I've seen threads about the white lines you get on the edges of objects due to the anti-aliasing in Illustrator, and I found that when exporting, you can remove them by setting 'art optimized' in one of the options there.
For those who don't know the white line issue:
Sometimes, when Illustrator blends the pixels around an object, it puts a thin white line around it that always appears 1 px thick at any zoom level.
It's not really there, and when printed it vanishes. Trouble is, even even exporting the document, or copying objects into other software for screen use, it's still there.
A lot of people think the white line is a tiny gap, but it's not.
People also tend to tell you it's because you have two objects butted up against one another. This is also not true. The white line still occurs even on overlapping shapes.
People will also say it's when two shapes on top of each other follow the same path. Again, not true. The white lines still show up even when you only have 1 object following a particular path.
My issue is that I rarely export an entire document at once, but tend to copy elements of it into Photoshop. When I do so, the white lines travel with it, and become permanent. Even on a .jpg, .png, or .gif image file, the lines are still visible.
What I want to know is, can I copy objects from Illustrator using art optimization?
Or is there any other way to copy them without taking those white lines with me?
I know I can get rid of them by turning anti-aliasing off, but then everything looks really pixellated, so it's not much better.
And please don't bother to reply explaining to me what the white lines are, or how to get rid of them, or how to lose them in exporting. I already know all that.
Notes:
I'm running Illustrator CS6
And Photoshop CS6
