Adobe Illustrator <\/b>is a creative graphics designing software used to make professional quality artworks, illustrations, and computerized drawings. It is renowned and widely used by visual artists, graphics designers, website developers, logo designers, billboard ad agencies due to its ability to render high-quality graphics, logos, sketches, charts, diagrams, and cartoons.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you are a professional photographer, <\/span>Illustrator<\/b> can help you manipulate as well as recolor your work and even turn your photographs into wonderful sketches with artistic effects.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may add text & curves into your graphics to make creative logos. You may choose from a wide variety of pre-installed old styled, transitional, modern and simplistic fonts.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the distinct features of Illustrator is the ability to render high-quality designs regardless of the screen resolution. In other words, the graphic will not be resolution-depended, unlike most other photo editing tools. The design quality will not be negatively impacted even when you enlarge the image. This makes Illustrator the most favorable tool for creating large billboard advertisements and advertisement posters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Illustrator can export your artwork into numerous file formats including <\/span>PDF<\/b>, <\/span>EPS<\/b>, <\/span>WMF<\/b>, <\/span>VML<\/b>, <\/span>SVG<\/b>, apart from other popular image formats such as <\/span>JPG<\/b>, <\/span>PNG<\/b>, <\/span>BMP<\/b>, <\/span>GIF<\/b>, and not to mention Adobe-family file formats (such as <\/span>Photoshop PSD<\/b>), and <\/span>AutoCAD Drawing & Interchange<\/b> formats.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company charges a subscription-based payment model for individuals and businesses. Illustrator is currently available for a free trial period of <\/span>7<\/b> days.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are many ways to learn Illustrator such as training centers, workshops, and coaches. However, in this age of the <\/span>Internet<\/b>, many choose to join online courses, e-classrooms and download ebooks to avoid traveling to remote destinations.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sweep the Illustrator Library and Make it Clutter-free, Duplicate-free<\/b><\/h2>\n

As graphics designers, we tend to create extra copies of our work in case of emergency situations such as <\/span>system crashes<\/b>, <\/span>laptop thefts, <\/b>and other uncertain calamities.<\/span><\/p>\n

These duplicates serve as <\/span>important backups<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, too many duplicate copies can mess up the entire image library.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may find yourself in a situation doing the same task over and again on different versions of the same file.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, searching through an entire collection of image library may not become easier as you may come across too many irrelevant files.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not to mention, this can negatively impact your <\/span>productivity <\/b>and waste your <\/span>precious work hours<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

As of now, Adobe Illustrator does not contain any <\/span>in-house functionality <\/b>to find and delete your <\/span>duplicate files<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

But there is no need to feel disappointed. There\u2019s another safer way to deal with this issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Safer Way to Find Duplicate Illustrator Files<\/b><\/h2>\n

Clone File Checker<\/b> is a little nifty utility designed by <\/span>Sorcim Technologies<\/b>. This cross-platform duplicate files finder runs on both <\/span>Windows <\/b>and <\/span>Mac <\/b>computer systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

It employs the Fuzzy Matching Algorithm<\/span> which makes it extremely easy and most importantly, accurate, to find Illustrator images that are absolutely identical in nature, a.k.a duplicates.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is File Metadata? How Does It Matter During Duplicate Search?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Each document, music, image and video file has <\/span>Metadata <\/b>stored in it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Metadata contains various type of information such as the name of the author, copyright message, date of creation, height\/ width, image resolution, color components, text encoding method, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clone Files Checker has an integrated <\/span>Music Scan Mode <\/b>option that performs a tag-specific scan. This means that it can perform a music-specific search based on different criterion such as <\/span>Title<\/b>, <\/span>Album<\/b>, <\/span>Album artist<\/b>, <\/span>Duration<\/b>, <\/span>Year<\/b>, <\/span>Bit rate<\/b>, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With a Single Scan, You Can Reclaim Chunks of GBs<\/b><\/h2>\n

Don’t perform the tedious task of finding duplicates your own. Conserve your time and energy towards designing high-quality arts and graphics than going through every bit of your image library.<\/span><\/p>\n

A single <\/span>CFC<\/b> scan can make room for newer files and gives you a well-organized, trimmed and clutter-free image library. CFC groups together all dupes for easy deletion and has an in-house feature to automatically select duplicates and keep only the newest\/ oldest version in each group of files.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Simplified Scan Procedure<\/b><\/h2>\n

Follow the steps given below to automatically identify duplicate Illustrator files.<\/span><\/p>\n

No action will be performed on the duplicates without your approval. It is up to you whether to delete them or to a folder of your liking<\/span> to avoid accidental deletion of your important work.<\/span><\/p>\n
