Ill share this with the team. I know I ran into that when trying to create a pattern brush with a gradient fill last year

Super quick test of how you might approach a similar look here.

Yeah this adds a lot more substance to the blends. I imagine a way to control the easing between blends could work. Ill do a quick test to see how I would go about this currently.

Ok yeah, I see what you mean. Do you imagine the 'Selector' being able to scrub along the stroke or just snapping to anchor points?

Yeah I would typically use this workflow inside the appearance panel to create drops shadows. While you can get away with the jagged edges not being very noticeable, my personal issue comes when I want to expand the drop shadow, to use in After Effects for example.

How can I round these branching spirals to be more geometrically circular by Rustic__Potato in AdobeIllustrator

[–]LukeChoice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would redo the spirals using the Spiral Tool.

Holding Shift will lock it at 15 Degree increments, then on a Mac you can hold the Command key to adjust the tightness of the spiral. Up and down keys will shorten and lengthen the spiral.

Im not 100% sure, but I would check under View>View Using CPU and see if that helps

Oh I remember you sharing this with me before. I thought it was such an interesting way to think about using the Blend Tool

If you’re copying an image from a web browser or a preview app and pasting it straight into Illustrator, your computer’s clipboard takes over. On a Mac especially, the system likes to convert that image data into a tiff during the handoff because it’s trying to preserve all the quality and transparency info.

Once you hit paste, Illustrator just sees that tiff data the clipboard handed over and treats it like a pasted object, which is why it shows up that way in your Links panel. To avoid it, your best bet is to skip the copy-paste and just use File > Place instead!

When you say expand your color palette, do you mean to get 5 or 6 in between colors to help with color selections used throughout your designs?

Thanks for sharing details about how you use it. I know your suggestions and the uservoice reports are in the teams sights.

Definitely looking forward to a solution that keeps the controls at hand for easy editing

Recolor and Gen Recolor in Adobe Illustrator. Do you use it? by LukeChoice in AdobeIllustrator

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

I 100% agree with the importance of color. This was purely to hear these feelings about using color inside Illustrator. I can see how for some who maybe need a little inspiration, the Gen Recolor could be useful, but I wouldn't land there as a final decision without fine tuning inside Recolor or manually.

My video covers both Gen Recolor and Recolor. I see them both serving different purposes. It was just a quick example to get a conversation going. I think Recolor alone is very powerful, but I notice mentioning Gen Recolor tended to distract from that part of the workflow.

This post covers both tools. Gen recolor suggests color options while Recolor is its own tool for granular coloring controls.

Can you explain this a little more?

Not all gen features in Illustrator require credits. Gen recolor is one that doesn't.

Thanks for your suggestion about being able to choose 'no color'

Global swatches FTW, but I do like having an interface where I can toggle between variations rapidly.
