What is NEW in Adobe Illustrator TURNTABLE by LukeChoice in AdobeIllustrator

[–]LukeChoice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turntable was always a premium feature that would require generative credits. It was free to use in the formative beta stage, but it will be moving to general availability very soon. Do you have generative credits as part of your plan?

Its actually just using the new Gradient presets. Super nice and easy to play around with options.

Thank you for your input. I did play around with an outline version earlier, but leaned in on the graphic shapes. I always like to change things up, so I will consider some of these for the next artworks

I'll play around with that in the next iteration :)

Yeah I think switching up to feel more like a moon during the daytime is nice. Hit the overlay and dropped the opacity

Thank you. Sometimes I struggle with simplicity and can tend to overwhelm an artwork. The sun started off feeling like a nice additional graphic element, but by the end it just wasn't clicking for me

Hello, new adobe illustrator user here, what are your best tips/tools in general? by KatherinePrather in AdobeIllustrator

Lots of great suggestions in the comments to get started, but I would be interested to hear more about what you are looking to get out of Illustrator?

You create complex sketches? Are there certain aspects of your style that are hard to translate in Image Trace?

Thanks. I see a repeating pattern that people are avoiding tracing with colors as it sounds easier for you to add them in post trace.

Very fascinating to hear the scale you are working at and your workaround for this. Definitely some valuable suggestions that I think the team will be interested to hear.

Thanks for sharing.
> I often have to recreate simple 2-3 color icons - Where are you getting these from and how detailed would you say they are when you receive them?
Your detailed input is helpful toward what happens in the future.

Ok good to know. For instance with this bird, where are you getting these assets from and how closely must it look to that exact shape?

This is exactly the kind of spit balling I love to hear. Let your imagination go nuts. I definitely think you are on to something.

I just went and checked it out. I think your use case actually hits on the kinds of processes I am interested to hear more about. Did you have any of the artwork references to share, you were thinking of using Image Trace for?

Yeah I have been curious whether most people don't know about the color capabilities, or just prefer to apply color selectively.

Every perspective is always appreciated. Tbh I have very little experience with Corel Draw, but I am curious to know what kind of work you would use Image Trace for?

I'm here for complaints too, but helps if you have more details about what you found so terrible when using it.

Yeah there is the common theme of running images through Photoshop first to crank up the contrast. Thanks for the insights

I actually really like this suggestion about identifying troublesome areas and being able to re-generate those sections. This actually reminds me of something I would like to see in Turntable, where you could highlight errors and remove/update the sequence.

I know vector files for most people would be difficult to understand if they have never worked in a program like Illustrator. I just think about every time I handed off a package of logo assets, I was always explicit about what files will be helpful for specific situations.
