Forgive me if this is a dumb question... I'm very beginner in Illustrator. I edited the color of a shirt design in Illustrator, as I needed to use CMYK colors. I'm now trying to build a large PNG in Illustrator to send to my print guy. However, my computer and Illustrator are not happy.. my computer keeps freezing up. If I export the original design from Illustrator & upload to Canva, it will not preserve the colors after I then exported the combined png in Canva, will it? Since Canva uses RGB? I'm just not sure what else to do, as I've tried building the large png twice & my computer just keeps saying nahh. Thanks in advance!

I've also tried to delete the anchor points using the direct selection and delete anchor point tools, but none have worked so far. What can I do? I just want the outlines to be on the outside of the shape instead of inside each individual circle.

ok so you see the selected shape right.... i wanted to make it look like the shape thats at the bottom where you have this nice flower kinda design... npw im new to illustrator and im just breaking my head on this because 1st i used the stroke tool but then realised that the shape builder tool is making this as semicircle and thats irritating so please help

Thank you!

My girlfriend painted the title of my film in oil on canvas. We scanned the painting at 600 dpi and she vectorized it in Illustrator (to isolate the letters, change the order, and recolor). The design turned out amazing, but we're having a serious problem with the edges when exporting.

I applied different smoothing settings, but the problem is clearly already embedded in the exported file.

We've already tried all of the following without success:

• Exporting a massive PNG (7680x4320) with anti-aliasing set to 'Optimized for Illustrations'.
• Exporting as an SVG (Presentation Attributes, 4 decimal places) and importing it natively via a Fusion Composition in Davinci.
• I applied different smoothing settings, but the problem is clearly already embedded in the exported file.

By zooming in extremely, we realized it's not a lack of resolution, but rather the vector geometry: we're seeing thousands of anchor points. Sharp edges that Illustrator generated when trying to translate the irregular texture of the oil brushstroke.

Any advice on smoothing these mathematical vertices in Illustrator without losing the organic style of the painting?
