    Adobe team, there are many requests for the ability to set and lock a default color mode, particularly HSB. These many requests are scattered across the uservoice forum with different terminology in turn lowering the collective vote weight.

    This is an essential feature. I, and many other users change the sliders to HSB hundreds of time a day. Can you help us? ...... can you respond....?

    I never want to see an RGB slider ever again in my life.

    There are many similar requests with different titles. @adobe: how do we combine the same but differently worded requests into one mega request? The votes would add up.

    Im a pro in a large design business. I have absolutely no need for RGB sliders in any web or print situation. I would like an option to configure AI so that all color sliders can be set to HSB permanently. I never want to see RGB sliders again.

    How can we pull the all the scattered posts/requests + votes into one strong message?

    Personally, I would like the preference option to replace all RGB sliders with HSB. I would like to be able to configure AI so that I never see RGB sliders ever again.

    Agreed. HSB is better than RGB in every way. A normal person can't compute the RGB sliders. There is no reason to use RGB as the default. Im a high level professional designer working in about 50% digital and 50% print but I spend 90% of my time in an RGB workspace using 90%+ HSB sliders. I never ever (0%) use RGB sliders. Come on adobe..... its 2021.

    Agreed! This would be extremely helpful. RBG colorspace should allow a global HSB option for all swatches. HSB is much better and most of us think in those terms. It would improve my workflow as well.

    Adobe Team, What is the status here? Last update from you guys was 2018. This HAS to be one of the easiest fixes you guys can make. Its in the top 10 of requests. Its involves simply changing the state of a default checkbox from "checked" to "unchecked". There is no dispute among users. Can we get a response please?

    Its probably as simple as changing a 1 to a zero in the code for this specific setting.

    The fact that some of these simple, yet user-essential changes (like HSB default sliders) haven't budged in years but they researched Grammarly support for AI, says a lot about their growing unfamiliarity with the core user's needs and workflow.

    Hi AI team. To be clear: OFF should be the DEFAULT SETTING. Turning hyphenation ON should be an option. There is no need for hyphenation in 99% of what we use use Illustrator for. I imagine that since its currently a checkbox, the code has simply a default state set to ON. Isn't this one of the easiest user-requested changes you can make?

    Export for Screen is broken. Here is a better example. I placed an image in a mask and rotated -30 degrees. On the left is the EXPORT FOR SCREENS result. On the right is "legacy" SAVE FOR WEB. EXPORT FOR SCREENS is still unusable in its current state.
    I see Ashutosh from Adobe commented - asking for the file. This is completely reproducible with any image. any progress here Adobe?

    Here I am 2 years later and the word "magic wand" is still censored in my original post. Adobe, why did you censor it?
    More importantly, why hasn't this been address? In its most simple form, its as simple as adjusting a simple default setting in the code. No new programming required.

    Hey Adobe team, why did you censor the word "**********" in my feature request?

    An error occurred while saving the comment
    keith-o commented  · 

    Adobe changed it to " ******** ". I originally wrote the "**********". I have no idea why it was changed.

    keith-o commented  · 

    Magic wand tolerance should be zero by default. For fill colors, I never use it on anything but 0. For strokes I use tolerance of 0 about 90% of the time. Pro users are generally using spots, global process colors or simply eyedrop+fill when working so there is rarely a need for selecting a "range of colors/shades" especially as wide as 32. In AI, this tool is used differently than Photoshop.
    Or perhaps default tool tolerances could be part of a user preference?setting/workspace. (Along with setting default color swatches to HSB sliders)

    I have the same issue. If I rename (not resave) the file to .pdf, quickview works properly. Im not suggesting as a solution/workaround, just noting as an observation.

    This is a HUGE issue.

    Hi Everyone,

    All the effect checkboxes have now been set to ON by default, and are sticky (meaning that if you disable preview, on next launch of Illustrator preview will remain disabled). This functionality now is available in our latest release build – 24.1.1 for Win and 24.1 for Mac which is available worldwide now.

    We are working on making all remaining preview check-boxes sticky. Will update this thread when done!

    What’s new in 24.1: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/whats-new.html

    You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

    Thank you for all the feedback.

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 23.0.6 which is available worldwide now.

    Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.

    Agreed. This would be very helpful to my workflow as a print designer, web designer and illustrator. I need to be able to make global changes to existing, in-use color (global process) swatches. I need to make those changes with HEX#.

    From my testing, Flatten Transparency doesn't do anything to effect the the mask export. Can you tell us how you achieved the desired results?

    Its a huge oversight which I attribute to the design team not actually understanding how pro users are working and the types of assets they are typically creating in AI. As Lidoo said before me, NOBODY would ever want assets containing masks to be exported as they currently are.
    I almost never use any export features due to the fact that I need to open them up in PS anyhow to crop properly. Might as well just c+p from AI to PS and then save the asset from there.

    Adobe Illustrator's Multithreading Journey Begins!

     

    Dear Illustrator Community,


    I'm thrilled to announce that we've embarked on an exciting journey to bring multithreading capabilities to Adobe Illustrator. This significant undertaking will enhance performance and responsiveness across various aspects of the application.


    While this is a complex process that will take some time to fully implement, I wanted to share our progress so far.


    Our Approach

    We've strategically begun by focusing on the most computationally intensive operations—those that typically take more time and block the main thread, resulting in slower response times while you work. By moving these operations to separate threads, we aim to significantly improve your overall experience with Illustrator.


    It's important to note that you may see more noticeable impact in some areas than others initially. However, we want to assure you that this is just the beginning, and we will continue this journey to bring improvements across…
