Images and Shadows Not Rendering Correctly
I am having issues with build 29.8.2.
When I link photos to my artboards and add drop shadows to shapes or objects, the display is not rendering them. It will show them, but if I move or zoom out, sometimes they go away. And if I export my artboards, these issues carry over. The images dont export, there is just a grey circle where that masked image is supposed to be. And shadows from one object to the next are different, just not even there. How can I fix this?3 votes -
Rotating an object with 3D Extrude & Bevel causes pixelation in v29.8.2
I don't know if any user has raised this before, but the 3D Extrude and Bevel in Illustrator (29.8.2) has an issue. When trying to manipulate an object by rotating it, the object completely pixelates as it is adjusted. It's impossible to ascertain the positioning as it just becomes a massed blob of pixels whilst I am trying to position it. Whether positioning it manually, or by using the X,Y, Z sliders, the problem still persists. Zooming in doesn't work either (the pixellation just increases in size). See screen grab- as you can see, the item I am trying to…

Real Time Drawing & Editing will not turn off for drawing shapes
When I have Real Time Drawing & Editing turned OFF, shapes (rectangle, ellipse) still show up filled while drawing, instead of just the vector outline as expected.
Steps to recreate:
turn off real-time drawing & editing
select random fill color
select shape tool
draw shapeexpected result: only vector outline is seen during drawing
actual result: filled shape is seen during drawingI tested this and found the same behavior on both my Windows 10 desktop and my Windows 11 Laptop, both running Illustrator 29.8.1 (64-bit).
There is no problem when moving an object, that still displays the vector outline…
5 votesFixed and works as it should do in Beta 30.0.0.72 — please try to install it (or update if it’s installed) and verify if it works for you, before it gets pushed into General build.

This file will not allow viewing in GPU mode on my computer. It works fine on other computers.
Apple M2 Max Macbook Pro 16-inch, 2023 OS 15.6 (24G84)
Using Illustrator 29.7.1
Upon opening this file (attachement wouldn't work - please provide another way to transfer) I can not use GPU mode no matter what I do. I tried reinstalling all of Creative Cloud, and then completely wiped my computer and started fresh. The file is still glitchy. It seems to only happen on my computer. Colleagues do not have an issue with the file. Happy to provide the packaged file, just can't upload zip here.

Curved paths not honouring guide styles / Guides are not dotted
When converting artwork to guides, anything that has a curved path does not show the guide style set up in preferences. In my case I have guides set up as a dashed line with a light grey colour. What I'm seeing is a solid black line. Happens in AI 29.6.1 and the beta 29.7 88. Sample shows two shapes converted to guides but the ellipse remains as a solid black line. Using MacOS 14.7.6.
8 votesWorks as expected in Beta 30.0.0.114.
Please test the fix to make sure it’s ready to be pushed into the general build.

GPU Preview glitches with clipping masks and transparency (since Illustrator 29.6.0), white rectangle appears below
I've encountered a rendering issue starting in Illustrator 29.6.0, and it's still present in 29.6.1. Here's how to reproduce it:
- Create a simple circle.
- Create a simple rectangle.
- Place the circle inside the rectangle using a clipping mask.
- Apply any transparency to the circle (e.g., set opacity < 100%, or add a drop shadow).
Result:
The rendering becomes corrupted for any object positioned beneath the clipping mask (try placing a filled shape underneath to see the issue clearly).Additional Notes:
The issue only appears in GPU Preview.
Switching to CPU Preview restores correct rendering.

Severe color shift in GPU Preview when placing images — macOS Sequoia + M4 chip + Illustrator 2025
I'm experiencing a serious color rendering issue in Adobe Illustrator 2025 on my new MacBook Pro (M4 chip) running macOS Sequoia 15.5.
When placing or embedding images (JPG/PNG), the GPU Preview mode displays extreme color shifts, making the artwork look completely different from the source image. However, switching to CPU Preview restores correct colors— but the performance becomes noticeably slower and almost unusable for real-time editing.
As a professional designer, I rely on GPU Preview for efficient, accurate work. This bug breaks trust in color fidelity and slows down production significantly. Please investigate and address this GPU rendering issue on…1 voteHi,

Sudden and constant "Out of GPU memory" error, Ai 29.4
I am suddenly getting constant "Out of GPU memory" errors, which renders all the graphics in "Outline" view, and crashes Illustrator. It just started occurring today (Wednesday April 23, 2025). Yesterday everything was fine.
