  1. separation preview

    You have to turn off each color individually in separation preview .
    With Photoshop you only need to click on a color. Hold down the mouse button and then pull it up or down to switch more colors on or off. So if you want to switch 10 colors off and on again, for example, you have to click the mouse a total of 20 times.
    With Photoshop you only need two clicks for this process.
    Why isn't this done at Illustrator?

  2. copying from more than one layer

    On Macbook, Big Sur OS, Illustrator V25.2.1, CC.

    Illustrator only copies from one layer when objects from multiple layers are selected. Attached is a video where I select paths from two layers and attempt the methods; ALT+Drag, Transform-COPY, and CMD-C + CMD-F to copy the desired objects.
    Each time illustrator selects the paths I want, but only ever copies the paths from one layer. Even when using transform, illustrator previews all the paths, but when I choose COPY, it then reverses and only copies the top layer.

    Colors in distilled files switch from CMYK to RGB since software update on March 14, 2020. This is very disruptive to my work flow.

  4. Illustrator continues to crash when trying to place an image

    I can do other things within Illustrator, but I can't seem to place images without the program crashing. I've tried restarting my machine, updating, and reinstalling the program, but nothing seems to help.

  5. Find Font dialog

    I'm testing the Illustrator Beta version 25.3.192@232370 running on Big Sur 11.2. There seem to be quite a few display issues. Measurement labels are covered in a gray box so can't be seen and the Find Font dialog box is corrupted so can not be used.

  6. No puedo copiar objetos entre pestañas utilizando alt+click izquierdo y arrastre

    Cuando copio un objeto (elemento) por el método Alt+click izquierdo y arrastre del ratón y quiero trasladarlo de pestañas no se abre la pestaña de destino. El objeto se copia, aparece el símbolo + y la pestaña cambia de color pero el documento de destino no se abre. Esto no pasa si paso un objeto de AI a PSD ni entre pestañas de PSD que si se abren y los elementos se copian sin problema.

    Mi versión de Adobe Illustrator es la 25.2.1.

  7. Mudança no perfil de cores toda vez que o illustrator é aberto ou muda de janela

    Meu illustrator está apresentando constantes bugs no perfil de cores. Toda vez que alterno as janelas de trabalho, ou abro algum arquivo novo, ou inicio ele do zero ele muda a configuração de gerenciamento de cores para uma opção "emular adobe illustrator 6.0" já tentei salvar as configurações de gerenciamento, já tentei utilizar o Bridge pra sincronizar as cores entre os apps e nada funciona.

    Poderiam me ajudar com isso?

  10. Typeface combo box doesn't work in Glyphs palette

    Cannot open list of typefaces.
    Clicking on down arrow next to field results in highlighting the whole field, next click switches highlighting off.
    Starting to type in field (to provide typeface name) just empties the field and does nothing more.
    Next field - typeface style (bold, italic etc.) works fine.
    Windows 10 20H2, Illustrator 25.2.1

  14. 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…

  15. There are standards that cannot be selected when saving PDF

    I'm using Bigsur (not M1).
    When I try to create a PDF in Illustrator 25.1, I can't select the latest standard.
    You can save it to another Catalina Mac with the same version installed as usual (the bright UI is a normal image).

  17. Filename field no longer first in focus when saving

    Mac OS 11.2.2
    Illustrator 25.2

    This actually affects Pshop as well I've noticed. Used to be when I save a file (typically done from the keyboard) the save dialog appears I can start typing the filename I want to save, and the field is already in focus and placeholder text selected. Now I need to leave the keyboard to click into the field or tab several times to get the field in focus. More of an inconvenience than it sounds to be but my workflow is dependent on timeliness and leaving the keyboard this much adds up, especially when I've…

  18. Error when pasting if one symbol is built with symbol font

    I'm working with maps in Illustrator and for a long time copying and pasting text inside an illustrator document has been acting weird. Each time I paste, the text is being pasted, but also added to the text is one or a few letters from a symbol font. It's like when copying text, it also copies something else.

    Today I noticed that I have one symbol which is basically one of the letters in one of my symbol fonts. (not outlined) And when outlined that symbol instead I noticed that pasting text no longer added the symbol font in the…
