Posted in: #AdobeIllustrator #IllustratorEffects

I read a tutorial and tried to create a grain effect on a rectangle. I created a rectangle, put a gradient on it and then via the Effects Gallery applied the grain effect, with an Intensity: 74 and Contrast: 50, and Grain mode: Sprinkles.

This resulted in an appearance that DOES NOT resemble the one in the tutorial. The gradient is not grainy, but rather full of pixels, as you can see in the screenshot:

I am desperate. How come the effect doesn't look grainy? Is there something wrong with the settings in my Illustrator? I am a webdesign newbie and would be very happy if anyone could help me out.

For your info, this is the tutorial I am referring to: vectips.com/tutorials/create-grainy-textures/

I had the same problem with a tutorial and managed to solve like this:

Go to Effects > Document Raster Effects Settings and change the resolution to High (300ppi).

The grain effect should look fine now.

The foreground and background colors need to be black and white.

look at the zoom levels, on your document its 100%, on the tutorial its 12.5%. i bet if you make the object you're trying to apply the filter to larger, you'll get the same result.
