I bet you are in your 70's? When I was a young child in the 40's, I too used to have condensed milk sandwiches and sugar on butter sandwiches.

I took your advice and changed the colour and colour profiles. Does it matter if I use RGB/8 or RGB/16?

What a relief thanks!

One of the problems I had ever since using AD is being able to select objects using the Move tool when they may be under the bounding box of another object without having to do it in the layers tab. Or have missed something obvious? I imagine that if you position the move tool over the desired object and click and it selects an object above ,that clicking again would move the tool down a layer until the desired object is selected. I suppose what I'm suggesting is for the Move tool to cycle through the layers each time you click. In DrawePlus I believe it could be done holding the Tab button down whilst clicking.

File attached. The square shape should be White with this document's colour set to Greyscale16. If you change it to RGB16 the square becomes white and there is a colour cast. Grey:colour.afdesign

In my document settings I have set the colour to Grey scale 16 but the white is not white but a pale grey. Why? Also what colour profile should I use with this grey scale? If I now want to introduce colour into the document how do I do it whilst maintaining a grey scale without a colour cast?

Hi MEB, Yes I know that and did it but I would like to see an example of how this kind of masking can be used in a more useful way.

I think that mostly in my case it would be easier to just create a rectangle shape making sure one edge is long enough to clip the blurred line. In my attempts to understand clipping I did try it the opposite way, what you call 'masking' but could never see a how I could use it. Perhaps you could show me an example?

When you say 'Expand' the line do you mean using Layers>Expand stroke? I was aware of the line and the blur both being black but this was just a simple question rather than actually being used in a project.

This must be the only Clipping method left for me to check-out. I would like to Clip the grey blurred line to the black line. Can this only be done using a closed shape to clip with? File attached. Clipping methods 2.afdesign

Thanks MEB. Although I still have to delete the fill from the joined duplicate shape. Its the 'Joping' of the shapes that I missed.

Attached is a file of a cube with a different fill on each face. I want to clip the light grey line to conform to the top right hand corner of the cube. This line has had a Gausian blur added. As I see it there are two different ways I can do it. 1 Copy and paste a duplicate image of the three shapes, delete the fills and join the outside perimeter into one closed shape and then use this shape to clip the grey line to the top right hand corner. 2 I can create a new shape that conforms to the top right hand corner and is wide enough to enclose the blurred line and cilp the line to it. OR Is there and easier way? Clipping methods.afdesign

Wow! There's a to take in especially for someone who only needs to make accurate prints occasionally.

Yes this is what I normally when doing quality printing. What is a 'Soft Proof Adjustment layer" is this an AD thing?

Thank you for the advice. I had a personalised printer profile made to get the best printing results when using Photoshop. I will now go back and reset an sRGB document profile and see what happens. Are my other screenshot settings OK?

I reckon this daft thread could be kept going until the next AD update!

I wonder what new AD users think when they see this stuff?

OK I'll try again. I'm getting a '-200' problem uploading the files. Is this something I'm doing wrong?

Dates, Trifles and now Figs! What next a banana? Don't even think about it! This could cause a very slippery 'patch'.

Just so I get this right - you want a screen shot of the colour page of AD 'Preferences' and also the colour page when I select the Documents page set up. Is that correct?

Yes that did the trick. It was previously set on RGB/8. Shouldn't there be a colour profile where the greys are greys and the colours are colours?

My grey images have a slight 'reddish' hue. This may be due to messing around with colour profilers. Ho do I reset the default colour profiles with changing all my other personal settings?
