Generate Image says the the prompt is against guidelines
So I asked the system to generate an image. Oddly it’s against guidelines, but getting absolutely no problem in Adobe Stock. Why??

Linked images (with embedded profiles) shift color when embedded
Embedding an Adobe RGB (or any profile that is different than the current document profile) image (jpeg, png, tiff) in an sRGB Illustrator 2025 document gives a different result than with an Illustrator 2024 document.
When Profile warnings are checked in the Color Settings, the warning dialogs are different between 2024 and 2025
2024 warns for a Paste Profile Mismatch and allows to “Convert.(preserve color appearance)”
2025 warns for an Embedded Profile Mismatch and wants to “Use the embedded profile (instead of the working space)”.
When embedding in 2024 the default is “Convert” (which tries to keep the color appearance…2 votes -
Embedded Grayscale Image Inverts When Unembedded from Illustrator 29.8.1 and Opened in Photoshop
I’m encountering a consistent issue with Adobe Illustrator version 29.8.1 on Windows 10 (64-bit) involving grayscale images.
When I unembed a grayscale image from an Illustrator file and open it in Photoshop, the image appears inverted (as a negative — colors reversed). This only occurs when the embedded image is in grayscale mode. Color images do not seem to exhibit this problem.
This behavior did not occur in previous versions of Illustrator and seems to be specific to version 29.8.1.
Steps to Reproduce:
Open an Illustrator file (v29.8.1) with an embedded grayscale image.
Unembed the image.
Open the resulting file…

More than 1 Placed Item that has been named loses name in 29.6.1
Place 2 linked items. Rename each item in the layer panel to Item 1 and item 2. Save File as Template or Document. Reopen. Only the first name appears. The second appears as <Linked File>. Any others also are renamed to <Linked File>. This is crucial to automation of template files to replace linked files and needs to be fixed! Have no issues with 29.5

When revealing a link in Finder/Explorer Illustrator opens the folder but doesn’t select the file, unlike InDesign does
Unlike InDesign, this function does go to the folder, but it doesn't select the file.
I assume this is a bug and not how Adobe intends it to work??
I don't buy the idea that "I really doubt Illustrator can SELECT the file in the Finder / Explorer... I bet it’s something outside of its capabilities and both OS don’t really offer an integration like this".
Why is it that InDesign can do this if there's some inherent thing blocking this functionality?

File with links to the same filename, when folder is moved, tries to open itself
Suppose a file X have links to file Y with the same name but in other folder. If you move the original file so Illustrator can't find Y, it then tries to open the filename in its own folder and find the file itself (X). Multiple links cause the message "the file is already opened"

Confusing repeated profile mismatch warning
When drag and drop is used to place an image into an Illustrator document that has a color profile that is different than the image, Illustrator will link the image and will not warn for the profile difference, even if the profile mismatch warning is checked in the Color Settings.
Using the Place command it will give you a warning about the Profile mismatch.
When the document is saved and opened, Illustrator will start to warn for an Embedded Profile Mismatch and say that the document has an embedded profile that does not match the current RGB Working Space.

Embedding linked EPS files in an over-sized artboard cause them to shrink to 10% and moves
When using an over-sized artboard, when I embed a linked .EPS - the .eps is scaled down to 10% of the original size AND it is moved to a seemingly random location on the artboard. This only happens with .EPS files. .AI and bitmap files are fine - they stay in the correct location and correct size.

The "Placement options" in the document have been replaced with the computer's final settings
I placed an 'img-1.ai' picture in Document-A with the placement option set to Bounding Box.
After saving and closing it, I created a new document, Document-B.
In Document-B, I placed the 'img-2.ai' picture with the placement option set to Bleed.
After saving and closing Document-B, I reopened Document-A.
The placement option for 'img-1.ai' had changed to Bleed.Why does the placement option not follow the document but instead follows the last-used setting?
If I send the document to the client, they will see the incorrect layout.2 votes -
Linked ai file being cut off
a Flattened tiff is opened and then saved in illustrator with a mask as ai. It is placed in another ai. file and when that happens part of the image is cut off, and its not part of the mask. I tried making sure there was only one layer in photoshop and in illustrator, resaved it different ways and still comes out the same. seems to follow a few particular files and sometimes appears all black or part of it black or just cut off. the files are no different than the ones that do work.

File adding images unnecassarily in file
When i reopen a file, illustrator has duplicated and randomly placed (and sized) images from within the file or even doubled the link that was in place. It adds an additional image for each link in the file and also asks them to be relinked! Very frustrating having to look through and clean up the file.

preview for tif images does not change after embedding
I use Illustrator 2023 27.0 on Mac book pro with macOS Monterey Version 12.5. When placing tif images the preview shows a low resolution image (individual pixels are blurry). This should normally be corrected once the image is embedded. But in the case of tif images this does not work it stays in the preview stage even after embedding. However, when printed it shows the correct image. Therefore there seems to be a bug which does not show the correct state of tif images after embedding. This bug is specific for tif images since it does not show the same…

'Export as' SVG No Longer Includes Width/Height on Embedded Images
When exporting an AI file with an embedded PNG screenshot (added via File > Place) as an SVG, the <image> tag in the exported SVG file is no longer being created with "width" and "height" attributes.
This creates an error when trying to use the exported SVG in XMLmind (which states that there is no width attribute on the <image> tag), and I imagine in other contexts as well.
We're on an enterprise cloud subscription of Illustrator, so at any given time we're working with the most up-to-date version. In a similar file I exported to SVG back in January…

Unembeding image to .PSD change resolution
I noticed recently that on my new MacBookPro 16 - M1 Max on macOS 12.1 Monterey, with AI 26.0.2 when I unembed an image to .PSD format, the extracted image is resampled and the résolution is changed. Only PSD format does that. Choosing TIF is working as expected.
This is not happening on my old MacBook running the same AI version but on macOS Catalina.
So I don’t know where the bug is: On Monterey or in the M1Max Chip.

Relink no longer works in most recent Illustrator
When I update links outside Illustrator, Illustrator no longer shows the links with the recycle icon. The relink button in the links panel is greyed out. The only way is to manually relink the files rather than the nice refresh there used to be! This is very time consuming!

1,macos10.15.7 Illustrator26.0 PhotoshopEPS形式画像を配置すると指定したサイズにならない psd形式は問題ない
この現象は、以前のバージョン CC2021までは発生しませんでした。
解決策がありましたらお教えください。
Windowsでは未確認です。2 votesIllustrator 製品版フィードバックにご協力いただきありがとうございます。
ご報告いただいた「PhotoshopEPS 画像を配置するとサイズが大きくなる」という現象ですが、再現できませんでした。
Photoshop の画像解像度ダイアログで「幅、高さ、解像度」が同じデータを各種画像形式で保存し、Illustrator 2022 に配置した場合は、同じサイズで読み込まれています。
いくつか質問させていただきます。
1. Illustrator 2022 では、全ての Photoshop EPS 画像ファイルで同じ現象が再現しますか？ （リンク、埋め込み）
2. Illustrator 2021 で新規ドキュメントを作成し、同じデータを配置しても問題ありませんか？
3. 各画像データを Photoshop で開いて画像解像度ダイアログで確認しても、同じサイズ設定ですか？
4. 確認しても「幅、高さ、解像度」が同じ画像データにも関わらず、やはり Illustrator への配置サイズが変わってしまうようでしたら、問題のデータを検証用にご提供いただけますか？
以上、お手数をおかけいたしますがよろしくお願いいたします。
