Hello, that is almost what I need. Except I miss exporting pathes to tif or psd instead of jpeg. How do I export to these formats WITH a path?

Anyone knows the AiVpack plugin for Illustrator? I may need to create packages soon but would like to stick to Designer instead of Illustrator. But I guess this does not work. Opinions or experience anyone? http://erpa.de/loesungen/adober-illustratorr-plug-in/index.html

I apologize for picking up this issue. I am not satisfied with the results of the discussion. I just designed some simple graphics in CMYK mode, using only b/w. I created a 0/0/0/100 black and assigned it to my design. In the end I exported the layout to PDF. And exactly as described by Chris_K my black in Acrobat ends up as 76/67/65/79 CMYK. This is absolutely not acceptable. Every other color would export correct, but the most commonly used one, a simple black does not? Seriously, guys, you gotta work on this! Every printer will tell me to rework the artwork, and it does not help to "know" that if I re-imported it to Designer (which is still not the market’s #1) it would occur as black only. The printers usually test files with Acrobat Pro and when they see black being mixed from 4 colors they tend to go whoop whoop! I really like almost everything about Designer, but this behaviour is crappy. Until today I only knew this from Apps like Word.

Sure they do, but spending 900 € vs spending 299€ makes a crackling difference… Anyway, thanks for your answer. Maybe I just do the artsy stuff at home?

I am planning on a chromebook. But I would hate to lose the ability to work in my favorite graphic designer applications, both Photo an Designer do comfort me a lot. Do you plan on extending into the Chrome iOS world? For me it would be fine to have an app-only solution sort of "reduced-to-the-most-popular" functionalities. On the road I am not so much into creating completely new art work, but just a little fiddling around with what I have. And before one asks: yes, I have tried Vectr and this will NOT be a solution for me.

Thanks. You know this moment when you are fool blind? What I found was the possibility to mask the shaped area and then fill it – so I lost the shape itself. Next time I'll use your method…

I'm just at a similar point, alas I'm working in Photo not Designer: how do I fill my drawn shape with a fill color?

Hello, I have just watched a tutorial in this topic here: which is helpful, but doesn’t cover the whole story. 1st of all, if I press the alt key I cannot zoom out in the panel. I work on a "german" machine, is the key different? But what bothers me more is the fact that I do not understand the window that pops up after calling the filter. It displays some very confusing stuff (see attached example). Can you tell me how to read the greyscale image?

I totally agree with Paul, charts would be the killer feature for AD!!! You can guess the importance of my statement – I used three exclamation marks. Something I'd never do in normal life.

Quickndirty solution. Same problem here, but I need the metadata. What now?

You are one smart guy. Thx, problem solved. btw: is this a difficult issue from a programmer's point of view? One of my favorite features of OS X is the full screen and split screen option. It would be great if you could solve this problem.

Yes, I would like to use it in windowed Mode. But I have no choice, the collection launches both in windowed and full screen mode. And from here there is nothing to do for me.

Hi, I am trying to use NIK collection as described in several posts. Installation runs and finishes properly, I can guide AP to the desired plugin folder, allow it the use of unknown plugins etc. Now comes the tricky part: I open an image and start filter -> plugins -> NIK Collection -> Analog Efex Pro 2. What happens now is best described this way: it seems the application NIK collection launches twice. First it launches in full screen mode and then in normal mode. I can see in the background that in full screen mode the image has been loaded, but not in the normal mode. And that is it. From here I cannot do anything but force-quit AP because no button will react on mouse clicks. Any hints?

Nobody answering can indicate no-one understands the question. AFAIK: whaaat? Could you please post an example and hit what you want to do?

go to Filter > Neigen?
