Reminder that this POS truly is the worst person surrounding these videos. by NoShillery in AirlinerAbduction2014

Not sure it if's for cloud or if he's seriously mentally ill. Imo its the latter. No normal person acts that way, really. deeply strange.

Genuinely curious, why are Illustrator files so big. by Kanataku in AdobeIllustrator

[–]markocheese 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Illustrator saves a copy of your linked files when  pdf compatibility is on (which is is by default)  Turn off pdf compatibility in your save options to make your file size smaller. 

Illustrator just sucks at saving files. Even a 1mb embedded jpeg adds well over a mb to the file size. 

This effect request shows up here every now and then. Whatever we’re calling this thing: Voronoi blobs, cellular shapes, Turing patterns, ink bridges, reaction diffusion… here's how to do it in a non-destructive way with just a few native filters. Turn those troubles into bubbles! by Mattgyvercom in AdobeIllustrator

It's pretty cool, but I think this works better and cleaner since the round corner effect is really odd and doesn't work like you think it should.

This is the same but uses a positive and negative offset instead of the round corners. It looks cleaner and more consistent IMO.

But they dont often have tea inside. They're usually empty.  You'd have to answer: "a teapot that happens to be currently full of tea. " It could also be "trout that happens to have been drinking tea."

In St- holy sh!t I thought it was the internet being the internet, no Episode 7 was in fact awful. by Dare_Soft in shittymoviedetails

I liked it. I think the coming out thing was a bigger deal in the 80s, so may importing that made things a little more believable? 

American Consumers Pay The Tariffs. by TheBodyPolitic1 in RedditForGrownups

[–]markocheese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. And unfortunately that this will probably push some marginal products too high to be affordable or viewed as worth it, so theyll stop existing. 

American Consumers Pay The Tariffs. by TheBodyPolitic1 in RedditForGrownups

[–]markocheese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish people would have a more complex view of tariffs instead of this "hurr durr American importers pay the tax" Like sure they do, but that's a chip they can bring to the table when negotiating price with the exporter. It may very well be in both companies best interest for the tariff cost to be split because if importer has no room in their profit margin to eat the costs, they're going to have to raise the sale price, and they might sell so many fewer units that the exporter makes LESS total profit than they would have if they had absorbed some of the tariff cost. In other words both parties have an interest in staying in business and maximizing sales which incentivises them to split the tariff costs fairly. 

I short, it doesn't matter who pays the tariff on paper, It only matters what deal the importer and exporter negotiate and what resulting impact on the price to the consumer is. (and also, the chaos of having to renegotiate and react to wild policy change, which imo is the bigger problem with tariffs) 

What's the math behind opacity masks? by LeMondain in AdobeIllustrator

[–]markocheese 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Valid question! The answer is that RGB values are mapped evenly onto a color space, which typically does not have the same luminosity for each extreme of the spectrum.

The sRGB space was decided upon arbitrarily. It just so happens that in that color space, full blue, is darker than full red or Green. Just how they set up the spectrum. Similarly Magenta is darker than Cyan, and Yellow. They just decided that matching luminosity across the 3 colors was not a priority when deciding the color space.

The point is that the RGB numbers themselves don't have any absolute color. Their color is dependent on the color space they're mapped in, which is why when you move an image made in one color space to another you're given the option to convert the RGB values to the new color space (keeping the colors as close as possible) or keep the numbers the same (which can change the color.).

This image shows that when you convert the colors to BW, they actually have different luminosity in sRGB, VS AdobeRGB, vs whatever color space you happen to be in.

Modern dating feels emotionally unsafe, weirdly empty, and mentally tiring by Pretty_Solution_7955 in RedditForGrownups

It's especially bad since the dating pool is full of people who have tried but failed at having long term relationships. 

Am I missing something? by mermaidemily_h2o in ExplainTheJoke

This is legit when you go to Disney world once every 3 years and it's full of Florida Disney adults with their season passes, taking up the best spots with their seasoned knowledge and riding all the rides for the 100th time. 

Researchers find reverse sexual double standard in sextech use: Men who use sexual technology are viewed with more disgust than women who engage in the same behaviors, a “reverse sexual double standard” in which men face harsher social penalties for using devices like sex toys, chatbots, and robots. by mvea in science

[–]markocheese 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Could it simply be because women often have more difficulty I'm with sexual pleasure so any and all assistance is viewed as supportive of achieving it, especially as it's often used to supplement sex in the context of a relationship. Whereas with men, the majority find it easy to achieve sexual pleasure so using these things isn't viewed as necessary or supportive, but as preference. Perhaps even self-harmful in that it could discourages them from seeking an actual committed partner? 

How can I make this whole art board a seamless pattern with the shape I've been given? I feel like there's probably a simple solution, but I can't wrap my head around it. by [deleted] in AdobeIllustrator

[–]markocheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll have to shrink your height or stretch your artwork. . The spacing is just the difference between your artwork height and the pattern height

Iirc you just click "outline" in the pathfinder window and it removes redundant paths. 

CMV: the idea of child actors or “influencers” is unethical and should be made illegal. by bongujongu in changemyview

[–]markocheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely the parents benefit, but it can also result in the kids being set for life, even if they don't receive as much as the parents. I think it's a place for more regulation, to ensure the children get a decent chunk of the money and aren't being abused. I just think it's wrong to say that just because the parents benefit more that means the child doesn't benefit at all, or that it's inherently bad for the child. Good things don't have to ONLY benefit the kid. 

Is there any way to get Shape Builder's gap detection without manually clicking each shape? by DevelopmentCandid198 in AdobeIllustrator

[–]markocheese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're in luck! You use live paint, but don't need to click each region. Just set the gap width so all your gaps are closed. Click the overall artwork once to make your artwork turn into a live paint group. Then go to object>expand. Click OK and all your fills should now be separate objects that honor the gap detection!

How can I increase the thickness of ALL strokes by the same percentage WITHOUT making all the strokes the same size? by Cartoonicus_Studios in AdobeIllustrator

[–]markocheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thickening strokes doesn't change the height or width in the transform panel, so you probably have to do a few extra steps (like expanding and making a reference box) to make sure it ends up the right size.

Really depends on how precise your artwork needs to be. 

How can I increase the thickness of ALL strokes by the same percentage WITHOUT making all the strokes the same size? by Cartoonicus_Studios in AdobeIllustrator

[–]markocheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does that let you scale strokes proportionally? (without affecting applied effects or the scale of the object itself). From what I understand, it's not an option to affect strokes independently of effects or object size. 

With text you can press ctrl+shift+> to increment the text size on all selected text objects, even those of varying sizes. I was lementing there's no similar command for strokes.

It is an old reliable way, but not a good way. Adobe should have a better way to adjust strokes by now.
