Ai display bug




For a few versions now, Ai (Mac/NVIDIA Quadro4000) is displaying 1px gaps in anti-aliased edges. In Ai2017 these gaps are also visible in Pixel Preview mode.

Hope this can be fixed.

Muse: Object info regarding breakpoint visibility

Wouldn't it be great to select an object at a certain breakpoint and than get info on its visibility in other breakpoints? In the current version of Adobe Muse, it's rather binairy: Hide in breakpoint, or show all in breakpoint. I would like a more versatile control over object visibity.

AE: Render output in same hiƫrarchy as Project

When working on a complex After Effects Project with many subfolders, it would be great if a complete hierarchy could be selected and rendered, while keeping the folder structure from the project copied in the output directory.

Adobe Illustrator reverse path direction

In Ai we can reverse path direction of compound paths. But I would like to be able to use this feature for all paths. This comes in very handy when using variable stroke widths / tapered strokes.

Adobe Illustrator Expand Clipping Mask


Expand clipping mask
Sometimes I like to actually cut all filled objects and stroked paths as clipped by a clipping mask. Pathfinder is not sufficient in a lot of cases, since it does not cut open paths and multiple paths at once.

AE: Offset Channels

It takes quite some layers and precomping to achieve a channel offset effect.
Wouldn't it be great if a channel selectors was integrated in the Distor/Offset effect?

After Effects: Set Matte

Set Matte is a very powerfull effect: it allows to use the Alpha (or other channel) of a second layer somewhere in the Comp for a matte.
No need for the matte layer to be above the matted layer!

BUT
Set Matte is not looking at the layer at full Comp size, but to the bounding box of the layer content. Which makes it less valuable in many cases.

My request:
Add a switch called 'Use full Comp size as layer size', which does just what it says, without the need for precomping.
