  2. GPU se desactiva perdiendo los perfiles de color en pantalla y tampoco permite ver Ajustes de Prueba ni Colores de Prueba

    Sin motivo al parecer se cambiaron los colores de los PSD linkeados perdiendo los perfiles de color. Se cambió a CPU y no puedo volver a GPU porque aparece en gris, al igual que Ajustes de Prueba ni Colores de Prueba. Al ir al Menú Edición/Ajustes de Color aparece "Emular Adobe Illustrator 6.0". Reinicio Illustrator y al abrir cualquier documento elimina los perfiles incrustados en él.

  3. Strange fake rough approximated outlines around the shapes.

    Hi guys. I'm found this weird bug which completely ruined the possibility to display the projects to client. Look at the color Screenshot - do you see these strange rough aproximation lines, darker then main background? When i'm switched to the Outline view - i see the clean outline.
    This bug is visible when i'm using the transparency for this object.
    I've also added an Ai File with this bug.
    Latest AI version 25.2.1 on macOS 10.14.6 (18G8022)

  5. Illustrator 25 very low with ICC profiles other than appleRGB and sRGB

    Hi,
    Illustrator 25 and Indesign 16 are very very slow with other ICC profiles than AppleRGB and sRGB. For example, if you switch to a profile you created yourself with Eizo colour navigator, Illustrator becomes so slow that you can no longer use it reasonably. Switching to sRGB or AppleRGB is not an option because of the lack of colour binding.
    The problem also existed in Lightroom 10.1. and was fixed by the Lightroom developers in 10.2. Maybe the Illustrator teams should get together with the Lightroom teams to fix the problem.
    Here is a video showing the problem:

  6. Video driver error

    I have 2 video drivers on my computer, the base version and the fully upgraded one. Each time I open Illustrator, it warns me that my driver is outdated yet both drivers register as connected.

  7. Live Paint bucket tool preview error

    1. Adobe Illustrator CC 2021 (25.2.1 64-bit) on Windows 10 Home Edition.

    2. After the Live Paint Bucket tool is selected, out of the 3 preview swatches above the pointer, the center one is always wrong / inverted. This bug is consistent when we press the left & right arrow keys on the keyboard to select a swatch. On the other hand, the Swatches panel would reflect the correct option when the Live Paint Bucket tool is in used.

    3. When the Live Paint Bucket tool is selected, the center swatch in the 3 preview swatches should accurately reflect the color option, just…

  8. GPU Preview Disabled when Importing CMYK/RGB Vectors through CC Libraries

    In the latest version of Illustrator (25.2.1) If you try place a linked vector file through Libraries into a document that is in a different format eg. CMYK into an RGB document or RGB into a CMYK Document and it is a vector, GPU acceleration is disabled. This does not occur in Illustrator 24.

    I've tested this by opening a CMYK Document, placing a linked CMYK file and everything works as expected. If you place a linked RGB vector it will cause the GPU to stop working. The opposite works the same way, placed a linked CMYK file into an…

  11. Cannot Preview - Mac m1

    Cannot Preview in Illustrator on Mac m1, running Mac OS 11.2.3.
    I just upgraded Illustrator. I have worked on this file for a couple of hours. It is a file with several items and many paths. All of a sudden I lost Preview mode. Even after restarting the computer, I cannot get the preview back on all of these items by using Command Y. I manually turned on eyeballs in the layers pallet, it turned on a couple of items but then warning dialog appeared again. I don't know if this is a bug or my computer gone awry..

  12. Colors in entire file are suddenly completely wrong (when not in pixel preview mode)

    I just encountered this bug on macOS 10.14 with Illustrator 2021. After pasting a PNG into my document, the colors of everything suddenly look very different and washed out.

    I can "fix" this by using Pixel Preview mode OR "View using CPU", but that slows down my workflow. I even tried opening an earlier version before I pasted the PNG, and the colors are still completely wrong! Can anyone help?

  14. Text edits dont show in GPU mode

    Windows 10 20H2
    Omen 15 Ryzen 7 4800, GTX 1660Ti , 16Ram
    Illustrator 2021

    On going issues since if i remember 2016 or so.

    When GPU is enabled, lots of time when i edit a textframe it wont show the updates. The textframe keeps showing old text, zooming doesnt fix it. Only thing which fixes this is either move the textframe or deactive GPU and restart illustrustrator.

    I first noticed this issue on my old Mac at the office, this cant be updated due to old OS its running. Now i still noticed it on my Windows system running 2021

  16. GPU & Clipping Masks

    Since the v25.2 update, AI is having trouble showing backgrounds with clipping paths and displays as all white. When I turn off GPU acceleration, the graphic returns.

    Also, when I PDF the file or open in the previous version, 25.1 or 24.3, everything displays properly.

    Running macOS 10.14.6 on a late 2014 Retina iMac.

  17. GPU Preview not available (grayed out) after editing artboard

    With newest version of illustrator the GPU acceleration and GPU-Preview fails in some files. To test it i have created a blank document and the GPU preview works. But when I edit the artboard, the GPU preview is turned off at that moment and cannot be reactivated. Reset the Illustrator-Settings to default doesn't fix it.

    Illustrator 25.2, MacPro2013, GPU AMD FirePro D700, Monitor 2560x1600Pixel, Wacom-Tablet, MacOs Catalina and Mojave testet.

  19. AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U Radeon GPU not recognized (but works in Premiere, Lightroom)

    Illustrator does not use the GPU (Setings->Performance says "Compatible GPU not available", even though below the device is listed under "GPU Details".

    However, all other Adobe CC apps (Lightroom, Premiere) do recognize and use the GPU without any problems.

  20. "View Using GPU" Greys Out Using Images with "ProPhoto RGB" Colour Profiles

    AI Version: 25.2
    OS: MacOS 11.2.1
    Using GPU Preview
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2018, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports)

    Problem:
    - "View Using GPU" is visible and enabled
    - Adding linked images (in this case a JPEG) with a "ProPhoto RGB" colour profile applied to the image file will cause "View Using GPU" to become disabled and greyed out.

    Expected Behaviour:
    - Linked Images with any colour profile applied should not effect the ability to use the "View Using GPU" setting.

    Workaround:
    - Open the image in Photoshop and convert it to another colour profile like sRGB IEC61966-2.1 then save the image. …
