about 10 years ago and have worked with it in a pretty simple way since then. Recently I'm exploring much more complex and advanced pieces using Illustrator and I'm finding that there's a lot more I can do with it, and a LOT more to learn! <br/>I'm hoping you more experienced users can guide me in times of trouble. <br/> <br/>For instance - the piece I'm working on now has a sh*tload of objects and it's started acting wierd when refreshing, or when I copy and paste bits. <br/> <br/>I've read the "reduce file size" thread below, and will give those tips a try. <br/> <br/>I'd also appreciate any ideas for how to setup, organize and keep things tidy as you go along. <br/> <br/>Thanks! <br/> <br/>Awesome work in the album, btw!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://adobeillustrator.tribe.net">Illustrator</a> - 0 replies </div>

The theme for each piece in the collection will be about the Environment. We launch our exhibition in Beijing to coincide with the Olympics in 2008, then on to cities in Europe and the Americas in 2009 and 2010.

<div>Is there a particular method to inserting email and website links? For example in Dreamwever, you would click the button to insert those links and type your text in the appropriate boxes and it places them on the page for you. <br/> <br/>Once I finished designing the text, I'm going to export in Dreamweaver. <br/> <br/>Any assistance in this matter woud be greatly appreciated. <br/> <br/>Darren Smith</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://adobeillustrator.tribe.net">Illustrator</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>Hey guys... <br/> <br/>This is a silly question but I wonder if there is an app or a plug-in out there that makes arrows??? <br/>I know in Adobe Illustrator there is a lame attempt but is there more sample arrows out there? <br/>Need to make some for a job I am working on and it would take me too long to make some...perhaps there is a better way. <br/> <br/>-Michael</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://adobeillustrator.tribe.net">Illustrator</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Hi! <br/> <br/>I've got a drawing that I've done on Illustrator and I want to copy the image over to Photoshop so that i can do further work on it. I realise that this will change it from vector to raster and I'm not concerned about that. I want to keep each selection as a seperate layer. <br/>When I have tried this by simply copy &amp; paste, or exporting, it shrinks the image down from the original A2 size to something quite small and really poor quality. <br/>So is there any way to do this or am I gonna have to print it out full size then scan it in?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://adobeillustrator.tribe.net">Illustrator</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>i am creating a print ad using photoshop and illustrator. they said they can only afford to have a 2-color print so i have been using just an orange and a blue (and different transparencys of it) I have a few basic questions (more about illustrator, but also photoshop: <br/> <br/>i noticed there are several pantone swatch libraries. Which one should I use? Are some more expensive than others? (pantone coated vs pantone uncoated, etc.) <br/> <br/>I have a photograph that i want to use in the print ad, but it has to be one of the 2 pantone colors I chose. If (in photoshop), I go to Hue/Saturation and click Colorize (when the pantone color is the active color) will it be able to be used for a 2 color print? <br/> <br/>In Illustrator, my designs are a full bleed. How do i set a .125 inch bleed? <br/> <br/>The size of the paper is 5 1/8 by 7 1/8 but i accidentilly made my document 2.25 x 7.25. is there an easy way to change my dimensions without screwing up the orientation of everything? <br/> <br/>They want me to put all my files (illustrator, photoshop, fonts, images, etc) on a CD and give it to them. Isnt there a feature in Illustrator that can export all of this for me?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://adobeillustrator.tribe.net">Illustrator</a> - 9 replies </div>

It doesn't matter to me, but I want it to be easy for the post-production guy to print. <br/> <br/>Since it is a CMYK job, it isnt that big a deal on what Pantone pallette I use, right? I was assuming I should use pantone uncoated process.

<div>Hi Folks, <br/>When I drag over a bitmap layer or image from P-Shop into Illustrator (Using PShop7 and Ill 10), it arrives in Illustrator with an opaque white box around it. I can't find "make clipping path" in either program, though I know I used to use it in Photoshop before I used InDesign. Will this work? When I bring the image into Illustrator, I can see through the white box by putting it on "Multiply" but the the other elements in the background show through. What am I missing here? And will importing it with a clipping path work? <br/> <br/>These are layers with transparent backgrounds in Photoshop, 300 dpi tifs. <br/> <br/>Thanks! <br/>Violet</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://adobeillustrator.tribe.net">Illustrator</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>Hi, <br/>I'm finally using Illustrator CS for paying work/doing logos and I'm working on a logo that I am sort of hand-lettering (in Illustrator) and I have a question. <br/> <br/>I am using the pen tool and I can't quite get the exact curve I want. It's for the curve of an "R." I cannot get the place where the curve joins the straight line to smooth out entirely. These are tow speapate lines, one curved and one straight, and I want them to join in a slight curve. Is there a way to join them so there's a smooth connection without a little corner on the outside? I've tried different endpoints and tried to make a "compound path" (which I still can't find anything that explains it) and I tired to "simplify" it and nothing works. I want it to go straight, then curve, then curve, then go straight again, (thus the curved portion of the "R". I am confused. <br/> <br/>I also have a pretty wobbly-looking "S" that is close to a nice "S" and I want it to sort of snap into being a smooth "S" and I know it must do this but I don't know how to tell it to do this. I tried the "smooth" tool but nothing happens. <br/> <br/>God, I wish I knew Illustrator as well as I know Photoshop and InDesign! Ack!!! <br/>You may phone me if you like, I am sitting here screwing with this and I have SO MUCH to do!! <br/> <br/>THANKS <br/>415-282-0346.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://adobeillustrator.tribe.net">Illustrator</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>So I have a drawing I did by hand and painted in Photoshop. Now I want to add to that drawing further in Illustrator. I want to be able to match the color palette. In photoshop I know you can use the eyedropper to pick up a color that is already in the image. In Illustrator the eyedrop tool only seems to work that way on things you actually made in in illustrator. When you bring in a bitmap image it doesn't allow me to use the eyedrop tool because there is no stroke or fill. Is there a way to do this in Illustrator? Matching the colors by eye is somewhat feasible but I can't tell if I am getting an exact match. I would like it to be seamless. Thank you for your advice as I am still pretty new to this program. <br/> <br/>cheers, nicolita</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://adobeillustrator.tribe.net">Illustrator</a> - 5 replies </div>

