Vector files exported by AD are at least twice as big as the same file exported by Adobe Illustrator.
I've just now exported a logo: 28.108 bytes with AD ("SVG for web"), 15.36510.663bytes with AI. (Updated: Smaller file had display errors)Small files sizes are IMHO still important when exporting graphics for the web...
Can we expect improvements in this case? -
Now that I've tried another spectacle, I see it as well...
Thank you Carl and MEB!

Tick "Lock Children" on the context menu when you select the rectangle
Hm, there is no such command in the context menu or anywhere else...
I've tried "Lock" but that does not prevent the masked image from being scaled.

Hi, I want to resize a layer mask I have created before by dragging an image-layer below. The mask layer is just a vector rectangle.
When selecting and scaling the mask layer I always scale the masked image as well – and that's what I don't want.
The only ways to achieve that seems to be dragging out the image of the mask layer... but I hope that there's a more effective way.?.

Wayne, have a look at Photoline.
That's also a very powerful image processor and compositing tool, but only requires OS 10.6:

Is it possible to use a selection for cropping in AP?
(In PhotoShop this can be done via "Image/Crop".)
Or is there an easy way to export only the selected part of a composition?
Thanks
Tom

Ah sorry, I wasn't precise. The culprit is the "Expand stroke" command in the "Layer" menu, which I use quite often.
If you draw a circle, give it an outline but no fill, and than call "Expand stroke", you'll get what I illustrated.

AD is already an impressive tool... but it produces far too many points when converting shapes to curves. That makes it a poor choice for creating glyphs which shall be used on websites and for creating fonts.
Example/attachment: Here I've drawn an ellipsis and converted it to curves. Illustrator needs 4 points for a circle, AD about 25.
Hope, you will improve that...

It would be very helpful, if dragging & dropping a picture from the "Stock" palette in AP would create a layer with the filename of the image.
Currently it creates a layer that is just called "(Picture)" which makes it "a bit" difficult to find that image again in case you want to buy it...
Thanks & best wishes Tom

I believe that you've found a little
bugmissing feature... :)The way back could be to save the file in AD or APhoto and then reopen it in APub.
But a better way to switch between the apps is IMHO to use "StudioLink". All of the three App-icons will be there...