<div>http://www.neowin.net/comments.php?id=27985&amp;category=main <br/> <br/>Adobe has today announced plans to purchase Macromedia for an all-stock transaction worth $3.4 Billion. <br/> <br/>Macromedia shareholders will receive 69% a share of Adobe for each one they hold, which represents approx. $41.86 per share at Adobe's closing price of $60.66. The figure represents a 25% premium on Macromedia's shares, which closed at $33.45 on Friday. <br/> <br/>The deal, approved by both boards, is being described as a way of expanding both the companies. Bruce Chizen, Adobe CEO, described the purchase as being "all about growth," and explained that he expects the two companies together to grow faster than they would apart. “By combining our powerful development, authoring and collaboration software – along with the complementary functionality of PDF and Flash – Adobe has the opportunity to bring this vision to life with an industry-defining technology platform.” Although true, the deal reflects the increased competition both companies are facing in their respective markets. <br/> <br/>Adobe and Macromedia are respected leaders in their fields, and a tie up in the industry has long been expected by analysts. Adobe is a leader in the imaging and document management field, and Macromedia is a leader of web technologies like Flash. The deal has been welcomed by industry watchers. <br/> <br/>Although details are somewhat limited, the two companies announced that they believed the purchase would give cost savings. However, as recent history with purchases such HP and Compaq would tell, there are serious difficulties and costs involved in integrating two companies. <br/> <br/>Chizen will stay in his position as CEO of Adobe, whilst Stephen Elop, President and CEO of Macromedia, will become president of Worldwide Field Operations in the new combined company. The deal is expected to be completed later this year. <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://adobeillustrator.tribe.net">Illustrator</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>I use 9.0 at work, and 10 at home.... <br/>I like 9 better for one reason: <br/>That pesky function when using the pathfinder in 10, where you have to "expand".... seems it takes like 10 billion times longer to do what takes seconds in 9. <br/>The question is: does CS have this annoying "glitch"? if so, I'm sticking with 9.... hrmph. <br/>Anyone know any upgrade-worthy improvements I should know about with CS? </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://adobeillustrator.tribe.net">Illustrator</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>Hey guys. <br/>I know there should be a way to do this, but for the life of me I haven't found it. Its most likely something that is right in front of me and I'm just being blind to it, but anyway if you could point me in the right direction that would be awesome. <br/> <br/>I'm working with Illustrator CS and I need to save the file as a Illustrator 10 file for a client. Any suggestions?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://adobeillustrator.tribe.net">Illustrator</a> - 9 replies </div>

<div>This seems really silly but I need to pick people's brains over the subject heading. <br/> <br/>Created my own brush (strind of circles on a line to represent a chain) but find that when I paint curved lines I get what looks like a fill, even when the fill has been de-selected. So rather then just the curved line I get what can be best described as a crescent moon shape, which is not what I intended. <br/> <br/>Anyone tell me where I'm going wrong? Oh and it's in CS by the way. <br/> <br/>Cheers in advance...</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://adobeillustrator.tribe.net">Illustrator</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>Hi everyone. I'm new to using Illustrator CS and am working my way through the Adobe Classroom in a Book: Illustrator CS. In Lesson 7, page 186 step 4 (having previously selected an object) to choose Effect > Stylize > Drop Shadow. The instructions are easy enough for me to follow, but when I do so no "Drop Shadow" command is present. I simply get a faded "Glowing Edges" command. <br/> <br/>I've uploaded a screen shot at: <br/>http://www.drakontas.org/aio/images/illustrator_cib_l7_pg_186.jpg <br/> <br/>I realize that Adobe has their own support forum but their system is not allowing me to register to post and their Sysop is out until Jan. 3rd. <br/> <br/>If anyone here can offer advice it would be appreciated. <br/> <br/>Thanks, <br/>Steven</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://adobeillustrator.tribe.net">Illustrator</a> - 6 replies </div>
